From Think Progress:
Today, President Bush defended his foreign policy over the past eight years in an address to the Saban Center for Middle East Policy in Washington, DC. At one point, he acknowledged that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 attacks but justified using such a connection to push for the Iraq war:
It is true, as I have said many times, that Saddam Hussein was not
connected to the 9/11 attacks. But the decision to remove Saddam from power
cannot be viewed in isolation from 9/11. In a world where terrorists armed with
box cutters had just killed nearly 3,000 people, America had to decide whether
we could tolerate a sworn enemy that acted belligerently, that supported
terror, and that intelligence agencies around the world believed had weapons
of mass destruction. It was clear to me, to members of both political
parties, and to many leaders around the world that after 9/11, this was a
risk we could not afford to take.

All I can say is...What an ASS!!!
