Chris Dodd Toeing the Party Lie

This is a good (and sensible) read from Back Talk:

Senator Dodd is Not Telling the Truth about al Qaeda in Iraq

Here is what Senator Christopher Dodd said about this last Sunday:

Again, this is a civil war going on in Iraq. This is not the United States versus Al Qaida. It's Shia versus Sunnis tearing each other apart. It's gone on for centuries, but particularly here right now.

Dodd is clearly not being truthful about what he knows. He says "This is not the United States versus Al Qaida," but he surely knows all about this:

Al-Qaida group claims killing of 9 GIs in Iraq
MSNBC News ServicesUpdated: 4:54 p.m. PT April 24, 2007
BAGHDAD - An al-Qaida-linked group posted a Web statement
Tuesday claiming responsibility for a suicide car bombing that killed nine
U.S. paratroopers and wounded 20 in the worst attack on American ground
forces in Iraq in more than a year.

That looks like the United States versus Al Qaeda to me. What does it look
like to you?
