And I want to be very careful about how I say this Guest TIA - That was one of your selected quotes but quoted in full and quoted in context - Don't worry I will get round to the others.

Talking about dunderheads Guest TIA count how many times in that passage it is clearly stated that Iraq/Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 911 - Don't tax yourself - there are two

By the way Guest TIA do you know what occaisioned this interview, I hope you do because it takes up the bulk of the text. It related to the possible relationship between Iraq and Al-Qaeda in the light of reports that a senior Iraqi Intelligence Officer and Mohammed Atta met in Prague. Now at any time at all does Cheney say that they did meet?

"We have reporting that places him (Atta) in Prague with a senior Iraqi Intelligence Official a few months before the attack on the World trade Center. The debates about, you know, was he there or wasn't he there, again, it's the intelligence business"

Might come as a bit of a stretch for you non-dunderheads - but what he is saying is that they may have been in Prague at the same time, we do not know if they met. When asked if it is credible that they met he replies very carefully that yes it is credible but it has not been confirmed.

As promised - Quote 2:
"… It's just more of a picture that is emerging that there may well have been contacts between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's regime." (Condoleeza Rice, Sept. 8, 2002) - Courtesy Of Guest TIA.

- "a picture that is emerging" My, my that does sound convincing.
- "that there may well have been contacts" Obviously = there definitely were contacts does it?

Bit of a stretch as I said.
