There are Al Qeada forces in Iraq, but in the part of Iraq controlled by the Kurds and not Saddam, and I have not seen any reports that Saddam is aiding them.

So YOU say!

I don't have access to classified information and DOUBT that you do either. The president, on the other hand DOES and said just the opposite the other day while speaking to the UN.

Nothing personal, but I THINK I'll take his word over yours if you don't mind!

No he did not. He said they're in Iraq, which is well known. He did not assert that they were in areas under Saddam's control.

Now perhaps there is classified evidence of Al Qeada being in parts of Iraq under Saddam's control. But since it is classified, you don't know it either, and hence I cannot see how you can possibly justify an invasion of Iraq as being part of the war on terrorism.
