""U.S. SAYS HUSSEIN INTENSIFIES QUEST FOR A-BOMB PARTS""
Another New York Times article from Judith Miller (see above), this one claiming that Saddam Hussein was stepping up his activities to build a nuclear weapon for Iraq. This infamous article alleges Hussein's efforts to acquire aluminum tubes for his (imaginary, as it turns out) nuclear program. It was emblematic of Miller's reporting for the Times which relied heavily on leaks from the Administration itself. Ultimately, the Times would disown Miller and her questionable reporting, despite the fact that she had at one time been considered a star reporter.

Cheney says Osama not involved in 9/11
This comes from the March 26, 2006 interview conducted by Tony Snow. Although in the context of the discussion Cheney was likely referring to Saddam Hussein and misspoke, it is interesting to note that President Bush famously made the exact same mistake in the exact same context in the 2004 Presidential debate when he said "Of course we're after Saddam Hussein - I mean Bin Laden." The repeated "confusion" of Bin Laden and Hussein only serves to demonstrate the point that for the Bush Administration, these men are merely placeholders for whatever the Administration's agenda is at the moment, and as such they are interchangeable. The comment also reminds us of the FBI's official position that they do not list 9/11 on their Osama Bin Laden wanted page because there is no hard evidence connecting him to 9/11. In the light of all of the evidence presented in this documentary, this misstatement by Cheney amounts to an unintentional truth.

The clip is of Obama praising Brzeznski after Zbigniew introduced Obama's first major foreign policy speech of his Presidential campaign.
