So much for the kindness, courtesy and respect that your superior intellect affords you.

I have cited four things.

Bush's statement that he could not say there was a connection.

The results of the polls.

Your own statement that he did not say there was a connection.

Reports from other sources that there was a connection.

Your evidence consists of you own translation of what was said. Your reading between the lines.

Plus you refuse to answer the hard questions. You just continue to discredit me in an effort to prove your assertion.

If your assertion was so credible, it would not have to be accompanied by your personal attacks on me.

You refuse to answer the question about the statement that you claim undercuts and disqualifies my example that you claimed did not exist. If that statement by Blair was erroneous. Please state directly if that it was an impossible scenario and therefore erroneous.

Someone of superior intellect could answer that in a heartbeat so I know you can.

And while you are demonstrating your superior intellect, Tell me why the number of people convinced that there was a connection decreased during the time of your alleged propaganda campaign.

Now you are backing out of your assertion of a propaganda campaign draw links between 11 Sept 2001 and Saddam because you have not been able to support it except with personal insults and your claim of superior intellect.

Date: 28 Jan 07 - 02:46 PM "I said, the Bush regime's goal was not to allege that Saddam caused the 11 Sept 2001 attacks"

You are shifting your assertion to there was a propaganda campaign "to convince the US public that Saddam would link up with the next attackers--and would supply them with WMD.",

And you claim that I "have provided precisely zero evidence that the Bush regime did not do this"

Well of course I haven't because you never requested it before.

Before we go down this alternate garden path of yours you need to first to confirm that you believe that it was totally impossible for Saddam to so, that Bush knew that it was impossible and that to draw possible scenarios like this ansd prepare for them is not the duty of the government.

I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that an intellectually superior person can state what they believe without hesitation so please demonstrate this ability.

And no, I am not an easily lead sheep. Therefore I am able to disagree with your shifting assertions, constant backpeddaling and ever changing requirements.
