I am shocked. All along liberals have claimed that Saddam had no connection with Al Qaeda...and if it were ever proved that he did...that they would fully support the war.

I haven't read that among the self described liberals on this forum, but perhaps they have at some point, that is of course, irrelevant to me.

Now we have proof that:
1. Saddam did have a relationship with Al Qaeda prior to 9/11

There's that weasel word yet again, relationship; that's strikingly similar to the words used by anti-self defense and the gun-confiscation lobby when they talk about most deaths being among acquaintances, based on FBI data that shows street gang victims and perps both know who the other is before the crime. The word is in fact meaningless with regard to Hussein governments non-involvement with Al Queda.

Let me state it for you again, maybe you missed it when I've written it in the past. The Iraqi government headed by Saddam Hussein never had an affiliation with Al Queda prior to 9/11/2001, never had a working affiliation, never encouraged, never participated with them in any way.

In fact, the Hussein government actively pursued Al Queda operatives, killing them when possible, just like they did with every other radical islamist seeking power in Iraq.

2. Saddam built several large training facilities to equip and train terrorists. The same type folks who attacked us on 9/11.

No, that's not true either, it's more Bush'ist propaganda being used in an attempt to gin up support for his collossal blunder in Iraq, and all across the mid-east.

Now, suddenly it is about WMD alone. Funny that all the liberals can do now is come to threads regarding the Al Qaeda connection and try to change the topic to WMD...LOL

Er, no, it's about a Bush'ist dream of world wide conquest on behalf of another country and for a cabal of neo-conservative mental defectives, as seen at their web site, Project for the New American Century, aka PNAC, wherein they openly discuss their plans and the need for a precipitating event such as occured on 9/11/2001.

The Iraq invasion was planned years ago, and was going to happen no matter what intelligence proved or disproved.

Frankly, your support for these monsters is appalling.
