The significant bankrolling of suicide bombers in the Territories made Saddam one of the key impediments to peace between Israel and Palestine, and showed how genocidal his intentions towards Israel were. The Hamas connection was well documented, but it seemed reasonable that he had a hand in other pots. There was also a list of reports of contacts between Iraqi Intelligence and Al Qaeda, mostly unconfirmed, but too many to ignore, which included the report of Iraqi intelligence agents going to Afghanistan to train AQ in chemical warfare - and we know from the videotapes that AQ did practice the use of gas in Afghanistan. There was also the terrorist training camp in Salman Pak (complete with Boeing airliner), with multiple reports of non-Iraqis training there for missions. Altogether, for those able to look more than 5 inches down the road, the working relationship was not one that the US wanted to just let alone and see what happened. Especially not after 9/11. It's curious that the de facto alliance of the Left and the Islamo-fascists (GST is a prime example of whatever opinions are foremost in this alliance) forces the Left to defend Saddam as an innocent lamb.
