Two days ago, President Bush told the country that the administration had never linked Saddam and Iraq with the terrorist attacks of 9/11. But Slate magazine reprints a letter to Congress, meant to justify an attack on Iraq, which proves that they did, in fact make that link. If you can't get Slate, here is the reprint:
"[A]cting pursuant to the Constitution and [the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002] 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."
—President Bush, in a letter to Congress outlining the legal justification for commencing war against Iraq, March 18, 2003
Why can't these guys stop lying to the American people?
