When outlets report on the outcome of the surge, they will without fail include "This testimony coming on the 6th anniversary of 9/11"

-again, linking -if even loosely- Iraq and 9/11
-reminding the audience "why we are there"

Interesting.

That includes Karl Marx Rove.

Which means it will be chock full of lies, and devoid of facts.

I wonder if anyone in Congress will actually call bullshit on this whole charade?

Karl says this is likely to be "just a coincidence."

According to Johndroe, the fact that the pair likely will appear before Congress on Sept. 11 has nothing to do with the anniversary of the attack, but was rather dictated by Congress’s tight schedule.

Governments repeatedly cause attacks in their own countries, blame an enemy for the attack, then enact policies that their public would otherwise not support using the attack as justification. It happens in foreign governments, and it happens in our own.

I don't know what happened, and I don't claim to. But what we were told, and are told again and again and again, just doesn't add up. We need a new, truly independent, investigation into the events surrounding 9/11.

• Why did the Bush Administration fail to respond to over 20 specific warnings about the terrorist attacks given by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state?
• Why were multiple FBI investigations into the hijackers’ activities blocked or hindered?
• Why did the nation’s air defenses fail to intercept Flight 77, which struck the Pentagon over 80 minutes after the FAA first received indications of a hijacking?
• Why did WTC Building 7 undergo a rapid and complete collapse on 9/11 when it was not hit by a plane?
• Why did the 9/11 Commission Report fail to mention the financial ties between Al Qaeda hijacker Mohammad Atta and General Mahmood Ahmed, former director of the Pakistani ISI (Intelligence Agency), who reportedly wired Atta $100,000 shortly before the 9/11 attacks?
• Why did the White House alter the EPA’s initial health and safety statements after 9/11, which found that the air at Ground Zero was toxic and unsafe to breathe?
• Why did President Bush avoid or block an investigation into 9/11 for over 400 days?
• Why was Philip Zelikow chosen to be the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, when he had served on the Bush-Cheney transition team and was a member of Bush’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board?

As a "journalist" you should be all over that angle.
