Bush diverted the war against terror: "fifteen of the nineteen hijackers came from Saudi Arabia; none came from Iraq....
It is now quite clear that the President--unwilling to deal with the ties between Saudi Arabia and Osama bin Laden--pursued Hussein as a politically convenient scapegoat. By drawing attention away from the Muslim fanatic networks centered in Saudi Arabia, Bush diverted the war against terror. That seems to be the implication of the 28 pages [in the congressional report that dealt with Saudi Arabia's role in the September 11 terrorist attack on the United States], which the White House demanded be kept from the American people when the full report was released.
