Please don't think I'm following you around 'cause I'm not...but I really don't understand your "about time is right..."
This isn't the first time this week that the President has said this.
This isn't the first time this month...and it is not the first time this year.
When I read your post (and I might be wrong) you act as if this is the first time the President has mentioned the link. This is not correct.
No problem, carton. Some people believe as you do.
I have heard the president mention this a few times. But it's always a one or two sentence answer. He could give a more full answer.
He could mention the indictments in 1998 in federal court which link OBL with Saddam.
He could mention the dozen or so international AQ terrorists who have sought sanctuary in Iraq.
He could mention (and I don't think he did today) that he has NEVER said that Iraq was responsible for 9/11.
Those who don't pay attention to these things, except the major headlines, which accounts for 95% of America, will believe the 9/11 Commission and other lefties when they say that BUsh lied when he told us Iraq was behind 9/11. That's a pretty unfortunate talking point to let the malignant leftists own.
And my frustration isn't just with the president. It's with the fact that the Republican party has never defended itself appropriately, imo.
But maybe I should cut back on the criticism a little :-)
