This is a little off topic, but did anybody see Senator Inhofe on Hardball last night hold up a TopSecret Iraqi Intell document (from 1992 I believe) linking Iraq and al Qaeda. Mathews was dumbfounded when the Senator said to him that links between Saddam and al Qaeda was essentially a "settled" matter.

I saw it. He took care to point out the difference between saying there's a connection between Saddam and 9/11 and the fact that Iraq had links to Al Qaeda, and that the two issues are constantly interchanged as denying the latter.

This is the "War on Terror" not the "War on the People who Blew Up The WTC"

"I saw it. He took care to point out the difference between saying there's a connection between Saddam and 9/11 and the fact that Iraq had links to Al Qaeda, and that the two issues are constantly interchanged as denying the latter."

YES YES YES! I am so glad someone made this point. It drives me nuts when a conservative on one of these talking head shows makes the point that there was a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda, and the liberal screams "Even the President says there was no provable Iraqi connection to 9-11."
