Cornyn, in Lancaster Thursday to speak to a special joint Lancaster/Best Southwest Chamber of Commerce luncheon, repeated the standard post-election GOP talking points, plus a few more.
1. Iraq is the Democrats’ problem.
2. Nobody is talking about “stay the course” anymore.
3. Iraq part of the “war on terror,” with Cornyn carefully phrasing early comments to allow listeners to infer that he believes Iraq/Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda/Osama bin Laden were connected before Sept. 11, 2001
4. Claiming nobody expected an attack on civilians, conveniently overlooking the infamous Aug. 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing, entitled: “Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.”
I’m sure most of the audience thought every word he said was gospel truth.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
