My head is spinning. You claimed to have quoted my entire sentence. I responded by pointing out that you didn't quote me at all. Now you come back with this.

You meant to imply, in fact you stated it, that Bush had linked Saddam's Iraq directly to the 9/11 attacks. He never did.

"Directly"? I'm pretty sure I never said "directly."

Clinton's administration felt the same way about many things regarding Al Qaida as you do about Iraq. Both of you are/were wrong.

Reading between the lines here to try to figure out what positions you ascribe to me, I guess you are saying that Clinton failed to appreciate the risk that al Qaida posed and that I failed to appreciate the risk posed by Iraq. On the first part, Clinton may have missed the mark, but he was way closer than W was during the first 8 months of his presidency. As to the risk posed by Iraq, I'd have to say that I was right. Iraq was no threat to the US until after we invaded.
