Colin Powell as Bill Clinton

[andyfox]

I heard Colin Powell on the Michael Medved radio show today. First the said that neither he, the president, nor anybody else in the administration had said that Saddam Hussein or his regime had had anything to do with 9/11. Then he said that what they had said, and what the 9/11 commission confirmed, was that there were indeed "connections" between Al Qaeda and the Hussein regime. Then, in the next sentence, he changed "connections" to "contacts," because there is doubt whether the attempted contact from Al Qaeda was responded to by the Hussein regime.

It was a tortured explanation worthy of Bill Clinton. The big difference, of course, is that Clinton's lies were mostly about extra-marital affairs.
