OK Ron, being really pathetic, let's have a little challenge.

Between 11th September, 2001 and 20th March, 2003.

I will list all reported instances in which the President, Vice-President and members of the Bush Administration categorically said that Saddam Hussein/Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks that occurred on 11th September, 2001.

You on the other hand will list all reported instances in which the President, Vice-President and members of the Bush Administration categorically said that Saddam Hussein/Iraq did have something to do with those attacks.

Now I will have no trouble at all doing that - you on the other hand will. You will come back with your usual load of drivel, in which I am sure you truly believe, because that happens to be the spin put on it by whoever it was who wrote the report of the speech that you read. If I hear that someone makes a definite statement with regard to something, that is what I will take as being fact from their perspective.

For how and where the two become linked (i.e. threat to the US, US interests and allies. 911 and Iraq - we have been attacked, this is the threat of a possible similar attack in the future with much graver consequences) read the published texts of the 2002 and 2003 State of the Union speeches.

Bush did not identify Saddam Hussein and Iraq as the greatest potential threat to the USA, that was the conclusion of others (Not PNAC).
