WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush was informed 10 days after the September 11, 2001 attacks that US intelligence had no proof of links between Iraq and that act of terror, The National Journal reported.

Citing government documents as well as past and present Bush administration officials, the magazine said the president was briefed on September 21, 2001 that evidence of cooperation between Iraq and the Al-Qaeda terror network was insufficient.

Little additional evidence has emerged over the past four years that could contradict the CIA conclusion about a lack of a collaborative relationship between Al-Qaeda and Iraq, the Journal quotes a high-level government official as saying.


The magazine believes the evidence raises yet more questions about the administration's use of intelligence in the run-up to the war in Iraq.

Fantastic!!

that we are in Iraq because of 911 or terrorism anymore I am going to scream! Its for the oil just say it Bush. We went to Iraq for the oil.

of those 65% who believed the connection while putting their ribbons on their cars and trashing all those who disagreed with them as traitors. The info was out there before we invaded Iraq that the spin was on, but it was easier to believe what FOX and their ilk were propagandizing. IMO, there's no excuse for not being informed when it just takes a little curiosity and investigation to find the truth-especially when it comes to sending our troops into battle.

Once again the mediawhores tell us something that we already KNEW years ago.

Damn them.

making up his mind, and sticking to it, regardless of facts or arguments.

Concrete Ideation - a mental illness by any other name.

It purports to show a link between Saddam and AL Queda. I know it's from 9-03. I know it's written by a right-wing nutjob. I need some help refuting it. Thanks in advance.

The blood is in the water folks. The media knew this 2 years ago, or more. But, these guys are chum to the sharks right now. Payback is hell. "Limit my access, will ya?"
The Professor

they didn't claim Iraq/Al-Qaeda ties.
They claiked and proved Iraw/Terrorist ties.

If you want to argue anything on this be careful, cause
it's purported to be a part of the war against terrorists, which
doesn't automaticly mean Al-Qaeda.

Can't wait to see what happens!
