John Cornyn Is Crazy: 2006 Edition

This is from a two-month-old Congressional Quarterly article:
John Cornyn, R-Texas, said it was “shameful” for Democrats to use the war in Iraq for political gain. Criticizing earlier Democratic calls to begin withdrawing troops, he said a premature withdrawal would lead to Sept. 11-style attacks “over and over and over again.”
I hope what he means here is that Iraq is now a hotbed for al-Qaeda, and we can't let them sustain a foothold. Do you think, maybe, he means that we'd be facing massive terrorist attacks if only we hadn't finally disarmed noted US attacker Saddam Hussein? John Cornyn is such an all-star that I'm never sure when to credit him for having logical skills. I know I've made fun of John Cornyn before, but this takes the cake, right?
