Duh

Re: the Iraq war, at this point, everyone is pretty much willing to admit the following:
(1) There were no weapons of mass destruction operational by Saddam.
(2) There was no link whatsoever between Saddam and 9/11.

Everyone is also pretty much willing to admit the following:
(1) Before Iraq war #2 the American public was convinced that Saddam had something to do with 9/11,

What people aren't willing to admit is that there was plenty of evidence and reporting done shortly after the war began that there was NO link between Saddam and 9/11.
The so-called "liberal" media in this country has just picked up the story regarding Doug Feith and his heading-up of the Office of Special Plans at the Pentagon that was tasked with formulating a link between Saddam and 9/11. You can read this stuff in Richard Clarke's book about a map of Iraq being rolled out on the table immediately after 9/11. You can listen to republicans denying it as well. Either way, check out Doug Feith on Wikipeida or you can check out the articles from back in 2003 right after the invasion on the fallacy that is the Office of Special Plans in The New Yorker or The Guardian.
