Of course, the claims of a link between al Qaeda and Saddam's Iraq have long been disproven. After all, Zarqawi was operating in northeast Iraq, in an area that was not under Saddam Hussein's control, rather Kurdish control. Finally, Zarqawi's organization was independent of al Qaeda and, some argue, actually at odds with bin Laden. Though Zarqawi made his foothold in northern Iraq prior to the U.S. led occupation, the group "al Qaeda in Iraq" did not exist prior to the invasion. In fact, he only swore fealty to bin Laden in 2004, using the al Qaeda moniker to gain recruits and finances.
