Whores On Terror

Atrios caught the same Wan Juilliams quote I heard this morning on NPR. Wanny's not the only one conflating the invasion of Iraq with the "War on Terror." Howie the Putz did the same thing during his little chit-chat today:

I'm not accepting the premise of your question, that Bush is using 9/11 for political gain. How could a president not talk about the biggest single event of his term and the issue on which he's expended the most political energy? The election results raise serious questions for Spain - a prime minister who appeared headed for reelection is defeated because of terrorist attacks for which he somehow bears the blame? And obviously, having been closely associated with Bush's war on terror is not necessarily an asset for leaders of countries that were highly skeptical about the Iraq invasion.

I'll give Karl Rove this much: He keeps the dupes on message.
