The Iraq Factor

Tonight on the News Hour, Shields and Brooks were asked to choose the most important factor in the election between Iraq and the US economy. David Brooks felt that the Iraq war was the most important of the two because of 9/11 and the fact that we had to do something about the terrorists. What I find interesting is that the terrorists weren't in Iraq and the "war" was strictly a creation of a bumbling administration. Intelligent conservatives now know the Iraq situation was a fabrication. Of the two major issues, this leaves only the economy and I can safely say that there is very little fabrication going on in our economy since Bush took over.
