I think from now on I'm just going to dedicate my Sunday post to correcting the flaws in columnist Patrick Mcilheran's editorials. Why? Because there are so many, of course! That's flaws, not editorials, for those of you slightly confused.

This week, Patrick made the same dubious claim that there was a connection between al-qaeda and Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Let me state something unequivically to you: Patrick MciIheran is a liar. He is flat-out lying to you and I'm not afraid to state this.

Saddam had nothing to do with al-qaeda.

Need more?

Saddam had nothing to do with al-qaeda.

Still not convinced?

Saddam had nothing to do with al-qaeda. 

Patrick Mcilheran is attempting to prove a connection by citing a handful of out-of-context sentences from 600,000 pages of documents in order to prove his point, hoping you will be convinced if you believe there is still some sort of mythical liberal bias in the media, hoping against hope that you are still ignorant enough to believe the neoconservative hype that the war in Iraq has been a "good thing."

Patrick is clutching, desperately, to anything he possibly can, knowing full well that America no longer believes it. I think, deep down, he knows that he's wrong, and yet he's still unwilling to admit it, unwilling to believe that he himself was deceived and used as a propaganda tool by the Bush administration to cheerlead our country into an illegal occupation. 

I'm going to post every Sunday to expose Mcilheran's misleading statements for what they truly are. If I can convince just one of his readers to actually go out and look at the actual facts, then this entire blog will be worth it.

Every Sunday.
