Orca,

<font color=brown>They've spent months convincing the American people that there was a link between Saddam and al Qaeda. Now, in the interest of honesty, they are being forced to tell the truth and we wonder why the American public is confused. It would all be funny if it weren't for the fact that these are our leaders playing this ridiculous game!! <font color=black>

Bush Says No of Evidence Saddam, 9/11 Link
By TERENCE HUNT, AP



WASHINGTON (Sept. 17) - President Bush said Wednesday there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 - disputing an idea held by many Americans.

"There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al-Qaida ties," the president said. But he also said, "We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the Sept. 11" attacks.


Bush spoke with reporters after speaking with leaders of Congress about energy legislation.

The president's comment on Saddam, the deposed Iraqi leader, was in line with a statement Tuesday by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said he not seen any evidence that Saddam was involved in the attacks.

Yet, a new poll found that nearly 70 percent of respondents believed the Iraqi leader probably was personally involved. Rumsfeld said, "I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that."

Wesley throws his hat into the ring
I noticed today that Gen. Wesley Clark finally decided that he was going to run for President. While I know that Bill Clinton says that he is one of the two rising stars in the Democratic party (the other being his own darling wife), I can't help but think that Clark is nothing more than roadkill in waiting.

Of course, I know that he is great "concept" candidate. Moderate Southerner, liberal on social issues, a retired General and NATO Supreme Commander, former Rhodes Scholar, first in his class at West Point... and from Arkansas! What more could Paul Begala ask for?!

But am I the only one who looks at Clark on television and says, General or no General, that he looks like a wimp? <font color=orange>Tonight on Fox's Special Report, Brit Hume aired some file footage of Clark emerging from a television studio in DC, after having appeared on one of the Sunday morning political talk shows. Met by a camera crew and reporter doing pool coverage, he is asked whether he will agree to answer a few questions. Clark says something like "I'm not sure" and asks to borrow the reporter's cell phone. Calling someone named "Gail", he asks whether or not he can answer press questions. Hearing her response in the negative, he returns the phone to the reporter and apologetically says that he can't talk.
