Notice that Bush and the neocons are not in a hurry to dispel that misconception. Not only do they fail to dispel the notion, they created it. Bush started it in the SOTU address by saying that Saddam was supporting terrorists, including Al Qaeda. Again, last nite in his speech he said that the war in Iraq is central to the war on terrorism. This is not correct. It is central in the war on a despotic dictator Saddam. But for some reason the idea that Saddam is linked to 9-11 and Al Qaeda is kept alive through clever references to the war on Terror and Al Qaeda. It is a campaign of mis-information and co-stated ideas that tricks many people into thinking that this is a war on terrorism, ala 9-11. It's not. It's a war on Saddam. It's a war for control of oil. It's an alternative to Saudi oil, which could become inflamed in it's own civil war at any time. The reasons given for the war have been switched, morphed and hidden from the American people, like the pea in a Shell game. Orca
