There is “no credible evidence” that Saddam Hussein’s government in Iraq collaborated with the al Qaeda terrorist network on any attacks on the United States, according to a new staff report released this morning by the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
… The findings come in the wake of statements Monday by Vice President Cheney that Iraq had “long-established ties” with al Qaeda, and comments by President Bush yesterday backing up that assertion.
Duh.
You know what’s really amazing? That years after most intelligent people realized that Iraq had nothing to do with September 11, the administration is still making those claims — as recently as 2 days ago. How much would you like to bet that they will still be making those claims 3 months from now, just before the election, despite all facts to the contrary?
In the words of the almighty Reagan: “Facts are stupid things.”
