Condi still lying, still linking 9/11 to Iraq

From Newsweek's interview with the Secretary of State who just can't tell the truth:

NEWSWEEK: You’ve recently been in the Gulf, the Gulf coast, and some of us were wondering about a potential battle for resources or even an emotional tug-of-war between the reconstruction effort there and what’s happening in the Middle East. Do you see that tension and how do you plan to deal with it?

CONDOLEEZZA RICE: Well, it’s always a potential there for precisely that, when the United States experiences something this wrenching at home, that questions about what needs to be done here and what that means for what needs to be done abroad. But I think that this will come out in the right place because I think Americans know that what we are doing in the Middle East relates fundamentally to our security and fundamentally to what we experienced on September 11, and that finishing the job in Iraq, making certain that Afghanistan is stable, making certain that you have the resources to help Pakistan so that it makes the transition from the extremist haven that it was prior to September 11 to now, and especially the broader Middle East project, democratization, I actually think those are going to be more than defensible.

Managed to work in September 11th twice....just like her boss.

Actually, Condi,you think Americans have fallen for that lie that what we are doing in Iraq "relates fundamentally to our security and fundamentally to what we experienced on September 11." They don't. They know you and your boss are lying. That's one reason his numbers on Iraq have been tanking according to last week's Washington Post/ABC News Poll:

Bush's handling of Iraq and terrorism also have never been lower, according to the poll. Thirty-eight percent approve of the way Bush is handling the situation in Iraq and half the country now approve of the way Bush is handling the campaign against terrorism.

I don't understand why the Newsweek reporters didn't just ask her to stop lying. That was the first question and they know, like everyone else does, that what she said isn't true.
