Because people have an unfortunate habit here of just repeating what they want to believe to each other over and over and over again.
I said "Al Queda" not "Terrorists." Not all terrorists are Al Queda members.
The camp SE of Baghdad appears to be connected to Palestinian terrorist groups.
Al Queda had camps, and plenty of them in Afghanistan. There was no particular reason for them to train in Iraq. For all the obsession over the aircraft at Salman Pak, there is no evidence that a single 9/11 hijacker has EVER set foot in Iraq; most were from Saudi Arabia, spent time in Afghanistan, Europe, and the pilots trained in the United States.
And I supported the war on Iraq. However, it's become some sort of ideological test here to blindly believe that Iraq and Al Queda were very closely tied.
Also the stockpile of suicide belts found in Iraq.
As do all muslim countries. Where the hell do you think Bin Laden is, Disneyland?
