Bush's False Choice on Iraq
The Los Angeles Times argues that the deliberate repetition of a shameless canard just before an election does not contribute to this thoughtful debate. Indeed, Bush's formulation could lead to a false sense of complacency. Fighting the terrorists "over there" does not necessarily make us safer "over here." This is not to say that there is no relation at all between Iraq's fate and the threat of terrorism to the US. But the relationship is not as simplistic as the president describes it. Pretending these two issues are part of the same problem trivializes them both.
