Lynn C. Woolsey: “As I listened to the President last night, I questioned just how much…”

On the recordJune 29, 2005

As I listened to the President last night, I questioned just how much longer he will milk the tragedy of 9/11 to defend his actions in Iraq. Maybe he does not know yet that the Iraq situation had nothing to do with 9/11, but the people of this Nation absolutely do know; and what we would want from the President and what we wanted last night was a promise to the troops, to their families, and to this country that he is putting together a plan to bring them home. But, no. He continues to use 9/11 for his excuse for a preemptive war, a war that has made the United States less secure, not more secure. ____________________
