I do rely on the facts. It's amazing that nothing you've offered actually refutes what I've said (and even supports it), and you don't see it.

Re: "In March 1998, after Bin Ladin's public fatwa against the United States, two al Qaeda members reportedly went to Iraq to meet with Iraqi intelligence. In July, an Iraqi delegation traveled to Afghanistan to meet first with the Taliban and then with Bin Ladin. Sources reported that one, or perhaps both, of these meetings was apparently arranged through Bin Ladin's Egyptian deputy, Zawahiri, who had ties of his own to the Iraqis."

This isn't proof of Iraq's participation in 911, and the testimony that Saudis trained on a fuselage in Iraq isn't proof either.

I remain glad we've gone to Iraq, and see that it was certainly for our own good.

Re: "Iraqi officials offered Bin Ladin a safe haven in Iraq."

Re: "The reports describe friendly contacts and indicate some common themes in both sides' hatred of the United States."

The bottom line is that while we can't know what was discussed and/or arranged in meetings between Al Qaeda and Iraq, what we do know about this is enough to condemn Iraq as a supporting state, which plainly and simply also, by its own information ministers' words, it was.
