"Nobody’s ever suggested that the attacks of September the 11th were ordered by Iraq."
George W. Bush.
In the same press briefing, Bush finally admits Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.
QUESTION: What did Iraq have to do with it?
BUSH: What did Iraq have to do with what?
QUESTION: The attack on the World Trade Center.
BUSH: Nothing. Except it’s part of — and nobody has suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack.
Apparently, Bush doesn't read Instapundt, Little Green Footballs or listen to his own Vice-President.
The moral is that the White House never believed their own deception. As for the wingnut/neoconservative bloggers - George Carlin once said, "Some people are just fucking stupid."
Think Progress has the video.

I'm having trouble finding the statements at either site that would indicate that Hussein ordered the WTC attacks.
There is evidence, on the other hand, that Hussein's government had contacts with al Qaida and had issued orders related to terrorist attacks on American targets.
Sorry about the search URLs getting chopped--but it should be easy enough to duplicate my results.
