>>Your example is a poor one. What if John is your brother in-law, using your money for his "business"?

re:"That doesn't demonstrate a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda."

"If I do business with John, and you do business with John, that doesn't mean that I do business with you"

"The Abu Sayyaf group (in the Philippines) was founded with a lot of assistance from the al Qaeda group. Specifically, the brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden helped found it,"<<

DavesM -

Well, if true, that demonstrates a connection between Abu Sayyaf and Al Qaeda. But we're not talking about Saddam Hussein's brother in law. How does that bolster the case for an Al Qaeda/Hussein connection, particularly given the many anti-Hussein statements made over the years by Bin Laden and other Islamic fundamentalist terrorists?

It doesn't.
