Policy Board...

the Prince of Darkness?

- Richard Perle.

- Right. Perle.

And that neo-con over at the

Project...

for the New American

whatever the f***...

New American Century,

Bill Kristol.

That giant butthole,

Bill Kristol.

And he's got to be creaming his

little jammies over this.

Yeah, these think-tank boys...

have been trying to push out

Saddam Hussein since '97.

They have this crazy theory that

if they can just stick...

a Western-style of democracy in

the Middle East...

it's going to magically

proliferate...

and wind up protecting Israel.

You got to give them credit

for creative thinking.

It's Ivory Tower crap.

I mean, in what world do they

think that Osama bin Laden...

and Saddam Hussein hatched

this thing up together?

Let's find out if these

dickweeds...

are serious about Iraq, okay?

Look, I'm not saying there's

a link to Iraq...

and neither is my boss.

This is just something

we're hearing.

From whom?

Who told me or where is it

coming from?

Take your pick.

Someone at the Pentagon.

In the Vice President's office?

It's just theories.

Are there any Senators talking

to anyone...

saying anything different?

I know Powell's objected...

to going into anywhere other

than Afghanistan.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Go away.

One question and I'm gone.

I'm not talking to you

on the record.

Anonymous source, intelligence

community.

You can't use my name.

Never have, never will.

Or my agency.

Pinky swear.

One question.

Are you looking into an Iraqi

connection?

Who's the you in that question?

Are we in the United States?

There are some people.

Are we in my agency?

Not that I'm aware of.

Am I, personally?

No way.

Okay, the second part

to the question.

No.

Thank you.

So, no one you work with at the

Library of Congress has ever...

found a link between Saddam

Hussein and Al Qaeda?

No one I work with

would expect to find a link.

So, as far as you know...

there's nothing substantial to

tie Iraq to bin Laden?

There's nothing even

circumstantial.

To lump together a secular

leader like Saddam...

with an Islamic extremist

like bin Laden is simply...

to have no understanding

of the Muslim world.

It's a bit timid.

No one's actually come out and

said anything publicly yet.

Maybe it's just backroom

speculation.

Pretty dangerous speculation.

Can't we hit it harder than

this?

The attacks were just 10 days

ago.

Everyone's trying to play

catch-up.

Got to press our reliables.

I'll reach out to The Italian

Lady.

You think you can get Loose

Nukes to go on the record?

I'm lucky to get her on deep

background.

Well, double down on the Charm

Offensive.

Buongiorno, this is Warren
