HEY BUSH, If you want to JUSTIFY the War in Iraq, you may want to use PRE-2003 Intelligence!

Bush declassifies al-Qaida intelligence

WASHINGTON - President Bush, trying to defend his war strategy, declassified intelligence Tuesday asserting that Osama bin Laden ordered a top lieutenant in early 2005 to form a terrorist cell that would conduct attacks outside Iraq — and that the United States should be the top target.

The information mirrored a classified bulletin from the Homeland Security Department in March 2005, reporting that bin Laden had enlisted Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, his senior operative in Iraq, to plan potential strikes in the U.S. The warning was described at the time as credible but not specific and did not prompt the administration to raise its national terror alert level.

The declassification of the intelligence came a day before Bush was scheduled to speak about terrorism at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.

If we HADN'T INVADED TWO YEARS EARLIER, Bin Laden would not have had any opportunity to work with Zarqawi IN IRAQ.

And by the way, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DECLASSIFYING THIS, besides to save your own skin? It's time for Congress to take a look at ALL THE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION regarding this ILLEGAL WAR.
