......Asked about a Senate report concluding that there was no working relationship between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda in Iraq, Mr. Bush said forcefully, “I never said there was an operational relationship.”

The questioner had included a reference to Mr. Bush’s Aug. 21 news conference at which he had said, “Imagine a world in which you had Saddam Hussein who had the capacity to make a weapon of mass destruction, who was paying suiciders to kill innocent life, who would — who had relations with Zarqawi,” referring to the Qaeda mastermind in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Democrats for the most part on Friday were content to allow Republicans to fight among themselves on the terrorism question.
