But try to find if Zinni or any other anti-war types were arguing beforehand that Syria and Iran would pour jihadis into Iraq. They were not, because it would have undermined their 'Saddam has nothing to do with Al Qaeda' argument.

I don't know if Zinni argued this, but I certainly did.

How on earth would the probability of Syria and Iran sending people to make trouble in occupied Iraq undermine the contention that Saddam was not a major player in the Al Qaeda equation? That's completely irrational. These people will take any opportunity to go after Americans, and if you put Americans or an American-supported regime on their doorstep, they will try to make a mess. That says absolutely nothing about Saddam's relations with AQ.
