Orca,
<font color=brown>They've spent months convincing the American people that there was a link between Saddam and al Qaeda. Now, in the interest of honesty, they are being forced to tell the truth and we wonder why the American public is confused. It would all be funny if it weren't for the fact that these are our leaders playing this ridiculous game!! <font color=black>

Bush Says No of Evidence Saddam, 9/11 Link
By TERENCE HUNT, AP
WASHINGTON (Sept. 17) - President Bush said Wednesday there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 - disputing an idea held by many Americans.
"There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al-Qaida ties," the president said. But he also said, "We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the Sept. 11" attacks.
Bush spoke with reporters after speaking with leaders of Congress about energy legislation.
The president's comment on Saddam, the deposed Iraqi leader, was in line with a statement Tuesday by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said he not seen any evidence that Saddam was involved in the attacks.
Yet, a new poll found that nearly 70 percent of respondents believed the Iraqi leader probably was personally involved. Rumsfeld said, "I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that."
