"...Nobody Has Ever Suggested In This Administration That Saddam Hussein Ordered The [9/11] Attack..."
Or
President Pants on Fire Thinks You Are Very, Very Stupid
I've been continuing to ignore politics since my return...but then I saw an exerpt from Monday's Presidential press conference...roughly the following:
The President: ...The terrorists attacked us and killed 3,000 of our citizens before we started the freedom agenda in the Middle East.
Q: What did Iraq have to do with that?
THE PRESIDENT: What did Iraq have to do with what?
Q The attack on the World Trade Center?
THE PRESIDENT: Nothing, except for it's part of -- and nobody has ever suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack. Iraq was a -- the lesson of September the 11th is, take threats before they fully materialize, Ken. Nobody has ever suggested that the attacks of September the 11th were ordered by Iraq...
I was watching this with two apolitical friends of mine--friends who complain within a few minutes if anyone brings up the subject of politics. Very smart folks, but they just don't share my passion for the stuff. They've rarely expressed any political views around me at all. But when this came on both of their jaws actually, literally dropped. Which made three jaws total, mine included.
Mr. Bush apparently thinks that we are all idiots, or that our memories do not extend more than four years into the past.
The fact that there is not more of an outcry about this astounding statement shows how far into the looking glass we've fallen.

B-b-but Winston, of course nobody in the administration ever SUGGESTED such a connection.

It just goes to show how much concern(?) President Bush have on his people. He is willing to go to war in Iraq even though there is no indication of them behind the attacks on the WTC. Then when the WMD failed to show up he merely shrugs it off as an action toward the threat before it happens. Nice job bush! How about bombing the hell out of North Korea and Iran?
