Katie interview George Bush

One of the things I took away from this interview was when Bush said, "One of the hardest parts of my job is connecting Iraq to Al-Qaeda." My first question: Why would he have to connect Iraq to Al-Qaeda? Secondly; if he has to connect Iraq to Al-Qaeda, why is it so hard to connect Iraq to Al-Qaeda?

Another that struck me was when he said, "...12 million people said we want a government." as a justification for our invasion and occupation of Iraq. What would be his response to the calls from the 12 million+ illegal immigrants in this country crying out to be part of the United States?

Bush then stated, "When a person like Osama Bin Laden speaks, we better be careful about what he says...Listen. Pay attention to his words." His words (7 October 2001) can be found here.
