Someone posted the IWR. It has the closest statement that 9/11 and Saddam were connected. Turns out he was doing a switcheroo. Here's an article that explains it. http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0314/p02s01-woiq.htm

How they determined this.
I don't think Bush ever said it directly, like in one sentence, but when you give speeches that basically go:
9/11 Terrorism Saddam Hussein 9/11 Terrorism Saddam Hussein 9/11 Terrorism Saddam Hussein 9/11 Terrorism Saddam Hussein
People tend to "connect the dots"

Presidential Letter Text of a Letter from the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate
March 18, 2003
Dear Mr. Speaker: ( Dear Mr. President: )
Consistent with section 3(b) of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), and based on information available to me, including that in the enclosed document, I determine that:
(1) reliance by the United States on further diplomatic and other peaceful means alone will neither (A) adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq nor (B) likely lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and
(2) acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
