Big surprise all.

Just ten days after 9/11, Bush was told that Sadam Hussein had no connection to the 9/11 disasters. Better yet, he withheld this information from Congress before he sought the authority to go to war. Yeah, they had the same intelligence you did Mr. President. Better yet, Saddam Hussein was noted as viewing Al Qaeda as a threat to his regime, and considered trying to infiltrate the organization. This is the funny thing - in the fight against Al Qaeda, Sadam Hussein was actually on our side!

If you want to impeach for lying about sex, then for goodness sake, what do you do to a President who has lied us into war?

"Ten days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush was told in a highly classified briefing that the U.S. intelligence community had no evidence linking the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein to the attacks and that there was scant credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative ties with Al Qaeda, according to government records and current and former officials with firsthand knowledge of the matter.

The administration has refused to provide the Sept. 21 President's Daily Brief, even on a classified basis, and won't say anything more about it other than to acknowledge that it exists.

The information was provided to Bush on September 21, 2001 during the "President's Daily Brief," a 30- to 45-minute early-morning national security briefing. Information for PDBs has routinely been derived from electronic intercepts, human agents, and reports from foreign intelligence services, as well as more mundane sources such as news reports and public statements by foreign leaders.

One of the more intriguing things that Bush was told during the briefing was that the few credible reports of contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda involved attempts by Saddam Hussein to monitor the terrorist group. Saddam viewed Al Qaeda as well as other theocratic radical Islamist organizations as a potential threat to his secular regime."
