I think the media blew the 9/11-Saddam connections out or proportion. From actual positions given by the administration, I personally do not recall this ever being more then speculative, and not the reason for war. It was the WMDs and imminient danger. The media however latched on to 9/11 connections I think more then was reasonable.
I had never been under the impression that 9/11 and Saddam had any connections. I know in a recent survey like 70% of Americans had thought that though - such a large misconception... would suggest to me that the media fed people this information over and over as opposed to Bush himself - because hearing Bush speak once or twice wouldn't engrain the issue in ones mind so much. I hope that makes some sense.
