Cheney reasserts Saddam link to al-Qaida . [What is it with this guy? It's not only unbelievable there's Americans who still believe him, and in him, it's unbelievable a guy like this could be holding the second most powerful position in the world. Both Cheney and Rush are a disgrace to the people of the United States - A] . Fri Apr 6, 4:35 PM ET (AP) Vice President Dick Cheney repeated his assertions of al-Qaida links to Saddam Hussein's Iraq on Thursday as the Defense Dept released a report citing more evidence that the prewar government did not cooperate with the terrorist group. Cheney contended that al-Qaida was operating in Iraq before the March 2003 invasion led by U.S. forces and that terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was leading the Iraqi branch of al-Qaida. Others in al-Qaida planned the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. "He took up residence there before we ever launched into Iraq, organized the al-Qaida operations inside Iraq before we even arrived on the scene and then, of course, led the charge for Iraq until we killed him last June," Cheney told radio host Rush Limbaugh during an interview. "As I say, they were present before we invaded Iraq." However, a declassified Pentagon report released Thursday said that interrogations of the deposed Iraqi leader and two of his former aides as well as seized Iraqi documents confirmed that the terrorist organization and the Saddam government were not working together before the invasion. The Sept. 11 Commission's 2004 report also found no evidence of a collaborative relationship between Saddam and Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network during that period. news.yahoo.com
