Bush: No Proof of Saddam Role in 9-11
The Associated Press
Wednesday 17 September 2003
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Wednesday there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 ? disputing an impression that critics say the administration tried to foster to justify the war against Iraq.
"There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al-Qaida ties," the president said. But he also said, "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th."

So you had the CIA, FBI, DIA, along with British, Spanish and French intelligence agencies unanimously agreeing that there was no evidence of a link, yet Bush and Blair said there was no question there were links. Why weren't the press calling them LIARS in huge front page headlines? Instead they turn their lies into headlines that made people think it was true....over and over and over.
