The Bush flip-flops continue. |
The regime has longstanding and continuing ties to terrorist groups, and
there are Al Qaida terrorists inside Iraq." - George W. Bush Delivers
Weekly Radio Address, White House (9/28/2002)
"We know that Iraq and al Qaeda have had high-level contacts that go back a
decade. Some al Qaeda leaders who fled Afghanistan went to Iraq. These
include one very senior al Qaeda leader who received medical treatment in
Baghdad this year, and who has been associated with planning for chemical
and biological attacks. We've learned that Iraq has trained al Qaeda
members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases." - President Bush

"He's a threat because he is dealing with Al Qaida. In my Cincinnati speech
I reminded the American people, a true threat facing our country is that an
Al Qaida-type network trained and armed by Saddam could attack America and
leave not one fingerprint." - President Outlines Priorities, White House
(11/7/2002)
"I think they're both equally important, and they're both dangerous. And as
I said in my speech in Cincinnati, we will fight if need be the war on
terror on two fronts. We've got plenty of capacity to do so. And I also
mentioned the fact that there is a connection between al Qaeda and Saddam
Hussein. The war on terror, Iraq is a part on the war on terror. And he
must disarm." http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021014-
