Don't give me, "It depends on what the meaning of 'is,' is" legalistic garbage. Do you really, seriously deny that the Husseins and al-Qaeda had any ties? The 9/11 Commission doesn't.

Here's a dictionary definition that seems to easily meet the "ties" standard.

tie ( P ) Pronunciation Key (t)
v. tied, ty·ing, (tng) ties
v. tr.
To fasten or secure with or as if with a cord, rope, or strap: tied the kite to a post; tie up a bundle.
To fasten by drawing together the parts or sides and knotting with strings or laces: tied her shoes.

To make by fastening ends or parts: tie a knot.
To put a knot or bow in: tie a neck scarf.
To confine or restrict as if with cord: duties that tied him to the office.
To bring together in relationship; connect or unite: friends who were tied by common interests; people who are tied by blood or marriage.

To equal (an opponent or an opponent's score) in a contest.
