Check it out... the vultures jumped right on it:

No way i'll fall for it. We know for a fact Saddam was connected to AlQ and no amount of brainwashing from the media can change the facts. Leaks like this (from those who can't say terrorist or write one good piece from Iraq), is a huge part of killing the morale of our military and inside the country; As well as their trumpeting the filibusters and blockages of dems against the Patriot Act, the borders, interrogation and anything else to fight this war.
I can never take the word of the NYT... in fact I think the opposite... they start with bad intentions and haven't learned their lesson yet.
Do these people think that Saddam would not be funding terrorists as in the past? They continue to ignore all the documented evidence (huge piles of it), because the average Joe or Jane is too lazy or doesn't make time to use their brains and check for themselves. The resolutions, plane shots, gassing of Kurds and funding of terror was enough even if we had nothing. Look for the correction in their snips of the report on G23, in a bottom corner of one paragraph, on Thursday.
I guess the party line will go back to 'instead of going to the 'Stan and taking care of that, we have two failed wars'... expect columns from the dems on how they can fight the war better now... Hillary and Kerry first of course.
From bin Laden's 1996 fatwa entitled "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places."
"It is out of date and no longer acceptable to claim that the presence of the crusaders is necessity and only a temporary measures to protect the land of the two Holy Places. Especially when the civil and the military infrastructures of Iraq were savagely destroyed showing the depth of the Zionist-Crusaders hatred to the Muslims and their children,...."
"The youths hold you responsible for all of the killings and evictions of the Muslims and the violation of the sanctities, carried out by your Zionist brothers in Lebanon; you openly supplied them with arms and finance. More than 600,000 Iraqi children have died due to lack of food and medicine and as a result of the unjustifiable aggression (sanction) imposed on Iraq and its nation. The children of Iraq are our children. You, the USA, together with the Saudi regime are responsible for the shedding of the blood of these innocent children. Due to all of that, what ever treaty you have with our country is now null and void.
Bin Laden's own words show the linkage between Iraq and AQ. Your excellent translations are proof that there were concrete contacts between AQ and Iraqi intelligence. The 9/11 Commission says there were contacts between them and the Joint Congressional Resolution says that, "Whereas members of al-Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq;"

Many have provided numerous links, but Peach did a stunning compilation. Most of you have probably seen this, but if not - check out Peach's hard work on this link below). On this same thread, Stretch Pelosi said the following (DNC taling points. They've blamed Bush for not getting UBL, too (maybe 1 of the reasons Bubba was so determined to try to get everyone to believe that he was they only one that tried). Wonder what they'll say if it is proven that UBL is really dead/dying:
"The war in Iraq is the wrong war. No matter how many times the president wants to say it, the war in Iraq is not the war on terror. The war in Afghanistan was."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made that comment Wednesday in a speech on the House floor. She was blasting a Republican resolution marking the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks."
