"Imagine those 19 hijackers with other weapons and other plans -- this time armed by Saddam Hussein..."

The key word here is 'imagine'.

He may not have directly linked Saddam with 911 (he left that up to the imagination of the world). When preceded by, "But chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained," he not only linked the idea of Saddam to 911 (terrorists) but indicated that Saddam had WMD's.

A person in such a position of power and authority with a bevy of consultants, should speak and act responsibly. Not only are those statements irresponsible, they are intended to mislead the public.

Are you defending Bush on the basis of 'faulty intelligence' or are you just plain ignorant when it comes to propaganda? Do you actually condone misleading Congress and the American public?
