Pentagon report finds no evidence of Saddam attempt to assassinate Bush

rawstory.com

In President Bush's view, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was many things -- a developer of weapons of mass destruction, an ally of al Qaeda and "a guy that tried to kill my dad."

Recent intelligence reports have already shot down those first two notions. No WMD stockpiles were found in Iraq after the US invasion, and a just-released Pentagon assessment failed to find any "smoking gun" link between Saddam and the terror group that plotted the 9/11 attacks.

I suppose there are those who believed the assassination plot thing, but most people I know didn't believe a word of it.

The Bush regime/dynasty is so full of raw unadulterated evil, it was laughable when little bush started spewing that trash.

Er... It wasn't "little Bush" who "started spewing that" stuff, it was Bill Clinton in 1993.

A classified US intelligence analysis has concluded that Kuwait may have "cooked the books" on an alleged plot to assassinate former President Bush while he was in Kuwait last month. [...] At least one administration official has expressed the fear that President Clinton, under heavy criticism for his indecision over issues like Bosnia, may be tempted to hit at Iraq to prove his willingness to undertake resolute action. The report notes that some of the evidence definitely points to Iraqi involvement. The explosive devices captured by the Kuwaitis, for example, match those used by Iraqi intelligence in other terrorist operations. But the report says it was unable to corroborate the Kuwaiti assertion that the plot was aimed at Bush

Hmm. Clinton had been in office three months when he bombed Iraq.

This strikes me as one of those articles that was never really an issue or concern anywhere but still manages to sound important....

Kind of like, "Mel Gibson isn't Anti Shinto," or "FDA Concludes No real Link Between Cancer and Drinking Purified Water."

You know...the duh moments.

It never hurts to document the lies that have been told by our illustrious leaders. Hillary is being raked over the coals at this very moment for something much less serious.

With today's electronic media a story can change from minute to minute with no one being the wiser. It's not like the old days when hard copies abounded. Re-writing history in today's World is only a click away.

I was always of the impression that Clinton was Bush Sr.'s meat puppet. Didn't their friendship blossom long before any of this took place? Or am I misinformed? (No sarcasm intended, I wouldn't be terribly surprised either way.)

Yeah, Clinton felt sorry for kicking Bush senior out of office a year after the election and decided to launch missiles on Iraq to send a message that he loves him.

I don't believe Bush and Clinton were ever "friends", per se. They met when they were campaigning against each other and always got along well. But Clinton, according to his own words at the time, bombed Iraq not because Bush was Bush but because Bush was an American and a former POTUS. A member of the club, as it were.

Ummm, maybe I'm just dense, but are you denying the Bush-Clinton connection? Was there none, or is it that you never heard of it? (I don;t want to stray off topic)

The Bush-Clinton connection dealing with Katrina disaster or the Big Tsunami was pretty much long after the missile strike.
