Bush is in full spin mode on Iraq -- using 9/11

Cindy Sheehan and the amazing response to her message must really be getting under Bush's skin. Bush is going into full campaign mode to tell us all how great things are going and why it's so important. And of course, for Bush, that means invoking September 11th:

As he has before when he has been challenged, Bush invoked the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in his radio address.

"On that day, we learned that vast oceans and friendly neighbors no longer protect us from those who wish to harm our people," he said. "And since that day, we have taken the fight to the enemy."

The president has been able to rally Americans behind him before by reminding them of the horror of Sept. 11, most pivotally in last year's close election.
Same speech over and over. Scary that the only thing Bush has to can say to Americans about Iraq is: September the 11th. This time, most Americans don't seem to be falling for it.
