Poll: 70% believe Saddam, 9-11 link
Not fighting the "no connection" lie is what cost us our majority and eventually the White House. Not spending, not borders, not Katrina... Iraq destroyed us in 2006 because we, for some inexplicable reason, refused to answer the left's most important lie about Saddam's longstanding and documented relationship with al Qaeda. In the process, we got a lot of coalition soliders needlessly killed.
That Saddam was responsible for 9/11? No, Sarah Palin never said that, because it isn't true. That would be like saying that Mussolini was "responsible" for the Pearl Harbor attacks.
Politically connected to the attackers (just as one could say that Mussolini was "politically connected" to the Pearl Harbor attacks), yes. But it's not like he actually planned and ordered the attack. Which is why Sarah Palin never said that he did. (And just as Ron Paul has never said that the US Government was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, although his detractors like to lie and say that he did -- just as some of Sarah Palin's detractors apparently like to lie about her).
Didn’t the “intelligence” come back as shaky at best? Or is that just part of the lie? I’ve heard (likely a liberal lie) that it was basically all based on only one source that couldn’t be confirmed by anyone else.
I always thought that this criticism wasn’t one that Bush should have taken on the chin as he famously did with his other detractions.
