Exhaustive review sponsored by the Pentagon finds NO link between Saddam, al Qaida

I would say cooperate, finance, lend logistical support. Saddam was more than willing to use terrorist organizations that coincided with his objectives.

On this, and many other threads, the argument has been made that Saddam had zero ties to al Qaeda. Clearly, if these documents are to be believed, that is not the case. It still leaves open to debate whether the Administration significantly overstated their case regarding Saddam's ties to terrorists, in their zeal to remove Saddam. But the is a distinct difference between overstating a case, and complete fabrication.

Intention does not comport with reality. It's amazing how many are willing to spin this issue to death. Put another way, your basically arguing that "zero" connection is a fabrication, and that the very tenous links he had with Al-Queda include "intending" to cooperate, fincance, and lend logistical support to Al-Queda somehow justifies the misleading statements the administration made before the war on this issue.

It's spin; you should actually work for the Bush administration, because I admit, it's beautiful work.

Again, it goes back to were the links strong enough to warrant an invasion? No.
And did was the administration misleading about overstating the link between Al-Queda and Hussein? Yes.
