But... but...

The moron peaceniks say that there is no connection between OBL/Al Qaeda because Iraq is a SECULAR country, and OBL hated Saddam!

Of course, subsequent and current events show that secular claim to be totally invalid. And OBL himself met with Saddam's chem/bio chief in the mid 890's.

The connections between OBL and Saddam go back over 10 years, were written about by the mainstream press during the 90's and acknowledged by former CIA director Woolsey and hundreds of others.

It is something the administration should discuss more often as it would bolster support for the war in Iraq. Why they do not discuss this matter more often is beyond me and it's a tactical mistake, imo.

Al D'Amato on Fox last night laid out some Al Qaeda/Iraq connections and had Susan Estrich squawking big time.
