Thursday, June 17, 2004
WASHINGTON President Bush repeated his assertions Thursday that Saddam Hussein (search) and Al Qaeda (search) had a relationship before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The president added that he did not infer that the two had a "collaborative relationship" on the attacks, a conclusion rejected by the commission investigating the intelligence failures that prevented the United States from warding off the attacks.
"There was a relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda," Bush insisted to reporters following a meeting with his Cabinet at the White House.

______________________________________________________________
Counterattack against the media underway??????
see above link about Cheney.
Bill O'Reilly's opening segment covered the outrageous and misleading headlines. Pretty good.
Thanks for the ping. I haven't read it yet, but the headline sounds promising.
BTW, just saw Jim Thompson from the 9/11 commission on O'Reilly. He forcefully said he has heard what President Bush and VP Cheney have said. Thompson said "They are right, the headlines we saw today are WRONG".
I hope some are waking up and smelling the coffee. The propagandists were given an inch and they're trying to take the mile. Hopefully this will be dealt with--forcefully.
OK--I'll go read that article.
Cheney seems to have been Hot about the NY Times. Maybe we are starting to see the Administration getting serious about the Media's distortions and malicious lies!.
Yup. If it's not refuted, people begin to believe it's true.
