Palin Missed the Memo on Iraq - 9/11

On Thursday, during an address to her son's army unit, Sarah Palin made the charge that Iraq was responsible for the tragedy of September 11, 2001. From The New York Times:

"You'll be there to defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans," she told the soldiers. "America can never go back to that false sense of security that came before September 11, 2001."

Ascribing no motives, asking you to draw no conclusions, I offer a simple factual correction. From the source least likely to make this claim erroneously:

"We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the 11 September attacks." - George W Bush, Sept. 18, 2003
