The administration misled the American people when it tried to leave the impression that the war on terrorism is engaged in by--in other words, that Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida could be linked. That has not been shown to be a fact. And the American people, according to the polls I read some time ago, seemed to be half of the belief that those who took the planes into the Twin Towers were Iraqis. The truth is, not one of those hijackers of planes flown into the Twin Towers on 9/11-- not one of those hijackers was an Iraqi, not one. Not one was from Iraq. So where is the link? Where is the link?
