LOL -- neocon is my name and helping Bush spread misinformation is my game. 40% of the American public believe that Saddam had some role in 9/11. Bush never hesitated to bring up 9/11, Iraq and al Qaeda in the same paragraph. The linking was always done very carefully -- at the level of an implied relationship. No need to say there was one because that would be factually incorrect -- just keep repeating Saddam, threat, 9/11 and al Qaida in the same breath often enough and you will eventually confuse nearly half the US population into thinking that Saddam was working with al Qaeda and may have had a hand in 9/11. But the "links" to al Qaeda do NOT point towards the existence of a cooperative working relationship -- although it is likely that al Qaeda has achieved some form or other of working relationship with regimes other than Iraq in the past -- but don't let that stop the spread of innuendo. Bush was so effective at spreading innuendo that the news media actually forgot to notice that there was no link and technically Bush never said so precisely -- ah, but that beautiful ability to stretch the truth without getting caught, now that is "leadership".
