Just prior to the invasion of Iraq in March of last year, more than two-thirds of the public believed that Iraq was directly involved in the attacks on this country. I don't remember Bush or Cheney doing anything to correct the public of this idea.
He has said thre is no connection. He said it before the war. The interest in going to war was NEVER about any connecition to the attacks of 9/11. The policy of the country was to attack before being attacked. And how many times does he have to say it before he made it clear. He is also the president of the united states! He has a job of meeting a broad agenda of things. If he never says, something why does he have to explain someone else. And even when he has, peopel don't listen. So what is your point... he should go for the 3-4 time to correct the record because you don't want to read the entire paper.

Originally posted by kestra Confronted with the point that the 9/11 Commission's report last week asserts no credible evidence of a "collaborative relationship" between the two, Cheney tries to escape, saying that the 9/11 Commission is wrong, he knows more secret stuff than it does but can't get into specifics.[/B]
First the information you are sighting from last week is from at a staff report and therefore is draft. A draft goes through many changes before it is final. Second, it is not what the draft says or the commisioners have. On Meet the Press just yesterday, commionerss have said that its only in reference to 9/11 attacks. Furthermore, they show in that same draft numberous contacts between OBL, Al-Qeada and Iraq. It makes the conclusion though that the per the commissions mandate (the 9/11 atacks) there was no relationship. Even the commisioners have said they are NOT in conflict with anything the administration has said.

Finally, how can the administration avoid the truth when they keep telling you what you want to hear. He tells you himself, through his surrogates, through his speaches, that there is no connection. What the hell do you want? He's already done what you are talking about.

SIght anything from the adminstration that proves your point. Please.
