Re: "Somewhere around September 14" Actually, I think the available evidence is pretty clear that --- from the get-go --- the new administration wanted to find Saddam's thumbprint behind every dastardly action or problem that they possibly could... and to the EXCLUSION of every other possibility. They didn't want to HEAR anything else. They rejected evidence that pointed to the hand of al Qaeda in the first WTC bombing. (Bush & especially Cheney and Rumsfeld did not, to use the words of Bush to Ms. Rice, want to "swat flies"... no, they DID NOT want to believe that some scruffy band of non-state actors were behind WTC I, the Cole or African Embassy bombings. They wanted a NATION to be behind all this: preferably Saddam's Iraq.) (And, no, they really didn't want to hear anything about other nations... such as Pakistan or Saudi Arabia either. That would be too conflicted.) Of course, this all stands to reason. It's just HUMAN NATURE that Bush II wanted Saddam to be behind all these things. After all, Saddam ordered a 'hit' on the first President Bush (after Bush I first authorized the CIA to kill Saddam after Desert Storm. :-) And, Bush II's FIRST TWO companies received MAJOR investments from the bin Laden family (from his brother....) Without that capital it's doubtful Bush would have ever been in the position to invest in the Texas Rangers... or turn that investment into $10 mil., or become President. Funny how these things work. Of course... it's just HUMAN NATURE to not want to receive unpleasant news. So, I understand why he wouldn't want to think that a brother of his former investment partner was behind the attacks on America, and the murder of Americans. (That just couldn't play well politically were it widely known, even though Bush had done nothing wrong in accepting Arab investments.) Of course, life would be so much easier if it turned out that Saddam was the wolf in the flock....
