"I agree with the Administration's assessment of the relationship"


Then you agree with this:

"Usama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein had an operational relationship from the early 1990s to 2003 that involved training in explosives and weapons of mass destruction, logistical support for terrorist attacks, Al Qaeda training camps and safe haven in Iraq, and Iraqi financial support for Al Qaeda - perhaps even for Mohamed Atta - according to a top secret U.S. government memorandum"

Cheney said on Sunday "It‘s not surprising" the public would believe Saddam was involved in the attacks, blamed on the al Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden, who has repeatedly praised the attacks.

"We don‘t know," Cheney said. "We‘ve learned a couple of things. We learned more and more that there was a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the 90;s."

Bush said Cheney was right about suspicions of an Iraq-al Qaeda link, citing the case of Jordanian Abu Musab Zarqawi, a leader of an Islamic group in northern Iraq called Ansar al-Islam believed to have links to al Qaeda."

I am glad you agree with this administration assessments that there is clear evidence of Saddam-Al Qaeda links.

LOL, the Feith Memo treasonously "leaked" to the Weakly Standard? Isn't the Weekly Standard for Kerry, now? Are you for Kerry now?

I agree with the Administration that there is no link between Saddam and 9/11 and any "link" between AQ and the Iraq government was through a separate entity called Ansar al-Islam. The nature of the relationship between Ansar al-Islam and Saddam's government was minimal and non-operational.
