CG,

See my comments re PM.

"that no such DIRECT linkage had ever been made"

And YOU have shown no DIRECT linkage between those post-war reports and the pre-war intelligence that the UN resolutions, and subsequent invasion, were based on. Using the words Iraq and Al-queda in the same paragraph is not direct linkage.

Did Saddam support terrorists LIKE those who committed 9/11? The answer is YES- he provided support to suicide bombers. KNOWN FACT

Did Saddam have an active WMD program? YES- as shown in captured documentation, as well as the U.N. reports

Was Saddam in violation of the cease-fire terms of the Kuwait war? YES, as stated by the UN reports and numerous U. N. resolutions.
