Sometimes it takes an Irish broad to ask the tough questions- this interview (updated link- interview starts at 15:00 mark) is really worth watching.

Why can’t American reporters be this direct?

Also, after days of denying the administration is attempting to link Iraq with 9/11 the president links Iraq with 9/11:

Q Indeed, Mr. President, but you didn’t find the weapons of mass destruction.

THE PRESIDENT: Let me finish. Let me finish. May I finish?

He said — the United Nations said, disarm or face serious consequences. That’s what the United Nations said. And guess what? He didn’t disarm. He didn’t disclose his arms. And, therefore, he faced serious consequences. But we have found a capacity for him to make a weapon. See, he had the capacity to make weapons. He was dangerous. And no one can argue that the world is better off with Saddam — if Saddam Hussein were in power.

Q But, Mr. President, the world is a more dangerous place today. I don’t know whether you can see that or not.

THE PRESIDENT: Why do you say that?

Q There are terrorist bombings every single day. It’s now a daily event. It wasn’t like that two years ago.

THE PRESIDENT: What was it like September the 11th, 2001?

Well… touché Mr. President.
