I'm not sure it was you, either. I'm not linking clauses. I'm noting what he said to Congress in his justification for invading the next day. I figure everything that was said was there because he thought it a good idea to put it there, including this suggestive clause " terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.”" Put that 'he' in quotes. It was a very short letter! On one subject. Justification of the next day's invasion of Iraq. Well, that's all the fun I can have in this segment. Have to paint the shelves before it gets dark.
