GOP lawmaker: Saddam linked to 9/11
The troops rally behind the Chimp:

"NEW YORK (CNN) -- A Republican congressman from North Carolina told CNN on Wednesday that the "evidence is clear" that Iraq was involved in the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001"

1. I get sick of these fucking liars!
"Told no investigation had ever found evidence to link Saddam and 9/11, Hayes responded, "I'm sorry, but you must have looked in the wrong places.""

:banghead:

4. WTF???
NEW YORK (CNN) -- A Republican congressman from North Carolina told CNN on Wednesday that the "evidence is clear" that Iraq was involved in the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.

"Saddam Hussein and people like him were very much involved in 9/11," Rep. Robin Hayes said.

who are the "people like him"? sounds offensively bigoted to me...

5. Well I'm sure as hell missing something here.... Why is clear?
It's much more clear to me that Cheney would be more responsible for 9/11 than the Iraq's are.

He's clearly on the edge of reality, if not over the edge.

14. Would there have been any opposition to the Iraqi invasion/occupation had
this 9-11 link been conclusively established?

15. This is no different than the nuts who claim the holocost never occured
It's not enough for the media to just say that Hayes is incorrect. They need to paint him as an off-the-wall lunatic.

25. Sorry, LIARS, ain't gonna fly!
Didn't they admit, a LONG TIME AGO, that Saddam was NOT involved in 911. The idiot said it. There's a quote out there somewhere.

26. The Congressman is parroting Bush. We don't need the DSM.
Bush continues to lie everyday. Any one of these lies amounts to treason. There isn't a shred of evidence linking Saddam to the 9-11 attacks. But, there is much evidence linking the Bush administration to them.

28. LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE
Why do they lie? Why do they deceive? Why do they betray our soldiers and the American people?

Because they are greedy, power-mongering assholes who exploit their own people,...that's why.

30. Bullshit. If there was "clear evidence" they'd be screaming it
at every available opportunity.

Perhaps this congressman can explain why when Blair and Bush are asked directly, they admit there's no connection?

Q One question for you both. Do you believe that there is a link between Saddam Hussein, a direct link, and the men who attacked on September the 11th?
THE PRESIDENT: I can't make that claim.
THE PRIME MINISTER: That answers your question.

31. Not all newspeople are following in lockstep w/the WH anymore.
I watched that interview... it was great! She called him on his BS & stated the truth... no connection between Iraq & 9/11.

Someone on another of yesterday's 'news' shows (Anderson Cooper, I think) compared Bush's situation with a dog food company... they produce a new dog food, have a great ad campaign, but fail the real test when they give the dog food to the dog... and the dog won't eat it... now America ain't eating the dog food (or drinking the Kool Aid):evilgrin:.

Not sure just when or how it happened, but it seems like corporate newspeople aren't all WH shills anymore, no longer repeating WH talking points... some even daring to ask challenging questions and speak the truth. Feels like America's blinders might finally be coming off.

Georgie is obviously desperate... reminds me of Nixon when he was being impeached. Can't wait for Georgie to start saying "I AM NOT A LIAR!" :evilgrin: Might we be in the 'last throes' of a failed presidency & on the road to impeachment of Bush & Co :evilgrin:?
