President Bush has drawn fire from opponents of the Iraq War for mentioning the “lessons of 9/11” and linking it to the Iraq War.
Fact: If it was not for 9/11, we wouldn’t be in Iraq right now. Period.
There’s no way that if we were still at peace and hadn't been attacked on 9/11 that Bush could have convinced Congress and the American people that an invasion and occupation was necessary.
The anti-war movement would have been a hundred times bigger than it was and Bush would have been impeached by Democrats still smarting from the impeachment of President Clinton. But 9/11 changed the entire equation and made it possible for the U.S. to launch an invasion of Iraq.
This is pure rhetoric coming from those who want to take away one of President Bush’s favorite Congressional Democrat-thumpers.
