"Yawn. There never has been any evidence of "working ties" between Iraq and al Qaeda." I see you didn't read the Iraq Survey Group report, the Senate Intelligence Committee report or the 9/11 Commission report. Nor did you bother to read the links I posted here on the subject. If you had, you too would know how thoroughly inaccurate your assertions are. Oh & FWIW, your straw man arguments hold no water (that would include your inaccurate claims that "Iraq has nothing to do with the GWOT" & your equally faulty "working ties" assertion). Saddam was required to eliminate all ties to terrorism. Oh & perhaps you forgot but 9/11 changed how we tolerate rouge regimes that support, finance & harbor terrorists, particularly those with WMD programs...... The Gulf War Cease Fire Agreement - AKA - UN Resolution #687, was a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. That meant Saddam had to; 1) Completely eliminate every aspect of his WMD PROGRAMS (not just "stockpiles"). This included provisions for the complete destruction of all offensive weapons. This had to be done in a completely verifiable manner to UN Inspectors. 2) Saddam had to completely eliminate every tie to terrorists (internal & external). 3) Saddam had to completely halt his crimes against humanity. 4) Saddam had to make full reparations to Kuwait, ET AL. Now this was the short & sweet version. There were absolutely no provisions that allowed any deviation from each explicit requirement. It meant 100%, unconditional compliance. Every single UN Resolution, including Resolution 1441 was irrevocably tied to #687. Saddam spent more than 12 years in utter defiance of every one of the above requirements before Bush's so-called "rush to war". You know, where "Bush lied & misled" America into a "unilateral", "illegal" war to take over their oil for his Big Oil cronies?
