Jonathon Alter rips Bush a new one for his failures in his latest column. It's a good one, but it would have been even better if it had been written a year ago. One paragraph really set off all my alarms:

The president’s deeper logical problem relates to the way he uses the bully pulpit to make an argument. His habit—on display again Thursday night—is to simply assert, assert, assert until the message sinks in. It’s as if war supporters believe that if they repeat the Saddam-Al Qaeda connection enough, people will eventually believe it.

Well over half of all Americans, when polled, think that Saddam had something to do with the attacks of 9/11. In other words, war supporters were right. Of course maybe it wouldn't have sunk in if it weren't for that fact that no one in the establishment media loudly criticized them for pushing such a blatant lie. That means people like you Mr. Alter Bush may have lied to us. But you let him lie to us. Shame on you Mr. Alter!
