Do You Really Want To Revisit 9/11 and Iraq?

++Ms. Lindsey Graham said yesterday that he won't have done a land invasion of Iraq but something else. The explanations of this fiasco get more convoluted by the day. The major problem as I see it is that this pushes terrorism up into the public concern after it had diminished during the Obama years.

++So speaking of the past--Newsmax screams that Sidney Blumenthal was a top adviser to Hillary. Certainly not during her stay as Secretary of State.

++Remember Dick Cheney warning that President Obama's policies meant we were going to be hit any minute? Intercept published a story yesterday based on former acting CIA Director Mike Morell's book "The Great War Of Our Time:The CIA's Fight Against Terrorism". Dick Cheney was in charge of the terrorism portfolio in the early days of the W Administration. As Al Qaeda threats were intensifying and the intelligence community started to get alarmed,Morell brought the 9/11 threats to Cheney. 

++What did the great terrorism fighter do? He thought they were a bluff and nothing should be done. He dismissed them to the CIA briefers.

++PBS showed a documentary last night on the politics of torture and how the W Administration asked how can we torture and not whether it was right.

++And, YES, John McCain did say he wants to invade Iraq again.

++John Boehner told President Obama to re-do the Authorization to Use Military Force.
