Youtube Today: Shameless Republican Exploitation of 9/11 (Again)

Keith Olbermann was demoted from his role as political co-anchor at MSNBC, due to his supposed liberal bias. The straw that broke the camel's back - his reaction to this video, which was played (and broadcast on MSNBC) at last weeks Republican National Convention. If you haven't clicked the link yet, click and watch the video and the reaction. If you still haven't clicked: The video basically claims that Iran has been engaged in a war with the United States for decades, and directly implies that Iran was responsible for 9/11. This is all narrated over shots of Iranian militants intersperced with graphic 9/11 footage.
Choice quotes (emphasis mine):

"The first attack occurred in Iran."

"This enemy, sworn to our destruction, has been at war with us for decades. This we now know."

"It is a war we never chose to fight, and for too long we've looked the other way. But the enemy is wrong; this is a war America will win. We'll have a president who knows how."

I honestly don't know how the RNC gets away with this. How much self-delusion must an intellegent person commit to overlook this and continue to support it and the people behind it? I can even understand people as accepting this coming from far-right talk show hosts, but not from the party itself.

If you can find any redeeming value in that video clip, please comment.
