Media Matters catches the Wall Street Journal editorial page doing what it does:
A January 16 Wall Street Journal editorial falsely asserted that “[n]ot a single man, woman or child has been killed by terrorists on U.S. soil since the morning of September 11.” In fact, shortly after September 11, 2001, letters laced with anthrax were mailed through the U.S. Postal Service. As the Journal previously reported, those letters “killed five people, sickened 17 others and crippled mail delivery for months.”
But we long ago flushed the anthrax business down the memory hole, so that doesn’t count.
Incidentally, I still shake my head at this whole “No more Americans have died on Bush’s watch” business. As noted in yesterday’s vid, I’m fine giving credit where it’s due - aside from anthrax, and the 9/11 attacks which happened on Bush’s watch, there were no additional attacks on American soil.
But then, we made it a whole lot easier for jihadists to kill Americans by inserting ourselves directly into their neighborhood, didn’t we?
Among the “achievements” of the war in Iraq is the fact that jihadists no longer had to travel to America, or indoctrinate those who were already here, in order to kill Americans. And, just as the Soviet war in Afghanistan helped train the current generation of terrorist leaders, the war in Iraq taught young jihadists a trade they may well put to use down the road. And all on the American taxpayers’ dime!
