I can’t see how Al-Qaeda version makes Bush guilty.
And maybe there was another party behind 9/11 but I see absolutely no evidence to prove it.
OBL took responsibility, hijackers belongs to places there Wahabism is widespread and Al-Qaeda has much influence.
It is extremely unlikely if Saddam, Q-duffy or Iranian mullahs did it.

It's kind of hard to ignore Zarqawis' associates operating in Baghdad before the war- they brutally murdered a nun there. While technically "not" official al Qaeda, Zarqawis' group's camp was next to bin Laden's in Afghanistan and the two groups shared personnel on occasion. It's kind of hard to ignore the main perp of the 1993 WTC bombing sitting in Baghdad receiving a pension from the regime. It's kind of hard to ignore al Qaeda meeting with Iraqi intel and Iranians IRG in Sudan as guests of Hassan Tourabi, who also had visits with the Palestinian islamic jihad folks here in Florida. It's kind of hard to ignore al Qaeda's operatives being harbored by Iran. It's kind of hard to ignore he Iraqi operative in Malaysia helping the USS Cole plotters, and hard to ignore that the USS Cole was bombed precisely because of its role in sanctions on Iraq. It's kind of hard to ignore the thankfully failed attack on the hotel that was hosting US personnel on their way to Iraq. It's kind of hard to ignore the money laundering routes shared by both al Qaeda and Iraq and the same players, and the same "charities."

It's kind of hard to ignore that Iraqi intel service's documents referencing meetings between Iraqi intel services and al Qaeda and its subsidiaries. It's kind of hard to ignore the involvement of the Philippine group Abu Sayyaf and Iraq's embassy officials in the murder of our soldiers, and kind of hard to ignore aid to Ansar al Islam, later known as al Qaeda in Iraq, and so on. Hard to ignore abu Nidal being in Iraq, even if he did "commit suicide" by shooting himself everal times. Hard to ignore the capture of US embassy bombing perps, USS Cole bombing perps, and so on being captured in Iraq by our fgorces.

Hard to ignore Iraq's provision of training to al Qaeda personnel in arious skills. Hard to ignore that iraqi intel actually operated inside the US, assassinating naturalized American citizens, and intimidating former Iraqi citizens with personalized threats featuring videos of relatives back home, while al Qaeda was fighting us too.

No one said Iraq had direct control over 9/11 but there is no doubt Iraq and al Qaeda had mutual agreements and had provided assistance to one another at different times.

What's funny is people thinking that a terrorist group can operate for decades without any state backing.
