According to G.W. Bush:
“Like the Second World War, our present conflict [Iraq] began with a ruthless surprise attack on the United States. We will not forget that treachery and we will accept nothing less than victory over the enemy.”
Oh, where do I start?
1. The second world war started on Sept. 3, 1939, when Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany. WWII did not start two years later on Dec. 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked.
2. Ruthless surprise attack?
3. Bush himself is on record as saying there is no link between Iraq and the 9/11 attack. So how did the ‘present conflict’ begin with an unrelated attack?
Harumph.
