Again: Suggestive interpretation.
Nothing that I read heard or saw from anyone in the administration led me to anythig close to the conclusion that Iraq was involved in 9-11.
Given the statements that were made, I cannot imagine how anyone with any mastery of the English language could reach such a conclusion.
Transcript from Meet the Press, 2003
RUSSERT: The Washington Post asked the American people about Saddam Hussein, and this is what they said: 69 percent said he was involved in the September 11 attacks. Are you surprised by that?
CHENEY: No. I think it's not surprising that people make that connection.
RUSSERT: But is there a connection?
CHENEY: We don't know. You and I talked about this two years ago. I can remember you asking me this question just a few days after the original attack. At the time I said no, we didn't have any evidence of that. Subsequent to that, we've learned a couple of things.
So, are you saying no connection was made because the Vice President didn't specifically say it, and that everyone should have realized his innuendo was false?
