Rove: Dems Didn't Get 9/11 Consequences
"Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to
prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our
attackers," Rove said. "Conservatives saw the
savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war."

Iraq-al Qaeda links weak, say former Bush officials
Three former Bush administration officials who worked on
intelligence and national security issues have told National
Journal that the prewar evidence tying al Qaeda to Iraq was
tenuous, exaggerated, and often at odds with the conclusions of
key intelligence agencies.
http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0803/080803nj2.htm
Split at C.I.A. and F.B.I. On Iraqi Ties to Al Qaeda
"…analysts at the Central Intelligence Agency have
complained that senior administration officials have exaggerated
the significance of some intelligence reports about Iraq,
particularly about its possible links to terrorism, in order to
strengthen their political argument for war, government officials
said."
and…
"At the Federal Bureau of Investigation, some investigators
said they were baffled by the Bush administration's insistence on
a solid link between Iraq and Osama bin Laden|s network.
"We've been looking at this hard for more than a year and you
know what, we just don't think it's there," a government
official said."
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70D1EF8...
This is consistent with what they were saying back in October
2002.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=artic...
"There's absolutely no evidence that Iraq was supporting
al Qaeda, ever."

Iraq-al Qaeda ties have not been found
Bush administration hyped sketchy and false evidence to push for
war
The Bush administration’s claim that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein
had ties to al Qaeda — one of the administration’s central
arguments for a pre-emptive war — appears to have been based on
even less solid intelligence than the administration’s claims
that Iraq had hidden stocks of chemical and biological weapons.
Nearly a year after U.S. and British troops invaded Iraq, no
evidence has turned up to verify allegations of Saddam’s links
with al Qaeda, and several key parts of the administration’s
case have either proved false or seem increasingly doubtful.

bush's own hand-picked Republican weapons hunter ISG, Dr. David
Kay;
David Kay was on the ground for months investigating the
activities of Hussein's regime. He concluded "But we
simply did not find any evidence of extensive links with Al Qaeda,
or for that matter any real links at all."
He called a speech where Cheney made the claim there was a
link, as being "evidence free."
