"The source of the previous "quote" is a press conference on September 25, 2004." And this "quote" convinced how many American citizens in the run up to the US led invasion of Iraq? Unfortunately the dates seem to be a bit wrong for that, his quote came 18 months too late. With regard to your other "quotes".

GWB, weekly radio address, February 8, 2003: Here he is referring to intelligence presented to Bill Clinton, which the latter used to justify the cruise missile attacks on Sudan and Afghanistan.

GWB May 1, 2003, speech aboard the Lincoln (under the banner – remember?): In line with what he clearly stated in the 2002 State of the Union Address.

GWB Press conference, June 17, 2004: Intelligence dating back to the Clinton Administration, the reason they launched a cruise missile at a powdered milk factory.

As to your question....."Do you really still believe he never tried to say there was a link between Saddam and Al Quaeda?"

When? between 11th September 2001 and 20th March 2003, or between 20th March to present. During the former period they were very clear to point out that Iraq had nothing to do with the 911 attacks.

Since the invasion, Zarqawi's statements and actions have been the best confirmation ot the link between Al-Qaeda and Iraq.
