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 Come now, that's disingenous. You know as well as I do that the argument was widely made that the secular Saddam would never have anything to do with the Islamists and vice-versa. Therefore Saddam could not possbily be funding Ansar al Islam or working with Al Quaeda, no way. Arguing that the Ba'athists and Al Qaeda were prepared to become close allies as soon as the Americans invaded would have undercut that contention.
