From Bush Watch:
Big Bush Lies: Bush Lies About His Lies That Took Us To War in Iraq And Led To The Deaths of over 25,000 Human Beings
Bush, March 20, 2006:
"First, just if I might correct a misperception, I don’t think we ever said – at least I know I didn’t say that there was a direct connection between September the 11th and Saddam Hussein."
In fact, Bush justified the war against Iraq by directly linking it to 9/11:
"The use of armed forces against Iraq 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 person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001." [Bush’s Letter to Congress, 3/21/03] --Think Progress, March 20, 2006
