I don’t know, the military and the intelligence services don’t know, and George W. Bush sure as hell doesn’t know. Chances are, though, he’s near the Korengal Valley, a bloody battleground in Afghanistan which Sebastian Junger has grippingly described in a couple of incredible pieces for Vanity Fair. On the seventh anniversary of the attacks, I recommend reading them to see what the fight against terrorism really entails.

I find it very interesting:
1. 9/11 happened on W’s watch, after he and his fellows had been in office almost a year.
2. We’ve been at war in the wrong country for 7 years with over 4,000 soldiers dead.
3. We STILL haven’t caught the men who are supposedly behind the 9/11 attack.
Yet the GOP is the party of choice on national security issues? The insanity is rampant.
That’s putting lipstick on a pig.
OH! You said pig! I’m tellin! Call the media!!
