President Bush's Loss of Faith?

"In an address that repeatedly invoked Sept. 11 - the day that terrorists who had no discernable connection whatsoever to Iraq attacked targets on American soil - Mr. Bush offered a new reason for staying the course: to keep faith with the men and women who have already died in the war."
In this editorial from the New York Times which should be called the Tehran Times, the writer says that more soldiers should not die just because others have died. What kind of messed up person is this writer? The point is not that "because they died you should too", the point is that because these people believed in this so much that they made the ultimate sacrifice we should realize just how important it is to them that we finish the job.
Secondly Iraq had ties to Al-Qaeda, the terror network who knocked down the Twin Towers, punched a hole in the Pentagon and were foiled from their next target only by the intervention of American passengers. Saddam Hussein gave both monetary support and space for terrorist training camps in Iraq to Al-Qaeda.
Later in the piece the author says: "Most Americans believed that their country had invaded Iraq to eliminate weapons of mass destruction, but we know now that those weapons did not exist. If we had all known then what we know now, the invasion would have been stopped by a popular outcry, no matter what other motives the president and his advisers may have had." I would like to know where this man gets his info, if I remember rightly we have found dozens of weapons of mass destruction, including Saddam Hussein and his sons Uday and Qusay, a terrorist is a weapon of mass destruction, or have we forgotten that day in 2001 when four jet planes were hijacked and 3000 people died? And secondly we have found evidence of nuclear weapons labs all over Iraq along with labs for creating chemical and biological weapons! Thirdly, we haven't found the weapons of mass destruction yet, Saddam had 12 years to hide whatever he made in case we ever got interested in him again. I'm guessing that Saddam moved his weapons out of Iraq before we got there so that the left would have missiles (pun intended) to shoot at the Bush Administration, I wouldn't be surprised if Syria is now sitting on these weapons while the left gripes about "there are no WMDs."
Lastly the American people re-elected this president in the biggest voter turnout in American History! If they were so upset with his policies why didn't they kick him out of office? As soon as this writer can answer that question I'll move on to the next one, which is: "Why do you hate America?" And yes in case you were wondering, I am questioning your patriotism and your sanity.
