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 :-)

Again...without going down the same path we went down yesterday...

He could mention the indictments in 1998 in federal court which link OBL with Saddam.

An indictment is not proof...

He could mention the dozen or so international AQ terrorists who have sought sanctuary in Iraq.

This has been done ad naseum. Colin Powell also did it when he produced his evidence at the UN.

He could mention (and I don't think he did today) that he has NEVER said that Iraq was responsible for 9/11.

Again, he has...over and over again.

95% of America, will believe the 9/11 Commission

I don't know where you got the figure, but I wouldn't agree with that...

It's with the fact that the Republican party has never defended itself appropriately, imo.

You will get no disagreement from me on that...

But maybe I should cut back on the criticism a little

I would never suggest that... but, in my opinion only, you are presenting your case as if Bush isn't doing saying at all... that's just not true.
