STILL TRYING TO BEAT THIS FALSE CONNECTION INTO THE HEADS OF AMERICA

I believe this started with Rumsfeld. There are plans for a Freedom Walk on Sept. 11, which will start at the Pentagon and end at the National Mall with a Clint Black concert. So we have a memorial for Americans who died on 9/11 combined with a tribute to the troops in Iraq. Marching and entertainment. The tragedy of 9/11 and the war in Iraq. They still keep trying to tie the two together.

This administration could not find the weapons of mass destruction that was the reason we went to war. And they've tried to produce different reasons for why we went into Iraq -- they had the capabilities to produce weapons of mass destruction, not -- spread freedom and democracy throughout Iraq, not -- etc. We have created a training ground for al-Quaida in Iraq and that's it. We're less safe for this administrations so-called efforts and that's it. They are still trying to either beat it into our heads or subliminally inject it that there is a tie-in between al-Quaida and Iraq.

So the walk ends with a Clint Black concert, who's song about the Iraq was, "I Raq and Roll" with lyrics containing "our troops take out the garbage, for the good old U.S.A." Memorial service or testosterone release. You want to release some testosterone join the military and go do your part in Iraq.

I can't help but think that this is an attempt for the administration to dilute the interest that Cindy Sheehan and othe Iraq war dead's mothers have stirred up to debate the lie that put us there. With the polls resting where they are I don't think the Defense Department's mixture of mourning and celebration is going to be taken as anything more than another slick PR move . . . at least I hope not.
