Reply #12: I don't see any other way to interpret those words

FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska, Sept. 11 -- Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans."

If the troops were actually going to defend us from the enemies who planned and carried out those attacks, then our troops would be going to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and maybe Saudi Arabia, but not Iraq.
