'Before the war, half of those polled in a survey said Iraqis were among the 19 hijackers Sept. 11, 2001.'
What made people believe this?
Here some excerpts of a March 17 2003 Bush speech:
"The terrorist threat to America and the world will be diminished the moment that Saddam Hussein is disarmed."
"Iraq has a deep hatred of America and our friends and it has aided, trained and harbored terrorists, including operatives of al-Qaida."
"The danger is clear: Using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons obtained with the help of Iraq, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country or any other."
"We will tear down the apparatus of terror and we will help you to build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free."
"In desperation, he and terrorist groups might try to conduct terrorist operations against the American people and our friends. These attacks are not inevitable. They are, however, possible. "
