Iraq & al-Qaeda: Is There a Link? TIME Monday, Aug. 26, 2002 BY ROMESH RATNESAR Nice post, Jochen. Thanks. The issues raised by this Time writer are strong ones. Looking carefully at the ways to link Al Qaeda and Saddam, his questions are well done. And he examines the arguments very carefully. I am still most concerned by this paragraph on invading to safe face, a point I have made before. The hard-liners seem to think that by repeating this kind of unsubstantiated speculation, they can force Bush to stick to his vow to take on Saddam - even though, as White House aides insisted last week, he still does not have a plan for doing so. "Some people are, by design, trying to put him into a corner on this," says an official who works on Iraq policy. "They're arguing that if we don't attack, Saddam will win yet again because of the harm that will do to American credibility."
