From the link: "Dana Milbank reported that 'Vice President Cheney . . . in an interview this month with the Rocky Mountain News, recommended as the 'best source of information' an article in The Weekly Standard magazine detailing a relationship between Hussein and al Qaeda based on leaked classified information.'" This is all well and good, but my beef is that Cheney is refering to an article in the Weekly Standard, rather than to a formal report of the Administration. Again, I hope they come out before too long with a decisive official report giving confirmed evidence of this connection. I'm not one to question Bush's strategery, but my sense is that they're taking an unnecessary pounding from the media, the anti-war left, the Democrats, and the late night comedians over the lack of WMDs and the question of Saddam's ties to al-Qaeda; the Adm. is the one who should be doing the pounding.
I think the extensive links between Al Qaeda and Iraq will be advertised in the last week of the campaign, IMHO.
The Dems would scream bloody murder if this came out in the last week of the campaign, but I don't really care. All I want is for the report to come out before the election, and for it to be so conclusive that it shows the Al Frankens, Michael Moores, John Kerrys, and the rest to be the craven and lying fools they truly are.
Again, thanks for the link. I think we can put it this way: The evidence for the link between Saddam and al-Qaeda is available for anyone who is interested in finding it. The left/Dems/media are not so interested.
