CNN.Com: "Bush slammed for Iraq link to 9/11"! gotta love it!
It was briefly on the Google News front page as well. :)

And in Britain, Lynne Jones, a lawmaker in Prime Minister Tony Blair's ruling Labour Party, said any attempt to suggest that Iraq was a response to the September 11 attacks was "absolute nonsense."

"There is absolutely no connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda," she said.

"What they have ensured, in invading Iraq, is they have actually promoted al Qaeda's involvement in other countries, including Iraq."

British MP George Galloway, who was expelled from Labour over his criticism of the war, said, "The truth is, as everyone can see, that Zarqawi and the other extremist formations that have sprouted in Iraq are the result of the invasion, not the reason for it.

"The swamp of hatred against the West has been vastly deepened by the actions of those two world leaders, Bush and Blair."

4. Because they're stupid and think it's a
great selling point on how strong and resolute ** is. They think the propaganda still works.

6. It was on Yahoo's front page earlier
but I just checked and now in it's place is this headline: Blair Defends Iraq War, Dismisses Memo.
