The al quida guys denying it is meaningless. They know that the absense of a link is powerful anti Bush and anti Invasion material.
So we would expect them to deny a link.
The absense of any evidence of a link and the knowledge of that BEFORE the invasion and Bush convincing the vast majority of the US people there was a link is the real issue.

baaaaah ... its all conspiracy agains Bush

"Although the administration pointed to Iraq's medical assistance to al-Zarqawi as evidence of a link between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's regime, it's now believed that al-Zarqawi still has both legs."


LOL

very nice post

The problem with getting good intelligence on these middle eastern countries is that who wants to be a spy where ya can't even drink a martini, shaken, not stirred of course.

9/11 Chair Hamilton Slams Media Distortions

Vice Chairman of the 9/11 Commission Lee Hamilton blasted the mainstream press yesterday for distorting the Commission's findings on links between Iraq and al Qaida, saying those findings actually support Bush administration contentions.

"The sharp differences that the press has drawn [between the White House and the Commission] are not that apparent to me," Hamilton told the Associated Press, a day after insisting that his probe uncovered "all kinds" of connections between Osama bin Laden's terror network and Iraq.

Hamilton's comments followed a deluge of mainstream reports falsely claiming that the 9/11 Commission had discredited the Bush administration's claim of longstanding links between Baghdad and bin Laden.
But the Indiana Democrat said the press accounts were flat-out wrong.

"There are all kinds of ties," he told PBS's "The News Hour" late Wednesday, in comments that establishment journalists have refused to report.

"There are all kinds of connections. And it may very well have been that Osama bin Laden or some of his lieutenants met at some time with Saddam Hussein's lieutenants."

Hamilton said that while his probe had failed to uncover any direct operational link between Baghdad and Osama bin Laden's terror network in attacks on the U.S., there's no question that "they had contacts."

Ahhh, guess it was the press with their heads in the no shine zone.

Dont know what gave you the idea that you have better health care. You have more expensive, less accessable, less effective health care the Canada by any measure.
The occasional east indian going to the states to get a late trimester abortion doesnt give you good health care.

Well after a brief thread Hijack Im surprised this thread is still going..

In regards to Eaglers comments..  You can see the damage control going on in full swing...  Three ring circus is what I call it..

Did you know Russia makes plans to attack our interests just as we make plans to attack theirs..  (war planning is done by every major country in the world) How bout china think they don't have war plans drawn up for us if the crap ever hits the fan in Taiwan..  Of course..  Now given our Axis of Evil sabre rattling what leader in the right mind would not take precautions to ensure their sovereignty or at least be able to retaliate if attacked..  (of course Saddam plotted against us.. That's a given like a triangle having 180 degrees.)

Again the issue is the sexing up (that's catchy Brits) or misleading when saying that Saddam was in bed with Al Dumbarse...  That's the issue here..  Not is Saddam a tyrant..  Not if Saddam wanted to get at Bush Senior for what he considered as betrayal for Gulf War 1..  These are known facts for anyone willing to take the time to research the issue..

No the issue here is saying that saddam had a direct link to 9/11 and was in cahoots with al Dumbarse to carry out such attacks..

Watch in the next few days when even the recent statements of our President are fact checked and rebuffed  ... (not to mention our Vice Presidents comments either..)

That is a weak argument..  I watched with my own eyes what chairman Kean / Hamilton had to say on PBS..  What that was doctored (no pun intended heh) too...  Liberal bias?  What the libs CGI - ed Chairman Kean/Hamilton and used their own voices to boot.. Open you eyes...


Bush did allure that Saddam was at least partly responsible for the 9/11 attacks because I remember seeing him say it with my own eyes during his chest thumping war mongering speeches...

Now the commission clearly said different.  And note Mr. Hamilton's complaints he's right some agencies did blow it out of proportion.. (he trying to maintain integrity of the commission from the talking heads; I dont blame him..) The original AP article I posted did not... (though AKIRON wanted me to take responsibility for some AP writers Title of the article in question.. I thought the title is still accurate to this day..)

I must give you people credit your great at bending and misleading putting words in peoples mouths in other crapola; But your tactics while effective on some of the low intelligence people of America are not effective on me or anyone with half a brain.

Its funny how people take a spymasters word and jailer of the Richest man in Russia (Khodorkovsky - Yukos) over the 9/11 commission..

Using his tactics we should jail every Rockefeller, Heinz, Kennedy, and anyone else who made money during the rise of democracy in any nation of the world..  (this story is a great one because Putin left him alone until his money started going to a alternative political candidate of Putin's..  Then next thing you know tax fraud and mattress label manipulation you name it..  Do your homework on his case even a blind man like you can come to the same conclusion as I that he's getting 8-balled unfairly...)

But yet Putin word is more credible..  

You people keep living in Bizarro world..



2 cents..

PS:  Kerry's a putz too.. but hey his views of re-establishing ties with Europe is a good start IMO as opposed to New Europe Old Europe Rhetoric..

Uh, no, that was never the "issue", except perhaps in the minds of those too rabid to actually listen to or read what has been said.

[Eagler]

please post quotes where bush stated Saddam had a direct hand in 9/11

I remember a speech about a war on terrorism, saddam fit the bill

I just want to know when we are going to move on to the other  members of the axis- times a wasting
