Sort of curious. Why does the President need an air tight case and the VP seems to let go with "there's a connection." Seems that there's a disconnect. Maybe one is simply trying to float a trial balloon to see where it goes. If it works, the administration will use it. If it falls flat, then VP Cheney takes the hit.

Here's the argument. Peach is using her links based on articles, experts, and intelligence leaks as proof that the link between Iraq and Al Qaida exist.

She is saying that the link does exist (based on these things) and she doesn't understand why the President has lost his will to present the case. After all, here is the proof in black and white.

I'm saying that those articles, leaks, and experts aren't enough evidence to base a case on because and this is important for every article, leak, and expert she produces, I could produce articles, leaks, and experts that say the exact opposite.

That the President will need more than this (Peach's) evidence to link the two together. His is going to have to have more "air tight" evidence than the speculation of authors, the leaks of unnamed intelligence sources, and the good ole common sense connection of the evidence that she has presented.

Now, I agree with Peach. I think the evidence is pretty amazing. Where I differ with Peach is that if I were President, I would need more than her collection of links. That's all I'm saying.
