Secret Memo: Rethug Despicable Strategy

So, they want to exploit 9/11 again, eh?

Ooo.k! Let's talk about 9/11 and while we are at it, let's talk about the anthrax attacks!

Think Progress � EXCLUSIVE: Majority Leader Boehner�s Confidential Strategy Memo For Thursday�s Iraq Debate:

"On Thursday, the House of Representatives will hold a debate on the Iraq war. Media reports say Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) 'hopes to match the serious, dignified tone of deliberation that preceded the Gulf war, in 1991.'
ThinkProgress has obtained a 'Confidential Messaging Memo' from Boehner instructing his caucus to conduct a very different kind of deliberation. Here's a quick summary:

1. Exploit 9/11. The two page memo mentions 9/11 seven times. It describes debating Iraq in the context of 9/11 as 'imperative.'

2. Attack opponents ad hominem. The memo describes those who opposes President Bush's policies in Iraq as 'sheepish,' 'weak,' and 'prone to waver endlessly.'

3. Create a false choice. The memo says the decision is between supporting President Bush's policies and hoping terrorist threats will 'fade away on their own.' "
