JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE
No proven link between Saddam, 9/11, says Bush

From the Houston Chronicle:

President Bush said Wednesday there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 -- disputing an impression that critics say the administration tried to foster to justify the war against Iraq.

"There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al-Qaida ties," the president said. But he also said, "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th."

The president's comment was the administration's firmest assertion that there is no proven link between Saddam and Sept. 11. It came after Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday clouded the issue by saying, "It's not surprising people make that connection" between Saddam and the attacks.

Cheney, on NBC's Meet the Press, also repeated an allegation -- doubted by many in the intelligence community -- that Mohamed Atta, the lead Sept. 11 attacker, met with a senior Iraqi intelligence official in Prague five months before Sept. 11.

"We've never been able to develop any more of that yet, either in terms of confirming it or discrediting it," Cheney said Sunday.

And

Rice said, "We have never claimed that Saddam Hussein had either direction or control of 9/11."

Bush said there was no attempt by the administration to try to confuse people about any link between Saddam and Sept. 11.

Then why the hell do so many people think that Hussein was involved with 9/11? And why does the White House keep pushing this bogus al-Qaeda connection that was dismissed by the recently released Congressional intelligence investigation findings? Oh, those forked-tongued bastards!
