The case I though was bad as a selling point was that we had to go to war because Iraq was about to get into an lliance with al-Qaeda.

About to? We have broken up several of their training camps within Iraq since the end of the war. But even that was not the case that was made- the main case was a long term defiance of the UN resolutions and a breach of the terms of the cease fire agreement that ended the first Gulf War. Only a side part of the case was that Iraq was a state that was aiding and abetting terrorists-- and it was. The very first night of the war, for instance, a Palestinian terrorist was killed in the bombing that was aimed at Saddam-- the group itself said so.

And as it turns out, that danger of an Iraqi al Qaeda alliance was not as far fetched as some made it out to be.

Since the war we have seen more and more evidence of a connection, and it seems Bush was ahead of the curve on this as well.
