Question: is Saddam "harboring" Al Q? Answer, completely unclear.
...You are trying to introduce a different topic.

I see. Palestinian terrorists count, until somebody tries to argue that they are evidence for taking action, when all of a sudden only Al Qaeda counts.

This is not a different topic, it's the same topic -- has Saddam worked with terrorists? Has he given WMDs to terrorists? You keep saying there is no evidence, so we should do nothing about Iraq.

If the answer to these questions is yes (and now the first is definitely yes, and the second yes with high probability), then who cares if Saddam backed 9/11 specifically? The threat of Saddam using his friendly terrorists to stage another 9/11 is too high to bear. It's you who are changing topics by saying that we can only focus on Al Qaeda, nothing else.

This war is not about taking revenge for 9/11. It's about preventing the next 9/11. We're not fighting just Al Qaeda. We're fighting terrorism and militant islam, and those regimes that sponsor them.
