Bush Says Iraq Posed Threat Because of Terror Link

[cal04]

just how many lies can this guy come up with? Incredible

President George W. Bush said ``numerous contacts'' between Iraq and the al-Qaeda terrorist network justified the U.S.-led war on Saddam Hussein's regime.

``There was a relationship between Iraq and Saddam and al- Qaeda,'' Bush told reporters after meeting with his Cabinet at the White House. ``This administration never said that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated between Saddam and al-Qaeda. We did say there were numerous contacts between Saddam and al-Qaeda.''

A panel investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks reported yesterday that meetings or contacts between the former Iraqi dictator and al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden didn't lead to a collaborative relationship. There's ``no credible evidence that Iraq and al-Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States,'' the panel said.

``Saddam Hussein was a threat,'' Bush said when asked about the report. ``He was a threat because he had used weapons of mass destruction against his own people. He was a threat because he was a sworn enemy of the United States of America, just like al- Qaeda. He was a threat because he had terrorist connections.''

1. Don't these ravings

rank under the heading of "dilusional"?

3. probably, but it also falls into some German guy's "big lie" theory --

repeat it often enough, and it gets believed.

2. Bush is a Satanic wad of diseased excrement

The bastard is as likely to bring about the end of the world as any madman who ever sat on a throne. He is a moral disgrace, a filthy two-dollar 'ho, and a drug-addled psychotic who should be removed from power and tried by an international tribunal for his crimes.

4. Hey dufus, why did 71% of people believe Saddam = 9/11?

[Mountainman]

5. He wasn't any threat to the US!

If he was so damned dangerous why didn't they just take him like Noriega? Why did it need a war to do that?

Because just like 9/11, Saddam being a threat is a made up reason to go to war that was premeditated.
