Sources for those facts were already posted on this thread.

• 5. Iraq's nuclear weapons program.
• 6. Iraq's biological weapons program.
• 7. Iraq's chemical weapons program.
• 8. Saddam's extensive cooperation with terrorists.

But why respond to that at all? You've already said they are meaningless to you.

First of all, I would not consider anything "factual" if it comes out of a U.S. intelligence report of any kind. It might be true, but after the events of the last few months it is no more credible than what you'd find in the New York Times or on CNN.

Secondly, there's an interesting item in the last link that directly contradicts any claim of cooperation between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.

And last of all ... One of the claims made in that last link is that Saddam Hussein had drafted a plan to overthrow the Saudi royal family in 2001. Was there a downside to this?
