President Bush said lots of things about Saddam Hussein in the run-up to the Iraq War.? But few of his charges grabbed more attention than an unscripted remark he made at a Texas political fund-raiser on Sept. 26, 2002.? "After all, this is a guy who tried to kill my dad at one time," Bush said.? The comment referred to a 1993 claim by the Kuwaiti government -- accepted by the Clinton administration -- that the Iraqi Intelligence Service?had plotted to assassinate President George H.W. Bush during a trip to Kuwait that spring. But, curiously little has been heard about the allegedly foiled assassination plot in the five years since the U.S. military invaded Iraq.? A just-released Pentagon study on the Iraqi regime's ties to terrorism only adds to the mystery. The review combed through 600,000 pages of Iraqi intelligence documents seized after the fall of Baghdad, as well as thousands of hours of audio- and video-tapes of Saddam's conversations with his ministers and top aides.? The study found that the I.I.S. kept remarkably detailed records of virtually every operation it planned.? But, they found NO documents that referred to a plan to kill Bush.? The absence was conspicuous because researchers, aware of its potential significance, were looking for such evidence. Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.
