Pretty lame article.

Iraq violated the cease fire terms, tried to assasinate Bush I, snubbed it's nose at multiple UN resolutions, had been shooting at our planes for years, and maniupulated the aid for oil program for his own personal advantage at the expense of the Iraqi people, and was guilty of human rights abuses, and so on and so forth.

I don't think Bush needed to try to link Iraq to terrorism.
But from a strategic point of view, I see how ousting Saddam was a brilliant move for shaking up the Middle East and going a the root cause of the terrorism problem - oppressive and backward governments blaming the west for all their dysfunction.

Points many seem to have forgotten.
