<You can not comprehend> What arrogant bullroar. The same arrogant bullroar that made people like you insist to the bitter end that Iraq was awash with WMD. Your fantasies are of no use to us in fighting the war on terror. We were right in the middle of getting the job done in Afghanistan and diverting our attention to Iraq when we did was the most stupid move we could have made. As a result we never got the job done and instead created a quagmire that has kept us sinking into an ever deepening pit that has done more to promote terrorism than anything else we could have done. To call the invasion stupid from a national security standpoint is the understatement of the year. Aside from the moral bankruptcy of this invasion, it was sheer incompetence from a military perspective.

I personally saw accounting slips for the purchase of car bombs to be used against Saudi Arabia and a number of documents detailing involvment with Senior Al Qai'da leadership like Zawahiri.

You read Arabic, do you? Maybe you should publish translations of these documents. I'm sure the WSJ will publish them. Even, I dare say, the NYT. And Time. And Newsweek. Is the administration keeping them secret because it would be dangerous to the national security to publish these links?

Your claims are, shall we say, a little implausible, since surely the Bush admin would be allowing third parties to see and publish these documents so that all of us would then apologize to them for saying they had only unsubstantiated allegations from Chalabi and like minded individuals on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam.
