While the bipartisian 9/11 commission has reported there are no collaborative links between Iraq and Al Qaeda, the Bush Administration continues to argue there are links. To its credit, the Commission has called the Administration on its claims of those links and asked for it to provide proof of such links.

It still begs the question of why didn't the Administration provide that evidence when it testified before the committee? Bush still refers to that "Chech thing" as evidence, referring to the supposed meeting between Mohammad Atta and an Iraqi offical, which the 9/11 commission says is highly unlikely since Atta was on his cellphone in Florida at the time. Cheney has said that he "probably" knows something the commission doesn't.

President Bush is still seeking to find a justification for the Iraqi conflict that the American public will support as his numbers continue to go south on the issue of Iraq. With no WMD found, they are still repeating the "there could still be WMD, we just haven't found them yet" claim in spite of David Kay's statement that they just aren't there. They have used this same argument on the Al Qaeda links too.

This administration is taking possibility as fact in its statements, which could mean that GW is having gay sex with Cheney. There is no proof of it, but it is a possibility as it has never been fully disproven, right? I highly doubt they are having gay sex, but if we treat possibility as fact, as they have with justifications for war, such logic would still apply, and it illustrates the very flaw in their argument. Possibilities are just that, possibilities, not fact. It has never been proven that hot pink crows don't exist, but that doesn't mean they do.

For GW, this is a huge dent in his armor as the "straight shooter" is proving he is anything but a "straight shooter." The question is only, how will this kink in his armor impact November?
