The chief naysayer of the war in Iraq stops in to visit.
We have found sarin gas and mustard gas in Iraq in the last 14 days.
The thwarted WMD attack in Jordan was found to have VX nerve gas and 70 or so other chemicals, widely believed to come from Syria via Iraq.
Powell warned the UN pre-war that convoys of trucks were leaving Iraq for Syria with what was widely presumed to be WMD. The president did the right thing going to Iraq, especially given Saddam's decade old relationship with Osama bin Laden.
At the least Saddam knew 9/11 was coming, but you probably believe it was just backyard gossip that prompted OBL to let Saddam know about the coming attack.
Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)
In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”
The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden “will strike America on the arm that is already hurting,” and that the US “will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs” – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, “New York, New York”.
But if an attack happens in this country, you'll be first at the plate complaining we didn't stop it.
Be it far from me to be called the 'chief' naysayer. Those wiser than myself had to convince me.

So? They found a vial of botulism in a scientist's refrigerator. Don't hear Fox reporting that constantly anymore do you? Could it be it wasn't the WMDs that our Armed Forces went over there looking for? Wait a minute, they went over there to 'spread democracy'. Never mind, could you get back to me when the RNC makes up its mind what the latest excuse is?

This is what I love about you guys. Widely believed by who? Fox? National Review? The Weekly Standard? Could you provide some evidence of 'widely believed'? Because right now, it's 'widely believed', even by those in the administration, that the intelligence was wrong. It's just a few partisans like yourself that are going to hang onto this angle for decades

Of course even on the PNAC's own website, the letter by Al-Zarqawi debunks the myth that this decade long 'relationship' existed. What it does do, however, is to lament over the lack of Al Qaeda before and what needs to change moving forward
