(Tony) Snow: Tenet claims nothing new

[sabra]

WASHINGTON, April 30 (UPI) -- White House spokesman Tony Snow said Monday he doesn't see what all the fuss is about in relation to George Tenet's new book, "At the Center of the Storm."

The former CIA director said in a "60 Minutes" interview broadcast Sunday the U.S. spy agency never could verify there was any Iraqi complicity in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.

"The president's been saying exactly that all along. So I don't know what the headline is," Snow said on "Good Morning America" in his first appearance since undergoing liver cancer surgery. "As a matter of fact, I can remember right after Sept. 11 sitting here when I was a journalist ... The fact is, the president made it clear before the State of the Union in 2002 that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and Sept. 11.

"So, I'm afraid what's happened there is that George Tenet may have been referring to something that has been misreported or at least twisted by people who may have political motives in recent years. But, there's been no attempt to try to link Saddam to Sept. 11."

1. Tell that...

Tell that to the idiot freepers who insist that Iraq had a lot to do with 9/11.

2. propaganda at it's best

:puke: Should we all email Tony Cheney quotes?

[sinkingfeeling]

3. Tony, I wouldn't want you to work too hard this week, but please ask the folks that both

spout off on Fox and those that listen to them, if they think Bush made it clear there was no connection between Hussein and 9/11.

4. Snows brush with death apparently hasn't damaged his ability to lie

'cause he seems to be doing just fine in that regard.

5. tony tony------don't you get it?--Bush allowed his lapdogs to lie about it for YEARS!--Cheney is

still doing it!!




.. The fact is, the president made it clear before the State of the Union in 2002 that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and Sept. 11.

12. Saying there is no link between Saddam and 9-11 ..

.. is not the same as saying there was no link between Saddam and Al-Qaeda.

[Arkana]

13. No, but they have tried to conflate the two

when in fact neither is true. Saddam had no links to al-Qaeda, nor did he have anything to do with 9/11.
