Ok how about the Washington times:

http://www.washtimes.com/national/20...2921-3401r.htm

how about this one:

http://www.nationalreview.com/mccart...0506290912.asp

some bullets from it:

The Clinton Justice Department's allegation in a 1998 indictment (two months before the embassy bombings) against bin Laden, to wit: In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq.


Seized Iraq Intelligence Service records indicating that Saddam's henchmen regarded bin Laden as an asset as early as 1992?


Saddam's hosting of al Qaeda No. 2, Ayman Zawahiri beginning in the early 1990’s, and reports of a large payment of money to Zawahiri in 1998?

The continued insistence of high-ranking Clinton administration officials to the 9/11 Commission that the 1998 retaliatory strikes (after the embassy bombings) against a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory were justified because the factory was a chemical weapons hub tied to Iraq and bin Laden?

Top Clinton administration counterterrorism official Richard Clarke’s assertions, based on intelligence reports in 1999, that Saddam had offered bin Laden asylum after the embassy bombings, and Clarke’s memo to then-National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, advising him not to fly U-2 missions against bin Laden in Afghanistan because he might be tipped off by Pakistani Intelligence, and “[a]rmed with that knowledge, old wily Usama will likely boogie to Baghdad”? (See 9/11 Commission Final Report, p. 134 & n.135.)

If it was about the Oil then why are our companies not in their pumping the fields dry right now. Also if that were the case, then it would drive the price of a barrel of oil down, as Opec has alot to do with setting the price. Again show me some concrete proof .

Wouldn't be the first time.

The article certainly doesn't support your position.

Why do internal CIA documents state such a relationship to be unlikely given the differing motivations?

Why is it that the Sept. 11 commission found no "collaborative relationship" between Iraq and al Qaeda at all?

Why do internal CIA documents state such a relationship to be unlikely given the differing motivations?

Why is it that the Administration, who used a Saddam/Bin Laden nexus as the centerpiece of their justification for war has yet to offer any real evidence?

Remember Cheney stating it was "pretty much confirmed" that Atta met with Iraqi agents in Prague? Well, the intel now shows he was in the good old USA when that meeting occured.

Sorry, but I need to see some facts, not conservative opinion.
