Leon Panetta, who was recently confirmed by the Senate to be the new Secretary of Defense, told American troops in Iraq on Monday:
“The reason you guys are here is because of 9/11. The US got attacked and 3,000 human beings got killed because of Al-Qaeda. We’ve been fighting as a result of that.”
Not even George Bush utters that lie anymore.
And what was the Senate vote to confirm Panetta? 100–0.
