When bush admitted 9/11 Iraq not Connected, need link help

I remember this but didn't save it.
Does anybody have this bookmarked?
Would be very helpful regarding certain delusional bush supporters
that use this to justify the torture going on there now.

3. More importantly, it would be very helpfull to have threads or links...

...showing where by whom the idea started that Saddam and 9-11 were connected. If not from the Bush White House, then it certainly came from Bush operatives.

4. Here's one

From a joint press conference with Tony Blair before the war.

Q One question for you both. Do you believe that there is a link between Saddam Hussein, a direct link, and the men who attacked on September the 11th?

THE PRESIDENT: I can't make that claim.

6. Interesting. "I can't make that claim." has nothing to do with...

the question asked.

As usual, he didn't answer the question. Obviously, he was desperate to believe that there was a link, whether he could claim that there was one or not.

The answer to the question was, of course, yes.
