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.
