Interesting....
I copy the same paragraph you do and find it says "MEQUON, Wis., May 14 --
President Bush told graduates of a Christian college Friday that the abuse
of Iraqi prisoners has embarrassed the country, and he offered
"compassionate conservatism" as an antidote to "show the good heart of our
country to the whole world." "

Now further down in the story it does say:
"Bush spoke of Nicholas Berg, the young American who was recently beheaded
in Iraq. The CIA has blamed Abu Musab Zarqawi, a Jordanian terrorist
connected to the al Qaeda terrorist network, and Bush used the killing to
make the case that Saddam Hussein "had terrorist ties."
"The person responsible for the Berg death, Zarqawi, was in and out of
Baghdad prior to our arrival, for example," the president said. "

But I don't see bush quoted here as blaming "al Qaeda supporter Abu Musab
Zarqawi for beheading American Nicholas Berg"

I do see the CIA blaming him

Funny how you try to twist things your way, and find the twist isn't there.

Well I guess we have located the naive fool

President Bush and other administration officials have recently
acknowledged
there are no links between Saddam and Sept. 11.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...030131-23.html

Q One question for you both. Do you believe that there is a link between
Saddam Hussein, a direct link, and the men who attacked on September the
11th?

THE PRESIDENT: I can't make that claim.


In January 2003, we had plenty of circumstantial evidence linking them.
Bush never said "there's no link". He said "I can't make that claim".
That's a pretty big difference. Why don't you look for something more
current? Like this, for example:

Bush Says Berg's Death Links Hussein, Al Qaeda

MEQUON, Wis., May 14 -- President Bush on Friday blamed al Qaeda supporter
Abu Musab Zarqawi for beheading American Nicholas Berg and cited Zarqawi
as
an example of Saddam Hussein's "terrorist ties" before the U.S.-led war in
Iraq.
