Scott McLellan, Press Secretary:
“And the President is continuing to move forward on our strategy, which is to take the fight to the enemy, fight them overseas so we don't have to fight them here, and to spread a hopeful ideology based on freedom and democracy.”
Okay, I’ve heard this line come out of everybody from the Vice President to Limbaugh to Hannity to the Washington Times.
“We fight them there, so we don’t have to fight them here.”
What’s the connection? In September of 2001, 19 young men, mostly from Saudi Arabia, none from Iraq, and with no ties or connections to Iraq inflicted damage and death in NY, Virginia and Pennsylvania. How would that have been prevented by having over 250,000 US troops and contractors in Iraq? How is a war in Iraq preventing terrorists from Saudi Arabia, our dear ally, from attacking again?
It’s a freaking non-sequiter AND the official position of the Administration. Is anyone still buying this?
