Bush to reporters Thursday:
This administration never said that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated between Saddam and al Qaeda.
Bush’s March 18, 2003, letter to Congress on why we went to war against Iraq:
I have also determined that the use of armed force against Iraq is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
