"Horsepucky, yourself TIA, the quotes you gave me related to links between Saddam/Iraq and Al-Qaeda, not Saddam/Iraq and the Al-Qaeda attacks of 11th September 2001. The latter was what Ron Davies inferred and what I disputed."

Already posted this one up thread. Didja miss it somehow?

GWB May 1, 2003, speech aboard the Lincoln (under the banner – remember?):

"The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on Sept. 11, 2001. With that attack, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got".

And CarolC posted this one:

"Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained"

Musta missed that too.

Ron Davies has this one nailed - I'm afraid that for you it just seems too late to back down from an untenable position.
