So, Bush had this to say in his interview with Katie Couric:
"There – it's – you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror. "
Hmm. Perhaps because there was not one until you invaded? Could that be it? But she did not ask him that. She did, however, score a point with me when she corrected him:
BUSH: Well – the first thing I would tell people that – we weren't in Iraq on September the 11th, 2001, when 19 killers killed 3,000 Americans in the most brutal attack on our – on our soil – ever.
COURIC: But they were from Saudi Arabia.
BUSH: No, but they're – but– but they share the same jihadist mentality, this radicalism. See, that's the interesting thing about this war, Katie. It's – we're not facing a nation-state.
