Tony Snow Returns: There Has Been No Attempt To Try To Link Saddam To 9/11′
"Welcome back Tony!" Video at site.White House Press Secretary Tony Snow returned to the job this morning and hit the ground running. In his first interview with CBSs Early Show, Snow declared that the White House never tried to link Iraq and September 11. Transcript: Q. The message is clear the administration was not straight with Americans, not about W.M.D.S, not about 9/11. There it is from the former C.I.A. Chief. Is it time for the administration to come clean, Tony? TONY SNOW: Wait a minute, Chris. The president has been saying exactly that all along. I dont know what the headline is. As a matter of fact, I can remember right after September 11 sitting here when I was a journalist and some of your colleagues, I believe Charlie Gibson may have been there at the time as well. The fact is the president made it clear before the State of the Union in 2002 that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and September 11. So Im afraid whats happened there is that George Tenet may have been referring to something that has been misreported or at least twisted by people with political motives, but there has been no attempt to try to link Saddam to September 11.
