No, Virginia, there is no link between Saddam Claus and al-Qaeda
Satire
Today, President George W. Bush informed the public that there is no link between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In keeping with that theme he also broke the hearts of four-year-olds across the land when he said that there is no Santa Claus. "Sorry, kids," the president said, "but we all have to come to terms with the fact that some of our deepest held beliefs may not be true."
When asked why he did not come public with this information while building the case for war, the president said, "At that time the American people were coming together to unite against a brutal enemy, telling them that there is no Santa Claus could have affected national security and made us more prone to terror."
Commentary
One has to wonder about the information level of the American public when the President has to make such a statement of fact due to a widely, and erroneously, held public belief. All along there has been no evidence linking Saddam to the attacks, but the cynical White House War Machine (with new, color coded Department of Homeland Security) let some 70% of the people believe that most of the hijackers were Iraqi. Maybe, when we are children believing in Santa Claus, we are conditioned to believe what we want to be true. In this universe, Saddam and Osama as "terrorists" fight on the same side (because all terrorists are on the same side, regardless of their beliefs) much as the Yankees and the Devil Rays are on the same team simply because they play baseball and try to beat the Red Sox. It always comes back to the Red Sox (lost 7-0 to those same D-Rays).
