I agree with the Administration's assessment of the relationship, not with the treasonous fellows who made otherwise rational people fall for the discredited nonsense from Chalabi. Who's side are you on?

According to your link in post 84, Powell, although stating he has see nothing concrete, believes that SH/AQ links exist. This is your position?

Imagine yourself as the president. What would you have done after the first WTC bombing to prevent the second? I submit to you that unless it was bold, conspiratorial,controversial, unprecedented, unauthorized by the U.N. or the French, involved Marines and a lot of funding it wouldn't have prevented anything. If you agree, then the question is did the President's bold strike to Iraq prevent future death to Americans on American soil? If you disagree, the question is how does a "conservative" president know what is regional terrorism and what is global terrorism?

"I agree with the Administration's assessment of the relationship"
Then you agree with this:
"Usama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein had an operational relationship from the early 1990s to 2003 that involved training in explosives and weapons of mass destruction, logistical support for terrorist attacks, Al Qaeda training camps and safe haven in Iraq, and Iraqi financial support for Al Qaeda - perhaps even for Mohamed Atta - according to a top secret U.S. government memorandum"
http://www.intelmessages.org/Messages/National_Security/wwwboard/messages_03/6260.html Cheney said on Sunday "Its not surprising" the public would believe Saddam was involved in the attacks, blamed on the al Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden, who has repeatedly praised the attacks.
"We dont know," Cheney said. "Weve learned a couple of things. We learned more and more that there was a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the 90;s."
Bush said Cheney was right about suspicions of an Iraq-al Qaeda link, citing the case of Jordanian Abu Musab Zarqawi, a leader of an Islamic group in northern Iraq called Ansar al-Islam believed to have links to al Qaeda."
http://www.intelmessages.org/Messages/National_Security/wwwboard/messages_03/5584.html I am glad you agree with this administration assessments that there is clear evidence of Saddam-Al Qaeda links.
