When Will He Get It Right? Posted by Patrick Barry

I didn't catch this until this morning as I was eating breakfast and listening to the radio, but President Bush once again conflated Iraq with September 11th, this time in yesterday's Rose Garden speech to recognize Gordon Brown's visit.  He has really demonstrated tremendous resolve by keeping the country's attention fixed squarely on al-Qaeda in Iraq, a group that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks:

"Success in Iraq will be a significant blow to both Al Qaida and Iran's ambitions."

"And it's worth it, in my judgment, to succeed against Al Qaida, the very country -- the very group of people that attacked our country and those who would like to do so again even on a more massive scale."

I guess he still hasn't gotten around to reading last July's NIE, which found that Al-Qaeda central (not AQI) is the "main threat" to the US Homeland, or yesterday's GAO report, which found that Al-Qaeda has reconstituted in Pakistan's tribal areas, where they are plotting new attacks on the United States.

This whole thing is so obvious that even the NYT caught on.
