Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gives a thumbs up as she is escorted by Col. Daly, after her speech at the deployment ceremony for the US Army's 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division at Fort Wainwright, Alaska on September 11, 2008. Palin's son, Pvt 1st Class Track Palin, is a member of the 4,000 soldier brigade which will be in Iraq for a 12-month deployment. The Washington Post, the New York Times and partisan bloggers all seem to have missed the past seven years of realities in Iraq - at least insofar as their integrity toward Sarah Palin is concerned.

Palin recently spoke before a brigade of soldiers bound for Iraq, stating that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans." Which, of course, is entirely and indisputably true. Soldiers in Iraq are fighting Al Qaeda, and Al Qaeda planned, carried out and rejoiced in 9/11. Hence, Palin's statement is true.

Liberals are insinuating that Palin believes that Saddam Hussein was behind the 9/11 attacks. Of course, Palin said no such thing, and it requires a particularly hell-bent mind to construe her words in such a manner. Liberals have been screaming for years that Iraq is a magnet for terrorists from around the world - including Al Qaeda. Even the NYT belatedly admitted its error (which, of course, nullified its entire smear piece): "But it is widely agreed that militants allied with al-Qaeda have taken root in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion."

So, Palin spoke a universally-held truth, and a liberal media which hates her willfully and disgracefully misrepresented her words. This is just one more example - not the first and not the last. And so much for liberals speaking truth to power. . . .

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
