The 9/11 report does say that no evidence indicating that Iraq cooperated with al Qaeda in developing or carrying out attacks against the United States (page 66) were documented. HMMMMmmmmm, could it be because they DIDN'T HAVE the documents that Sandy Berger might have absconded with?
ooohhhh, they make me so mad......

Here is a great search engine for the 9/11 Commission's Final Report. It is speedy and detailed. Go to my

Page 128 from 1998 refers to VX nerve agent. Now that's interesting since it came from Clarke.

And the dems still claim that there is no connection between the Iraqi oil voucher money and Bill Clinton.

The media will not touch that one. That would make Bush look good.

Also WELL underreported -- like NOWHERE in the mainstream media:
In the section of the Senate Intelligence report called "Link to Terrorists", the report covers Iraq links to terrorists in general and especially Al Qaeda -- 66 pages worth -- showing that Iraq trained Al Qaeda in chemical, biological, NUCLEAR weapons -- and -- bomb making from "1990 to present".
In addition, the report also covers Iraq having 100s of terrorist training camps for home grown Iraqi terrorist from "1996 to present" specifically dedicated to training to hit US and US interests.
As far as I'm concerned, no additional evidence about Al Qaeda and Saddam -- than what the Senate Intelligence Committee report validates -- is required for a solid case that Saddam was a clear and undeniable threat to the US!

LOL! W's gonna have a field day during the debates.
And some here were saying that Bush made a mistake in starting the 9/11 Commission. As it turns out, the Commission has pretty much validated all of the steps he's taken, and thereby invalidated pretty much the entire DNC strategy.
Misunderestimated again....

Superb reporting - I am linking to your stuff in my article here:
http://freedomstruth.blogspot.com/2004/07/saddams-regime-and-al-qaeda.html
This has 911 plus more sources.
I read the 911 report too -
you got most of them, here are some more quotes/cites:
p60: Bin Laden sought the capability to kill on a mass scale [attempted to buy uranium, but were hoodwinked]
p 61:To protect his own ties with Iraq, Turabi brokered an agreement that Bin laden would stop supporting activities against Saddam ... In 2001, with Bin laden's help they [Kurdish extremists] reformed into an organization called ansar al-islam. There are indications that by then the Iraqi regime .. may even have helped Ansar Al islam against the Kurdish enemy.
(NOTE: There is plenty of evidence linking Iraqi intelligence to Ansar Al Islam. That linkage has served the insurgency, and Zarqawi is one of those links!)
p61: With Sudanese Govt acting as intermediary, Bin Laden himself met with a senior Iraqi intelligence officer in Khartoum in late 1994 and 1995. Bin Laden is said to ask for space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but there is no evidence that Iraq responded to this request.(55)
NOTE: This last comment is infuriating,because in the footnote they cite direct sources that DID claim those requests were fulfilled, in particular that a bomb-making expert met with bin laden in 1996 and trained them on bomb making techniques. This piece of intelligence was passed to the US in 1996. In the footnote they discount this piece of evidence because it was 2nd hand source and the timing of the meeting seems to contradict Bin laden's timeline of leaving sudan for Afghanistan. But it is infuriating to see 'no evidence' masking the very footnote that contains it!
