Here's a "noticeable lapse" for you . . .

If there was a such a clear connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, then why is this coming to light in an uncontested civil trial while this administration has repeatedly denied that such a connection exists?

I'll be perfectly willing to accept the notion that this connection exists. But if you go through the events of the last 15 years, you'll understand why nobody in either political party would ever want to admit it.

The administration does not deny that such a connection exists but says there has been no proof. I think there is adequate proof and can only assume there are reasons why they phrase their responses that way.
