On another piece of evidence for the Iraq war, was there any mention of Iraq in the Congressional report on 9/11? I know there are 28 missing pages, apparently dealing with Saudi Arabia, but any evidence on the purported Iraqi involvement? ws

<font size=4>But as Baghdad erupted in celebrations after receiving the news that Heckle and Jeckle were dead, liberals were still hopping mad that last January, President Bush uttered the indisputably true fact that British intelligence believed Saddam Hussein had tried to acquire uranium from Africa. That was, and still is, believed by British intelligence. It also was, and still is, believed by our own National Intelligence Estimate service. The CIA, however, discounts this piece of intelligence. The CIA did such a bang-up job predicting 9-11, the Democrats have decided to put all their faith in it. They believe the nation must not act until absolutely every agency and every last American is convinced we are about to be nuked. (Would that they had such strict standards for worrying about nuclear power plants at home.) The Democrats already explained their extremely exacting standard for responding to potential nuclear threats back before we went to war with Iraq – and Bill Clinton successfully ignored the threat of a nuclear-capable North Korea. But most of the Democrats who are bellyaching now didn't have the courage to vote their so-called "consciences" in Congress last October. Now that we've won, they have managed to produce fresh indignation about a war they only briefly pretended to support.
