Some idiot asked about 9-11 and the connect to Iraq then the Iraq invasion. Bush is giving the politically correct answer but damn just once I'd like to hear him state that there WERE connections between Saddam and Al-Queda. Then list them.

This is a great mystery and one I'd love to have answered. I do NOT get it.

The question was a connection between 9/11 and Iraq .. not between Saddam and Al-Queda

That is why he didn't go down that road

The media would claim the President said there was a connection if he asnwered the question like that

The Administration has been, as Brit Hume pointed out afterwards on Fox News, NOT to claim any direct connection between Iraq and 9/11. Democrats, detractors, and reporters (overlapping groups) have made that false charge. The Administration HAS stated and established direct connections between Saddam and Al Qaeda, which is a different question.

We need to be careful, as the Adminsration has been, in separating those two issues.
