I’m told 43% of respondents to a CNN poll say they still believe Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11. With that in mind, I would like to point them to these two quotes.Friday, June 18 2004:
President Bush yesterday defended his assertions that there was a relationship between Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda, putting him at odds with this week’s finding of the bipartisan Sept. 11 commission.
“The reason I keep insisting that there was a relationship between Iraq and Saddam and al Qaeda: because there was a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda,” Bush said after a Cabinet meeting. As evidence, he cited Iraqi intelligence officers’ meeting with bin Laden in Sudan. “There’s numerous contacts between the two,” Bush said.

The Senate intelligence committee Friday said it had found no evidence that Saddam Hussein had ties to Al-Qaida or provided safe harbor to one of its most notorious operatives, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi — conclusions contradicting claims by the Bush administration before it invaded Iraq.
In a long-awaited report, the committee determined that the former Iraqi dictator was wary of Al-Qaida, repeatedly rebuffed requests from its leader, Osama bin Laden, for assistance and sought to capture Zarqawi when the deadly terrorist turned up in Baghdad.

No need for a grand jury, no need for DNA evidence, no need for a stained dress. Your president lied to you. He has contnuously lied to us and has sent thousands to die for his made-up neo-con bullshit. He, and his vice president, shoud be impeached.
Don’t take my word for it. Read the report yourself (in PDF format).
Damn right.
