Six years ago, on September 11, 2001, America’s staggeringly expensive defense system failed catastrophically. Four airliners were hijacked and then used as weapons; three were flown into buildings and the fourth crashed on the way to an unknown target …. This disaster should have been prevented, but was not. The people and organizations charged with detecting and thwarting such an attack failed.

And he has been using 9/11 ever since to scare Americans into supporting his “war on terror.” He has incessantly linked the words ‘al-Qaida’ and ‘Iraq,’ a Pavlovian device to make us whimper with fear at the mere idea of withdrawing. In a recent speech about Iraq, he mentioned al-Qaida 95 times. No matter that jihadists in Iraq are not the same group that attacked the U.S., or that their numbers and effectiveness have been greatly exaggerated. It’s no surprise that Gen.
