State of the Union Address 2002:

"Our nation will continue to be steadfast and patient and persistent in the pursuit of two great objectives. First, we will shut down terrorist camps, disrupt terrorist plans, and bring terrorists to justice. And, second, we must prevent the terrorists and regimes who SEEK chemical, biological or nuclear weapons from threatening the United States and the world."

That is a clear enough statement Amos and yes it does link the war on terror to any terrorist group or regime that would support them in threatening the United States and the world with WMD in a similar attack to the one that occurred on the 11th September, 2001.

What it DOES NOT DAMN WELL DO is infer that there was a link between Al-Qaeda and Iraq or infer that Saddam Hussein had anything to do with 911.

Use your intelligence Sir.
