Bush administration officials appeared unusually concerned, this week, to distance themselves from the suggestion that Saddam Hussein had any connection to the September 11 terror attacks. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and President Bush himself all went on record stressing that there was no evidence linking Iraq to the attacks - despite the fact that 70 percent of Americans believe Saddam was involved. That erroneous belief may, of course, be one reason for the administration's sudden concern to set the record straight.

...informed by his experience as an official in the Nixon Administration in 1973, when the Saudis protested U.S. support for Israel by embargoing oil sales to the U.S. for five months, causing the worst gasoline shortages in U.S. history.

He thus offered himself as the fall guy for the disputed sentence about uranium that wound up in Bush's State...
...quick resumption of the peace talks." U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said last week that he expected some diplomatic developments soon. Senior State Department officials say Pyongyang has accepted the idea of three-way talks. On Friday Dai met with Powell, Cheney and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. But Administration sources say that Powell has so far been unable to secure the agreement of hard-liners to resume meetings with China and the North...
