Cubin keeps repeating Iraq lies

I thoroughly enjoy those e-mail replies I receive from my congresswoman, Barbara Cubin of Wyoming. They are chock full of fictions and I can't resist sharing. The most recent one concerning withdrawal from Iraq is just too darn long for a blog post. Here are some excerpts with my comments.

For decades we have been in the cross hairs of terrorists. Even before September 11th, we had lost 600 Americans since the 1983 bombings in Beirut. We must now fight this war on our terms, bringing the fight to the terrorists, lest they bring the fight again to our cities, towns, and rural communities. Radical Islamists will not go away if ignored, they will not be content with attacks on foreign soil, and they will not be placated by nice words or friendly gestures. Osama bin Ladin has called the war in Iraq the center of World War III. He realizes the importance of Iraq, his partners in terror recognize it, and we need to realize it too.

Osama bin Forgotten said nothing about Iraq until the U.S. invasion in March 2003. He then recognized the importance of Iraq, a place where 19-year-old soldiers from Lusk and Meteetsee would be sitting ducks for suicide bombers and I.E.D.s. As of this morning, 3,558 U.S. soldiers and marines have been killed preventing terrorists from invading Wyoming. Two soldiers from the state and one Ohio airman based at Warren AFB in Cheyenne have been killed this month.

The connection between al Qaeda and Iraq has been documented and I supported the ousting of Saddam as part of our global War on Terror.

This connection has never beeen documented and it's a lie to say so. Experts agree that the link between al Queda and Iraq was as nonexistent as Bush's weapons of mass destruction.

I would like to see our soldiers out of Iraq as soon as possible, but not before their job is complete. On January 10, 2007, President Bush presented a comprehensive plan to achieve success in Iraq, including the deployment of 20,000 additional troops to intensify Baghdad security operations.

Cubin has supported Bush's loony war against Iraq from the beginning. She also supports his equally loony "surge" which has been accompanied by a surge in U.S. casualties and a bigger surge in Iraqi civilian deaths. Rep. Cubin says she would like to see our troops come out of Iraq as soon as possible. What she means is, she wants to keep our troops in Iraq through next November's elections so she can count on the votes of those stupid enough to believe her assertions, and those of her overlords, Pres. Bush and (another Wyomingite) V.P. Cheney, a guy who tells whoppers on a daily basis.
