Spread the truth. The left constantly claims that Al Qaeda was not in Iraq before the war.
This is a lie. And worse, they KNOW it's a lie.
During the 90's, the MSM wrote quite a few articles about the growing relationship between OBL/AQ and Saddam/Iraq.
The Clinton administration certainly knew that AQ and Iraq were connected, given that administration's federal indictment of OBL which mentioned Al Qaeda wouldn't attack Iraq in exchange for weapons development.
Saddam was considered Al Qaeda's ATM.
Iraq's state run newspaper wrote an article 2 months before 9/11 about America's obsession with bin Laden which mentioned that New Yorkers would never again sing New York, New York without crying and that we'd be hurting on the arm that was already hurting (the other WTC bombing).
The paperwork found in Iraq links Saddam and Osama.
9/11 families sue Iraq in federal court, and the judge agrees that Iraq was involved in 9/11.
That and more here:

In 2002, Howard Dean said “There’s no question Saddam Hussein is a threat to the United States and to our allies.”
Senator Carl Levin said “The war against terrorism will not be finished as long as [Saddam Hussein] is in power.”
Amazingly these same Democrats who looked at the same intelligence as the President and came to the same conclusions now want an investigation.
Maybe this investigation will reveal that they were brainwashed.
Or that, like John Kerry, they were for the war before they were against it for short-term political gain.
Either way, this kind of political doublespeak sends exactly the wrong message to our troops, to the Iraqis and to our terrorist enemies.
Aw' come on, everyone knows you can't believe what's printed in the newspapers. ;-)
Great post Peach, and I love your oh so true tag line!
