Iraq/Al Quada Links
While there's no known direct links between Saddam and the 9/11 attacks, President Bush said today that there were definite links between Saddam and the 9/11 terrorists.
"We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the Sept. 11" attacks, Bush said at the start of a meeting with congressional lawmakers discussing new energy legislation. But, he added, "There's no question that Saddam Hussein had Al Qaeda ties."
Buh-duh. And there's more evidence being found of just how strong those links were.
Cheney said he recalled being asked about an Iraq connection to Sept. 11 shortly after the attacks, and responded that the time that he knew of no evidence at that point.
"Subsequent to that, we have learned a couple of things," he said.
"We learned more and more that there was a relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the '90s; that it involved training, for example, on [biological warfare] and [chemical warfare]; that Al Qaeda sent personnel to Baghdad to get trained on the systems, and involved the Iraqis providing bomb-making expertise and advice to the Al Qaeda organization."
Ain't but one way to break an egg-sucking dog.
Shoot him in the head.
