It is 12 hours after the twin towers were attacked, and you're having to decide what to say in your upcoming address to the public. You remember that Bush really doesn't like Saddam Hussein because he survived the Gulf War, but you have a lot of evidence that he wasn't involved in the attacks and isn't harboring weapons of mass destruction. Maybe there is some global network of terrorist sleeper cells, created only so you and the Neo-conservatives can have a way to scare the public and justify the next two wars. You're presented with two options:
[Admit that Iraq is in no way involved in the attacks and don't start one of the most expensive and useless wars in American History, but not directly address the issue at hand which is some Terrorist group that has a Jihad against the United States]
OR
[Get Iraq involved by using the age old tactic of "Proof by lack of dis-proof", but also make it look like you're addressing the problem of this "Al Qaeda" terrorist group and satisfy the Country's desperate need for revenge]
