....LMB: "Yet Another Non-Admission Admission"....

I'm just gonna outright steal this from Busy Busy Busy
Yes, check the caption.
JOHN KING (CNN): Mr. President, Dr. Rice and Secretary Rumsfeld both said yesterday that they have seen no evidence that Iraq had anything to do with September 11th. Yet, on Meet the Press, Sunday, the Vice President said Iraq was a geographic base for the terrorists and he also said, I don't know, or we don't know, when asked if there was any involvement. Your critics say that this is some effort -- deliberate effort to blur the line and confuse people. How would you answer that?THE PRESIDENT: We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the September 11th. What the Vice President said was, is that he has been involved with al Qaeda. And al Zarqawi, al Qaeda operative, was in Baghdad. He's the guy that ordered the killing of a U.S. diplomat. He's a man who is still running loose, involved with the poisons network, involved with Ansar al-Islam. There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al Qaeda ties.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, after over a year of intentionally smearing the facts about Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda and 9/11 into a reach creamy broth of public confusion, a reporter dares to ask him to his face about it. And he admits that there's no connection between Saddam and 9/11.
And then he lies again about Saddam being in cahoots with Al Qaeda. My understanding is that this al Zarqawi guy that Bush mentions is indeed an Al Qaeda operative, and he was in Baghdad in 2001, at a hospital, having an operation. By that logic, any of you who have ever been to a hospital are in cahoots with the government of the country in which that hospital operated. This article actually claims a much more direct link between al Zarqawi and the government of Qatar, but you don't see us bombing them.
Sigh. Two steps forward, two steps back.
I am so tired of this bullshit. Lies lies lies lies lies. We've got a recall election in California, why can't we have one in Washington? You KNOW that even Gary Coleman would make a better president than this sociopath.

Just for posterity, let's include this link of quotes of Bush & the gang trying to link Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
