From Reuters:

President Bush said on Monday the United States was trying to determine whether Iran was involved in the Sept. 11 plot and accused the government of harboring al Qaeda leaders…

The commission investigating the attacks will detail these and other al Qaeda links to Iran in its final report this week, raising new questions about why Bush turned his focus to Iraq soon after Sept. 11, 2001. The commission has found more al Qaeda contacts with Iran than with Iraq, officials said.

Bush noted (CIA director) McLaughlin had said “there was no direct connection between Iran and the attacks of Sept. 11.”

But Bush said the case was not closed. “We will continue to look and see if the Iranians were involved… As to direct connections with Sept. 11, we’re digging into the facts to determine if there was one,” he said…

Wow! Just when you thought that the 9/11 Commission’s report was going to be the last, scathing words on the attack and our handling thereof, it turns out that it’s not over. Why, there’s more investigating to do, and that could take literally months. Maybe even ’til the middle of November, I’m thinking.

Also, until then, we shouldn’t let our guard down. It’s entirely possible that Iran is the real culprit, which means that it’s important that every American remain prepared for war. Whatever you might think of the Bush administration, now is not the time to show disunity or weakness. We must all come together and stand behind our Pres-

Wait a minute.

Sorry, I don’t know what happened to me back there. Um. Yes. Er, what was I thiking about this morning? Something about an election? I don’t know - it all seems so petty now that we know the threat’s still out there.

Uh, courage, everyone. Courage. And God bless America.
