WASHINGTON (AP) - Leaders of the Sept. 11 commission said Sunday they do not regard differences with the Bush administration over the question of al-Qaida's relationship with Iraq under Saddam Hussein as a major point of contention.

A commission staff report says that while there were contacts between Osama bin Laden's network and the Iraqi government, they did not appear to have produced a collaborative relationship.

Al-Qaida had "a lot more active contacts" with Iran and Pakistan than it did with Iraq, but "we don't see serious conflicts" with the White House over the issue, said the commission chairman, former Republican Gov. Thomas Kean of New Jersey.

snip...
Hamilton said the White House and the commission agree on the central point: There is no evidence of a collaborative relationship between al-Qaida and Iraq in the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.

1. Kind of like

the ties between Saddam and the US or bin Laden and the US.

Of course, no one would dare mention those connections.

3. The Bush family has TIES with the bin Laden family......are we to say

....then the Bush family was involved with 9/11???? But the media is going to continue to spin the issues to support Bush and his policies. Ultimately, the media are all republican owned companies, with a right-wing agenda......no matter what they would like the naive people of this country to think. If the truth was being told, and the lies and failures of the Bush administration were actually being reported, the polls would be much different. Instead, the polls are being answered by people being spoon-fed right-wing propaganda and that think they are getting fair and balanced information. IT'S A SAD STATE OF A DEMOCRACY!....OR CAN IT EVEN BE CALLED A DEMOCRACY ANYMORE???

4. "are we to say then the Bush family was involved with 9/11????"

Actually, I'd say yes. Based on the evidence, LIHOP - at best.

5. I would NEVER suggest that..............

.....but, the administration needed a war, and they got one...huh? It sure is a big coincidence, or conspiracy????? We will probably never know the truth.
