It appears so, that Bush has once again distorted fact to suit his intent and influence those disposed to be influenced by loose and fast evidence. As you and the rest of the liberals on earth routinely do, you have once again jumped to conclusions. The facts are starting to dribble out, and just as you all looked like total idiots when you went off half-cocked about the unilateralism that never materialized, you will look further like total idiots as the facts come out on Saddam's weapons and Al Queda involvement. newsday.com Behind closed House chamber doors, Powell, Rumsfeld and McLaughlin told lawmakers that Iraq has been a training ground for terrorists, including al-Qaida and its operatives. "They gave the names of al-Qaida operatives and operatives of other groups tied to al-Qaida that go to Baghdad, that train in Baghdad,” said one lawmaker who attended the briefing. "It's not Hussein supplying weapons. It's Hussein supplying the training.” The officials offered no evidence of ties between Hussein and the Sept. 11 attacks. But they did link operatives in Iraq to the October death of Lawrence Foley, 60, a senior U.S. diplomat who was gunned down outside his home in Jordan. Two suspected al-Qaida members -- a Libyan and a Jordanian -- were charged with his murder. Powell and Rumsfeld also provided more information as to why they believe that aluminum tubes purchased by Iraq were for enrichment of uranium rather than conventional rockets -- a judgment that has been called into question by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei.
