And as was just mentioned, the Bush administration never said that Saddam was directly responsible for 9/11. The media has continually made this leap...just as they did the "immenent" threat, which Bush never said. While WMDs may have been the main impotence for war in Iraq, there were several other reasons, including those countries that harbor and finance terrorism. For that alone, Saddam was quilty.

Umm. "Impetus?"

I remember Dan Rather talking about Iraq being in bed with terrorists on Letterman's first show back.

It is available on the CBS website under the Late Show. Quite interesting to listen to his honest reaction before he was told what the official CBS propaganda line was.

Regardless, to not even discuss an Iraq contigency would have been irresponsible.
