From this article:
9-11 Report concluded there WERE ties between Iraq and al Qaeda:
“Rice’s chief staffer on Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, concurred in its conclusion that only some anecdotal evidence linked Iraq to al Qaeda”. That means there was some evidence linking the two. Anecdotal evidence is still evidence. Don’t expect Al Qaeda and Iraq to keep the exhaustive records and memos of a U.S. tobacco company.
There’s more: “It passed along a few foreign intelligence reports, including the Czech report alleging an April 2001 Prague meeting between Atta and an Iraqi intelligence officer (discussed in chapter 7) and a Polish report that personnel at the headquarters of Iraqi intelligence in Baghdad were told before September 11 to go on the streets to gauge crowd reaction to an unspecified event.” That is evidence of a link. It may not be videotape of bin Laden and Saddam together at the National Prayer Breakfast, but it’s evidence nonetheless. And by the way, it’s more evidence than we have of a link between Cheney and Halliburton’s Iraq contracts.
THERE WERE WMD's in Iraq: Here is a news report that states quite clearly that warheads containing sarin nerve agent were found in Iraq by Polish troops. Here’s an entirely separate incident of an exploded shell containing sarin.
Sarin is a weapon of mass destruction. It was in Iraq. Therefore there was a weapon of mass destruction in Iraq. A single instance of a thing disproves its nonexistence. The fact that liberals can’t reach this conclusion reveals how horrible liberal arts education is in this country.
These stories are evidence that BUSH WAS CORRECT AND DID NOT LIE. It doesn’t matter whether Saddam lost track of them, or that they were discarded. In fact, that’s worse, because it means that Saddam didn’t have to be working with Islamic terrorists for them to get weapons of mass destruction from Iraq....Someone grew, cultured, and weaponized anthrax here in the United States, attacked NBC and CBS News, and nonetheless tens of thousands of people at the FBI, CDC, and local law enforcement agencies haven’t found the lab that produced it in the three years they’ve been looking. Considering that a chemistry set and some petri dishes are all that is required to grow anthrax, explain to me how a few hundred bureaucrats that lollygagged around less than half of Iraq in a few months are able to conclude there aren’t any biological weapons?
The article is very long, but factually dissects the most important myths about iraq.
Take a look at this. Ping

The President must make these points clear.

I am a big fan of John Batchelor (WABC in NYC) and a few nights ago there was a guest who had been in Iraq and came across documents that definitely confirmed a WMD program and an Al Qaida connection. I am surprised it hasn't hit the papers at all. I am sure they would find alot more info among all the stuff that's sitting in boxes and on tapes waiting to be translated from Arabic (Urdu and Pashto too) into English. Even among papers who are supportive of the President are just regurgitating the White House line...which really doesn't do anything to convince the unconvinced.
Saddam didn't yet have the weapons the whole world believed he had. He never stopped wanting them and was just waiting for the sanctions to come off. He was bribing countries to get them lifted. If we didn't act because these bribed countries were flunking us on the "global test", the sanctions would be gone. Saddam would be producing mustard gas in a little as three months. His nuclear program was hidden underground, just waiting for him to snap his fingers.
he did have weapons, just has been able to conceal them so far and the MSM wont follow leads we have to point them to this conclusion ... Bush is up against the Kerry/DNC tribe, the MSM, and the terrorists ... if Bush wins, it will be the greatest single-showing ever for a U.S. Pres who has so much against him!

What's amazing about the msnbc article is it states that "no weaons of mass destruction have been found" by the ISG, but the ISG report, volume 3, page 30, on the CIA website, states the 53 chemical weapons have been found including 41 122mm rockets at a single site containing sarin/cyclosarin. I think I must be having a bad dream. AP lead story is "Bush admits no WMDs in Iraq" and the fact is there was an actual STOCKPILE, 41 weapons found.
