And to the Easter Bunny

Bush, desperately trying to salvage his favorite war, is still linking al-Qaeda in Iraq to Osama bin Laden, and by extension to the 9/11 attacks:
US President George W. Bush, trying to reverse ebbing support for the Iraq war, sought Tuesday to tie deadly violence there directly to Al-Qaeda terrorist chief Osama bin Laden.
Facing mounting calls for a US withdrawal, and intelligence findings that the unpopular war is a recruiting tool for Al-Qaeda, Bush warned that a hasty US pull-out would increase the risk of an attack in the United States.
“However difficult the fight is in Iraq, we must win it, and we can win it,” Bush said in a speech to uniformed military personnel here. “Surrendering the future of Iraq to Al-Qaeda would be a disaster to our country.”
Bush said that bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, pulled the strings of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, a group that did not exist before the March 2003 US-led invasion.
Still lying.
