Bush Knows Osama bin-Laden Attacked USA

Reading about yesterday's debate between Kerry and Bush, you could find one reassuring piece of information. The U.S. intelligence crisis, revealed by the WMD flap, is not entirely bottomless. At least the U.S. President claims to know who attacked his country on September 11:

USATODAY.com: "The president, fusing the Sept. 11 attacks with the war against Saddam Hussein, said he never dreamed of sending troops into combat until 'the enemy attacked us.' That gave Kerry an opening to remind voters, 'Saddam Hussein didn't attack us. Osama bin Laden attacked us.' Finally, an exasperated Bush responded, 'First of all, I know Osama bin Laden attacked us.'"

Thanks to Oliver Willis, who also links to video clips from the debate, for the pointer.
