Where's the Correlation?

Yesterday, while bashing the President's speech on national security Mitch McConnell said that Mr. Obama never once commented on the fact that since September 11, 2001 there have been no further attacks on this country (meaning, of course, that enhanced interrogation techniques have, by themselves, prevented such attacks). Mitch, buddy, where's the correlation? I haven't smoked any cigarettes since 9/11; maybe that has prevented another terrorist attack. Also, the earth hasn't been hit by any killer asteroids since 9/11; maybe torture has prevented asteroids from killing us all. Also, how can Mitch reconcile his argument with the fact that were weren't attacked before 9/11?

I'm going to digress here. bin Laden has been pissed at United States since we set foot in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and then encouraged Sudan to throw him out of that country. Not being satisfied with simply blowing something up in this country Osama waited until Bush was in office and then attacked NYC knowing that Bush could not resist going after Iraq and settling old scores. Osama knew that we would divert attention from Afghanistan and that Iraq would become what it is today, a quagmire that has served to recruit more fighters for his cause.

Back on topic; what about the boobs in NYC who were planning on blowing up Synagogues and shooting down military aircraft using Stinger missiles? Was that plot interrupted by the use of enhanced interrogation methods? NO! It was good old fashioned police work.

Continuing the tradition of the Bush administration, Cheney and the rest of the GOP leadership ignore evidence that contradicts their arguments and plow on as though they're infallible.
