Bush....

has consistently conflated the disaster in Iraq with 9/11 by telling us that the same people we are fighting there are the ones that attacked us in 2001.....That's actually partly true but not in the way the he has been trying to frame it.

Turns out that most...not some...MOST of the suicide bombers in Iraq are from Saudi Arabia...just like the 9/11 hijackers. Hmmmm, the same ally that has been so helpful to the Bush family over the years? Yep, those are the guys.

When Bush talks about foreign fighters, he never mentions the percentages and certainly never correctly identifies the group most highly represented and launching the deadliest attacks. The idea is to make people believe that Iran, Syria and other "bad" guys are invading Iraq and killing people. I guess Iran and Syria have also been providing some fodder but the fact is that Saudia Arabians is again the biggest offender.....and almost nobody other than the LA Times has said anything about it. Stunning.

They are still not biggest problem for the US in Iraq but the Bush deception on the facts is just business as usual.
