"There has never been a question that Saddam's government had "links" (an ill defined term) to terrorism. Why are you moving the 'goal posts'?"

That Saddam supported al Qaeda terrorists wasn't questioned?

A link to al Qaeda is pretty significant, and far more important than the search for stockpiles of wmd's. Reason enough to go to war, even if that vial of botulinium is all they ever find.

You posted 'terrorism' not A-Q.

If the author or you are privy to information about a connection between Saddam's government and AQ I suggest you get to the CIA right away.

The American intelligence community barring the Office of Special Plans, have already called allegations of an extensive relationship bunk, and the Weekly Standard, a traitorous magazine, has already labeled one of their articles the smoking gun, so I can assume they have ceased even caring if they over use cliches.
