President George W Bush has swung American popular opinion firmly behind him by linking the threat from Iraq to September 11.

George W Bush: said Saddam was preparing to attack the US
In a speech in Cincinnati on Monday night, Mr Bush said Saddam Hussein was linked with Osama bin Laden. "We know that Iraq and the al-Qa'eda terrorist network share a common enemy: the United States of America," he said.

"We know that Iraq and al-Qa'eda have had high-level contacts that go back a decade. Some al-Qa'eda leaders who fled Afghanistan went to Iraq. These include one very senior al-Qa'eda leader who received medical treatment in Baghdad this year and who has been associated with planning for chemical and biological attacks.

"We have learned that Iraq has trained al-Qa'eda members in bomb making and poisons and deadly gases. And we know that after September 11, Saddam Hussein's regime gleefully celebrated the terrorist attacks on America."

6. Here's one from Cheney

In 2001, Dick Cheney said it was “confirmed that (Mohammed Atta) did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the (Sept. 11) attack."

Eight days later, the Pentagon awarded Halliburton its most lucrative contract in history....

Then, in 2004, Cheney was forced to say: "I have not suggested there's a connection between Iraq and 9/11."

This is from TODAY!

"We went to war because we were attacked, and we are at war today because there are still people out there who want to harm our country and hurt our citizens,"
