From Power Line blog, which bears repeating. . . That was then.
Mark Levin at NRO's Corner points to the following language, contained in an October 2002 Senate resolution authorizing the president to go to war, for which Senators Reid, Clinton, Schumer, Dodd, Kerry, Edwards, and Biden all voted:
"Whereas members of al Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq;
"Whereas Iraq continues to aid and harbor other international terroist organizations, including organizations that threaten the lives and safety of United States citizens;
"Whereas the attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, underscored the gravity of the threat posed by the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by international terrorist organizations ... "
Yet the Democrats now claim that it is unconscionable for President Bush to link our military action in Iraq to 9/11 and the war on terrorism. What the Democrats really mean is that it is unconscionable for Bush to keep mentioning an issue that has cost them back-to-back elections because they can't convince the public they are sufficiently serious about it.

At his public address Tuesday at Ft. Bragg, I didn't see a teleprompter and I didn't see Bush looking at notes. My impression is I saw a confident, competent, leader. He explained it better than I've heard anyone explain it before and with passion and clarity. He said perseverance is key, and we will fight this fight until it is won. When times get tough the proper response is not retreat, it is courage.  His sincere thanks and recognition to the soldiers and families of soldiers and survivors of those lost in service to their country was also genuine. Future soldiers can be proud of taking part in making the world a safer place, encouraging new recruits. So that Americans can have a way to write to a soldier or support them in many ways, President Bush named a website where people can do just that. It is America Supports You.
