Macmind, a blog that I discovered through the efforts of AJ over at Strata Sphere who by the way is still chasing down leads on Able Danger, is a bit puzzled about why the MSM believes that it can portray Saddam and Al Queda as not being connected. MacRanger surmises that when the evidence builds so high as to be seen even in the lofty heights of Washington DC, then the MSM will be forced to acknowledge that Saddam and Al Queda had a collaborative relationship. I say don't hold your breath, the evidence has been overwhelming for quite sometime and they have done an outstanding job of ignoring it. The question is how can the MSM continue to ignore it. Let me count the ways.

As long as the Bush administration continues to play this duet with the intelligence agencies, who have been at war not with the Al Queda but with the Bush Administration, the idiocy will continue. Patrick Moynihan no raving Neo-Con once recommended disbanding the CIA. Nothing the CIA has done in the last 30 years has caused me to believe that recommendation is anything but the most rational response to near treasonous actions by the CIA.

Rogue elephant only begins to explain the problems they cause. We have dumped trillions of dollars into that black hole of bureaucratic incompetence and we have received nothing but failure in return. Blood pressure goes skyrocketing when I consider an organization that has sucked down so much of our sweat covered money managed to allow the worst attack on this country in history, where we had American Citizens providing entertainment for the barbarians around the world by jumping out of our tallest buildings in our most glorious city to avoid burning to death, and those schmucks at the CIA still think they can pontificate behind our Commander in Chiefs back. Bastards, if there were any justice they would be stood up against a wall and shot, not because they failed on 9/11 but because of their continuing attempts at covering up their failure.

What has happened in the past is someone in the Bush Administration mentions that there are some hints of connections between Saddam and Al Queda, and all of a sudden unnamed intelligence sources are all over the Washington Post and the MSM the next day laughing at those Bush Officials for being so wrong about the Connections. My my don't you know that its simply not possible for Saddam to have any dealings with Islamofacists because he is so secular, Christopher Dickey from Newsweek says so, ok maybe he doesn't. Never mind that he attempted to hire Islamofacist suicide bombers to annihilate Radio Free Europe which coincidently is in Prague. And which in another set of astounding coincidences the very same person expelled from Prague, Samir Al Ani, for his actions in regards to Radio Free Europe is the very same person who met with Atta. Wow wonders never cease. You never hear about the fact that Iraq planned a terrorist attack against Radio Free Europe do you? Even though that is proved beyond a shadow of doubt because of the Defection of the original person in charge of hiring the suicide bombers, Jabir Salim.

But hey the games go on. The Bush administration seemingly accepting the meme that there were no connections between Saddam and 9/11 while at the same time removing him. It might be asked, who cares whether the Bush administration pushes the fact that Saddam was linked at the hip to Bin Laden, after all President Bush removed him. With the support for the war dwindling I wonder how many people are now wondering whether it was so wise to have allowed the MSM to define an issue instead of the Bush administration. Having said it before, it bears repeating, I have 3 beautiful children, I would not send them off to war for UN resolution violations. But I would pack them off to war myself if it was shown Saddam or some other tyrant was personally responsible for killing 3,000 of my fellow citizens.

The Bush administration played it cute hoping to rope a dope a few Democrats into making stupid statements as if that would be terminal. It wasn't, the public is used to the Democrats making assine statements. But the lack of will in the Bush administration to defend the evidence of Saddams connections to 9/11 caused something much more dire than some minor gains against Democrats could pay for. It caused the country as a whole to doubt our very essential mission in Iraq.

The MSM will continue to play it dumb as long as the Bush administraion continues to deny that there is strong evidence showing those links, between Saddam and 9/11. The MSM will gladly beat the Bush administration over the head with Iraq as long as people like Rumsfeld who should know better say dumb things like this when asked if there were links: "I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that.".
