http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/10/20011023-33.htmlQ Mr. President, are you now operating on the assumption that the September 11th attacks and the anthrax attacks, anthrax letters, are linked?
------
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we don't have any hard evidence. But there's no question that anybody who would mail anthrax with the attempt to harm American citizens is a terrorist. And there's no question that al Qaeda is a terrorist organization. So it wouldn't put it past me that there -- you know, it wouldn't surprise me that they're involved with it. But I have no direct evidence.
I do know that this country is strong enough to endure, to endure the evil ones. And we're making great progress on the ground in Afghanistan, and we'll bring the al Qaeda to justice and we'll -- we're doing everything we can to find out who mailed these letters.

It's a short but fun read, a little walk down memory lane, to fondly recall the 'evildoers', the 'evil ones', the ones who attacked us, remember them, Al Qaeda? Al Qaeda was SURELY behind the anthrax murder love letters, cause you know, it'd be just like them to do that cause they're so very, very evil.
I really loved it when he spoke of how Al Qaeda wants to destroy 'our way of life'. I love that cute little phrase, 'our way of life', don't you?
Always, always the reference to Al Qaeda, way back then, and even now, every freakin' day, Al Qaeda this and Al Qaeda that, all these years later and STILL Al Qaeda hangs over our heads like the sword of Damocles.
Did we ever FIND the perpetrator of nine eleven? Mr. public Al Qaeda enemy numero uno? Did we ever find a connection between Osama and the anthrax cheney love letters? (oops, I didn't mean to say cheney). Are the anthrax letters EVER mentioned?
Or do they leave that little incident out of the conversation because it reminds everyone that we WERE attacked since nine eleven, though they always chant that we haven't been attacked SINCE nine eleven because of our great leader?
Maybe we could get Bill Moyers to put the anthrax case on his show 'Cold Case Files' and it would finally be solved, cause the FBI sure dropped the ball. And maybe we could put the nine eleven attacks on that show 'Mythbusters'.
Anyways, here we are, all these years later, and the number one story would be the president's abject failure to find the people responsible for attacking us IF the president were a Democrat.
