Joke of the Day

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell said last night that the lack of a second terrorist attack on the United States since Sept. 11, 2001, proves that President Bush was right to invade Iraq.

"If you remember, the prediction at the time was that we would be attacked again, and soon," McConnell told a gathering of active duty and retired military personnel at the annual Armed Forces Dinner in Louisville. "Well, that hasn't happened yet."

"Pre-emption, after 9/11, makes a lot of sense," McConnell said in a speech sponsored by the Louisville Armed Forces Committee, a group formed in 1919 to show support for returning veterans of World War I.
