I never said Saddam had no connection to terrorism. It's impossible to prove a negative so I cannot say that.

What I am saying is that those connecting Saddam to terrorism present a weak, circumstantial case at odds with everything we know of Saddam.... certainly not enough of a case to justify a $200 billion war and 7,000 American soldiers dead and injured. Saddam was evil, no doubt, but there is no verifiable evidence that he ever participated in a terror attack against the United States.

Well before the video tapes of bin Laden boasting of his planning the 9/11 attacks were were found in Afghanistan, America had sufficient evidence to convince the world of bin Laden's guilt. Why was it so hard to convince the world with respect to Saddam and WMD or terror? Because, no matter how one cuts it, the evidence wasn't there.
