Bush's speechwriters parse words closer than any others. csmonitor.com Just Prior to the invasion. <font color=brown>In his prime-time press conference last week, which focused almost solely on Iraq, President Bush mentioned Sept. 11 eight times. He referred to Saddam Hussein many more times than that, often in the same breath with Sept. 11. Bush never pinned blame for the attacks directly on the Iraqi president. Still, the overall effect was to reinforce an impression that persists among much of the American public: that the Iraqi dictator did play a direct role in the attacks. A New York Times/CBS poll this week shows that 45 percent of Americans believe Mr. Hussein was "personally involved" in Sept. 11, about the same figure as a month ago. </font> Through constant repetition of the theme, the figure has risen to 70% who erroniously think Saddam had some kind of connection to 9/11 usatoday.com <font color=blue>Nearly seven in 10 Americans believe it is likely that ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks</font> Bush set sights on Saddam after 9/11, never looked back usatoday.com
