While it is true that they never said 'Saddam ordered 9-11', until recently Cheney was still pushing an Iraq-AlQaeda link.
So we have to work on a definition of 'blames Saddam for 9-11'. Since the administrations remarks resulted in a large number of Americans making a connection, I'd say "yes".
Here is an article from 2004 Washington Post.

Vice President Cheney said in a speech on Monday that Saddam Hussein "had long-established ties with al Qaeda." The Sept. 11 panel said in a report that it has found no "collaborative relationship" between Iraq and al Qaeda
