He's a tricky little SOB
The reason Bush is talking about Al Qaeda in Iraq right now is to deflect the argument away from the fact that the Iraqi Parliament is about to begin their month long vacation.
This "Al Qaeda in Iraq related to Bin Laden" debate is intended to mask the real underlying political failures that continue the stagnation of Iraq.
It serves to frame a military answer to a political problem.
(Have you ever heard someone's patriotism challenged for not supporting the State Dept.?)
Later: Of course, it could also be a means to push the Gonzales hearing today down the page.
