Congressman warns of possible nuclear threat
Bush wounded by anger over war
“He’s out in the sticks talking about a social security problem that might occur in 2047, and meanwhile the boys in Iraq are getting killed and injured every day,” said one officer. “Don’t you find that a little odd?”
Bush: US Is in Iraq Because of 9/11?
...the United States was forced into war because of the September 11 terror strikes.
Bush says US is in Iraq because of attacks on US
"We went to war because we were attacked, and we are at war today because there are still people out there who want to harm our country and hurt our citizens," Bush said?
It's been 1,371 days since G.W.B. said he'd catch U.B.L. 'Dead or Alive!'
Bliar's aides believed it would be difficult to justify going to war based on Saddam's suspected stockpiles of WMD alone, or his supposed links to Al Qaeda.
From Downing Street to Capitol Hill
New leaked memos are raising further questions about whether the Bush administration ‘fixed’ its intel to justify the Iraq war.
Two senior British government officials today acknowledged as authentic a series of 2002 pre-Iraq war memos stating that Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program was "effectively frozen" and that there was "no recent evidence" of Iraqi ties to international terrorism—private conclusions that contradicted two key pillars of the Bush administration's public case for the invasion in March 2003.

CONFIDENTIAL IRAQ: LEGAL BACKGROUND
WHEN WILL WE GET USAMA BIN LADEN? That is a question that goes far deeper than you know. In the chain that you need to successfully wrap up the war on terror, we have some weak links.

But when you go to the very difficult question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states, you're dealing with a problem of our sense of international obligation, fair play. We have to find a way to work in a conventional world in unconventional ways that are acceptable to the international community.

U.S. commander in Baghdad: "Certainly saying anything about 'breaking the back' or 'about to reach the end of the line' or those kinds of things do not apply to the insurgency at this point."
The Enemy Spies
In the shadows: The insurgents' most powerful weapon may be their vast network of infiltrators and spies—forces strengthened by talk of American exit plans. A secret CIA study frets about a whole new generation of master terrorists.
