Two years ago, the 9/11 Commission came to the premature conclusion that Saddam and Osama Bin Laden "had no operational relationship." Now from one of the members on the Commission, comes an eye opening remark, so listen up Democrats and those that "couldn't make the connection." "This is a very significant set of facts," Kerrey told the New York Sun.
"I personally and strongly believe you don't have to prove that Iraq was collaborating against Osama bin Laden on the September 11 attacks to prove he was an enemy [of the U.S.] and that he would collaborate with people who would do our country harm," the Nebraska Democrat explained.

Wish John, Jack, and the other libbies and lefties would figure it out. And the we have Chris Matthews who could not report himself out of wet paper bag. Most of the left wing and MSM are still ignoring the issue.
Sam Pender had a comment from a post on my site and a comment he left on a post I made on Hannity forum which I will share with you:
"There may well be--and probably will be--additional intelligence coming in from interrogations and from analysis of captured records and so forth which will fill out the intelligence picture. This is not phrased as--nor meant to be--the definitive word on Iraqi Intelligence activities."

I suspect, the Dems didn't know squat, and I base that on two things:
1) Even Republicans who should be in the know were not making claims based on these docs-it was a web driven, pajamahadeen push to get them translated and released
2) If you look at the leftist web sites and media outlets, they have had ZERO interest in looking at the subject unless it was aimed at attacking GWB and the basis for the war rather than in support of the war they promoted, authorized, and then opposed.
This adds to the NO WAY! factor and builds up the denial in many who oppose the war-bearing in mind that most of the opposition to the war is not opposition to the war as much as it is opposition to anything GWB did/does.
Sadly, this build up of denial makes it even tougher to demonstrate their long sought "smoking gun" Today, I seriously doubt that anything could ever meet that standard; a standard of opening minds closed by partisan disenfranchaisement, blindness, and deliberate spin/lies from those seeking power at any price...even the deliberate division of a nation at war.
Bob Kerry appears to be an exception to the left wing along with Joe Lieberman. Both are going be canned from the Democrat party for not following party line.

The sad part of all this is, think of the number of folks out there that only get their "educated news" from the folks at CBS, MSNBC, and CNN. Some of them will never know about these new findings. Think maybe the commission needs to rewrite their findings a little? Nice wish, but not likely.
