What does 911/Iraq connection have to do with us invading Iraq--
Which part of GW's speech before invasion did you miss the failure to comply with resolutions or the axis of evil.
If I'm not mistaken his last words before invasion was giving him one last time to comply--
Those might have been his last words before invasion, but don't act like he didn't try to link 9/11 with Iraq.
Bush on Saddam Nov. 7, 2002:
"He's a threat because he is dealing with al Qaeda. In my Cincinnati speech, I reminded the American people, a true threat facing our country is that an al Qaeda-type network trained and armed by Saddam could attack America and leave not one fingerprint. That is a threat. And we're going to deal with it."
Bush put fear into the American people by drawing connections with al Qaeda and therefore 9/11. Cheney said it over and over and over (oh yeah, but I forgot, he's not part of the executive office so he probably doesn't count...)
And although I generally agree that most Americans are misinformed or don't want to be informed, it is no surprise really that most people believe 9/11 was connected to Iraq, since our government used it as a guise to attack Iraq. Let's see, we were attacked, then we invade Iraq. Most people would see that as a response...
