This exchange took place on Meet the Press:

CLARK: "There was a concerted effort during the fall of 2001, starting immediately after 9/11, to pin 9/11 and the terrorism problem on Saddam Hussein."

RUSSERT: "By who? Who did that?"

CLARK: "Well, it came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. It came from all over. I got a call on 9/11. I was on CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, 'You got to say this is connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein.' I said, 'But--I'm willing to say it, but what's your evidence?' And I never got any evidence."

BTW: Clark is General Wesley Clark.

Check out the link and read the whole article. It isn't very long.

I saw the interview

and harkened back to PBS's Frontline (The War Behind Closed Doors) series about the Bush Admin preparing for war:

Sept. 15, 2001
Camp David Meeting: Iraq Debated

Four days after the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush gathers his national security team at Camp David for a war council. Wolfowitz argues that now is the perfect time to move against state sponsors of terrorism, including Iraq. But Powell tells the president that an international coalition would only come together for an attack on Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, not an invasion of Iraq.

The war council votes with Powell. Rumsfeld abstains. The president ultimately decides that the war's first phase will be Afghanistan. The question of Iraq will be reconsidered later.

This Administration is all about disinformation and hoping that the Voters are too busy with this struggling economy to spend enough time on anything other than news soundbites versus real analysis.

I am hoping the families of soldiers will start to speak out more, but if too many get killed over there, I can't help but wonder if the cognitive dissonance of their grief will prevent them admitting that their loved ones died for anything less than the most glorious of causes.
