Is this Necessary?
I don't understand why this has to be continuously repeated. The 9/11 commission, the Senate Intelligence committee, and President Bush have all said that Saddam had nothing to do with the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The only people who continue to believe that Saddam is tied to 9/11 are VP Cheney and Laurie Mylroie. I wish the press and the general public could finally put this one to bed.
The Saddam-9/11 conspiracy talks distract from the larger issue of combatting al-Qaeda and not screwing up Iraq too badly (I won't say "get Iraq right," since I think the Bush Administration has so screwed it up to this point that I don't think anyone is still hoping for a flourishing pro-western democracy with a strong market economy in that country).
