There was an entire thread dedicated to all of Cheney and Bush's not-so-subliminal conflation of Saddam-9/11-AlQuaeda. For example Cheney's infamous "{...I'm not here to make the specific accusation that Saddam provided safe haven to Al Quaeda...blah, blah}". Find that thread for links to direct quotes that are pretty unmistakable to anyone who is truly objective.
