PLEASE READ INFO: I re-posted this video because a recent poll by Newsweek (June 2007) showed that "More Than 4 in 10 Americans Still Believe Saddam Involved with 9/11"
Nearly six years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S., more than 4 in 10 Americans still wrongly believe that Saddam Hussein was involved in planning or carrying out the actions. Surprisingly, that number has even risen in the past two years, according to this Newsweek poll. The belief that Saddam had something to do with 9/11, which was endorsed by Vice President Cheney and other Bush administration officials, was seen as a prime reason for broad public support for the attack on Iraq in 2003.
Well, why don't those 40% READ the DECLASSIFIED documents by the CIA????
First recall what Cheney has said in official statements earlier:
On December 9, 2001, Vice President Cheney said that the Prague meeting had been "pretty well confirmed," and on September 8, 2002, he said, "Mohamed Atta, who was the lead hijacker, did apparently travel to Prague on a number of occasions. And on at least one occasion, we have reporting that places him in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence official a few months before the attack on the World Trade Center." When asked if the CIA thought the report of the meeting was credible, he said, "it's credible." On January 9, 2004, Cheney further said, "We did have reporting that was public, that came out shortly after the 9/11 attack, provided by the Czech government, suggesting there had been a meeting in Prague between Mohamed Atta, the lead hijacker, and a man named al-Ani, who was an Iraqi intelligence official in Prague, at the embassy there, in April of '01, prior to the 9/11 attacks... That was the one that possibly tied the two together to 9/11."
A June 21, 2002 CIA report [PDF], called "Iraq and al-Qa'ida: Interpreting a Murky Relationship," states that, relative to a report that Iraq provided chemical and biological weapons assistance to al Qaeda, "the level and extent of this is assistance is not clear." The document notes the "many critical gaps" in the knowledge of Iraqi links to al Qaeda because of "limited reporting" and the "questionable reliability of many of our sources." And, most relevantly, the report also states that "Reporting is contradictory on hijacker Mohammed Atta's alleged trip to Prague and meeting with an Iraqi intelligence officer, and we have not verified his travels.": http://www.senate.gov/newsroom/suppor...
The October 2, 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq's Continuing WMD Programs [PDF] states: "As with much of the information on the overall [Iraq-al Qaeda] relationship, details on training and support are second-hand or from sources of varying reliability." It also notes that that the Intelligence Community "cannot determine...how many of the reported plans for CBW [Chemical and Biological Warfare] were actually realized.": http://www.senate.gov/newsroom/suppor...
A January 29, 2003 CIA report [PDF], "Iraqi Support for Terrorism," discusses the lack of "evidence of completed training," and says most of the reports of training "do not make clear whether training" was "actually implemented." It indicates that some number of the reports appeared to be based on "hearsay," and that others were "simple declarative accusations of Iraqi-al Qa'ida complicity with no substantiating detail or other information that might help us corroborate them." And, most relevantly, the report also states that: "some information asserts that Atta met with ... al-Ani, but the most reliable reporting to date casts doubt on this possibility.": http://www.senate.gov/newsroom/suppor...
Does this seem like long-established ties to you??? - or more a fabricated pretext for war, that even the CIA knew was too far fetched???

Hmmm. Somebody noticed me the reports can not be downloaded anymore, and I just checked the links to the PDFs, and indeed they are dead now. The declassified documents were first released on Senator Carl Levins website: Levin Releases Newly Declassified Intelligence Documents on Iraq-al Qaeda Relationship http://www.senate.gov/~levin/newsroom...
But you can Google the name of each CIA report and find them at FAS...

A study by THE CENTER FOR PUBLIC INTEGRITY found the Bush administration made 935 FALSE statements about the national security threat posed toward the U. S. from Iraq. This was in the two years following the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks. Attacks which Iraq had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with! This continual parade of lies was for the sole purpose of promoting, to the American people, the Bush Iraq War. To learn more about the LIES, read the book "The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us About Iraq".
CHeney and Bush LIED for 8 STRAIGHT years!! throw both their asses along with the rest of the Neo-Con Repugs in JAIL!! for the sake and honor of America!
This little gay zionists bitch ,Mr. Prick Cheney is the one big piece in the puzzel why the the U.s.a is in such a bad state of affair. He talks out both sides his mouth and ass at the same time he is responsable for lots of dead Arabs and others for no reason but greed. When the blow back arrives . please dont say a f * &king thing. Put the neocon zionist group on trial now or please S.T.F.U about the rule of law shit.
JMS if you think the intelligence used to support the Iraq war was not "cooked", "cherry picked" and politicized by the right-wing Republican neocons then you need to read the book--- The Fall of the House of Bush: The Untold Story, How a Band of True Believers Seized the Executive Branch, Started the Iraq War and Still Imperils America by Craig Unger. And it is Documented!
Please calm down JMS, you are letting your obsession with your ideology overrule the facts. It is a fact Bush & Cheney misinformed the American people about Iraq. The Republican neocons wanted a war with Iraq even before 9/11. Check it out.
Only a complete dipshit would be fooled by this clip. Do you not even hear the explanation he gives in the first clip as to why his second clip is being misunderstood?
How fucking stupid can you idiots possibly be? I cant beleive they let you people vote.
Dude with all due respect. I will be more civilized than you. But if you look at this and many clips you will prove to yourself that Cheny and Bush ropped USA. If you will let your anger control your cognitive abilities, I am sure you will be misled. God bless.
You do NOT love america, you dumbfuck, move the fuck out and stop playing your fucking political games when were talking about people dieing. NEWSFLASH DIPSHIT RUSSIA UK AND USA INTELLIGENCE all said Iraq had WMD, what would you have done? let them sell it to a terrorist? MAYBE THATS WHY YOUR NOT PRESIDENT, AND YOU NEVER WILL BE. AND MAYBE THATS WHY BUSH GOT ELECTED TWICE, BECAUSE HES A LOT SMARTER THAN YOU DUMBFUCKS WHO THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ON YOUTUBE.
Sorry, but the entire push to go to war with Iraq was based on faulty and trump-up intelligence and Cheney and the others knew it! There was no CREDIBLE intel from any source that Iraq had WMD. For another YouTube video on Cheney lies go to: "Cheney Lied to Powerful Majority Leader Armey".
Once one looks into this issue, it becomes all too apparent the Bush-Cheney administration was engaged in a concerted effort of misinformation to deceive the American people about Iraq in order to promote their "Iraq War". Iraq was not involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. This according to the Pentagon and the U. S. Senate Intelligence Committee.
