"You can't distinguish between Al Qaeda and Saddam when you talk about the war on terror," President Bush said on September 25, 2002.

Now what was that he said in the SOU Address in 2002 again:

"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."

Now relate that to the quote provided by Amos - "The pursuit of two great objectives" Al-Qaeda falls under the First objective, Saddam's regime in Iraq falls under the Second objective. So if the US was to pursue two great objectives in its declared war on terror the President is perfectly correct there is no difference.

He is still not saying that Iraq had anything to do with 911.
