Rumsfeld sees no link between Iraq, 9/11
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday he had no reason to believe that Iraq's Saddam Hussein had a hand in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
At a Pentagon news conference, Rumsfeld was asked about a poll that indicated nearly 70% of respondents believed the Iraqi leader probably was personally involved.

"I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that," Rumsfeld said.

This is just after Chaney said: Subsequent to that, we have learned a couple of things," he said. "We learned more and more that there was a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the '90s; that it involved training, for example, on BW (biological warfare) and CW (chemical warfare) — that al-Qaeda sent personnel to Baghdad to get trained on the systems, and involved the Iraqis providing bomb-making expertise and advice to the al-Qaeda organization."

Now while I may not like Rummie I respect him as an old club pro.
So why at this time is he distancing himself from the (grand old) party line. He even is crossing Chaney the godfather
All conspiricy theories etc welcome

"I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that," Rumsfeld said.

Spoken like a true politician

Say something that, regardless of what new information may come to light in the future to contradict or embarass you, you can always claim was "misunderstood" or "taken out of context"....

Who was it that said "always leave em guessing"?
