You can assert it all you want, but that doesn't make it true.

I submit for the following my take on the AlQ<>Hussein connection, from my limited but extensive study of the public evidence:

If I were on a jury in a murder case and had similar evidence presented to me, I would:
• Vote GUILTY
• Vote NO death penalty

There is clearly enough public evidence of AlQ<>Hussein to make that guilty call. There is clearly sufficient other evidence of serious wrong doing by SH to have taken him out completely.

Now you are just running misdirection. I haven't claimed that there wasn't any evidence of a connection. I did challenge your contention that the Kurds didn't control NE Iraq. You claimed they didn't, and you have not posted a shred of evidence in support of that claim.
