Ah, so one of your quotes was from 8 September 2002--very clever.

But

1) Your 8 September 2002 citation by Cheney disassociating Saddam and 11 September 2001 is not in fact a quote from 8 September 2002. What you quote is that they both watched a clip from 2001. You say nothing that was actually said in 2002.

2) For some reason you have neglected to tell us what was said after Cheney and Russert watched the clip (FROM 2001). I suspect Russert pointed out that Cheney had changed his tune since that clip.

Very slick.

But you still have no quote FROM THE PERIOD MID 2002 TO THE INVASION (a clip from 2001 doesn't cut it)--to disassociate Saddam and 11 September 2001.

Once more--the propaganda campaign to confuse Saddam, 11 September 2001, and al Queda in the minds of the US public took place in the period mid-2002 to the invasion--its purpose was to prepare the public for the invasion.
