I’d like to thank Ron Paul for linking Al Queda and Iraq.

[Christopher Lincoln]

Yes, he did; but that’s not the only link. Why were U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia? There were there at the request - rather, the appeal - of the Saudi government, which was moved by the well founded fear of Iraqi aggression. Osama bin Laden was, even then, on the side of Iraq against his own country.
