Tying Iran to 9-11: The Condi Rice version
The Russians have been throwing fits over the US's placement of antimissile batteries around its borders in Poland and the Czech Republic. Condi Rice's explanation,
Excuse me, Ms. Secretary, but would you mind fleshing that out just a little bit?
How does non-state, Sunni, Al Qaeda, which has no access to missiles, relate to the Iranian government?
Is it your contention that Al Qaeda may conduct a brazen operation to break into Iranian facilities and then spend five or ten years enriching uranium?
Perhaps what you're really trying to say is that these missile systems are for threats coming from US policy since 9/11. No?
"Everybody understands that with a growing Iranian missile threat which is quite pronounced there need to be ways to deal with that problem."These missile systems are for purposes having to do with post-9/11 threats," Rice said.

I wonder how long it will take before the administration starts using language intimating Russia bears some responsibility in 9-11. I mean, Putin's been on a role lately.
In the sycophantic world of the Bush administration, it seems the only one's not responsible for the tragedy of 9-11 are the ones who were responsible for preventing such tragedies.

Very True, and I would add to the "not responsible" list the Saudis and Pakistanis despite all the links.

Good point, re. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I was bearing a bit into hyperbole... as usual. :)
