No proof links Iraq, al-Qaida, Powell says

[Peach]

That link doesn't quite say what you think it says, or didn't you read it?

The headline is typical leftist spin, but the comments contained within by both the president and Powell are quite different than what you have presented.

One example of several:

“I have not seen smoking gun, concrete evidence about the connection, but I do believe the connections existed,” he said.

I fell like I'm debating a Young Earth Creationist when I debate with you, John: you like to move goal posts. Tell me, what type of evidence would make you recant your assertion that no AQ/SH links exist?

"No proof links Iraq, al-Qaida, Powell says"

The title of the article says no proof links Iraq, Al-Qaida, but Secretary Powell actually said: “I have not seen smoking gun, concrete evidence about the connection, but I do believe the connections existed,” he said.

In other words, the author of this piece put words in Powell's mouth.
