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

You missed the entire point. See Bulldawg's post above.

Operational (standard English) - Working, viable.

Operational (Pentagon-ese) - A level of war involving Division-sized elements confined to a given geographical region, limited in size and scope, ie: Operation Desert Storm.

The headline of the story you posted is totally misleading and way off base. The report it cites is a Pentagon report, written in Pentagon lingo. It doesn't say there was "no link" it says there was no "direct operational link."

Given that al-Qaeda doesn't do conventional warfare, using division-sized maneuver elements, this is hardly surprising.

Non-news.

Ahh straight talk.

Thank god for johm McCain. :smilielol:

Are you kidding me? Because of 3 words than this search means nothing and is non-news.

Once again you derail a thread for semantics. The president and others are quoted as saying that there were direct links with saddam and Al-Queda. This is not true. I fail to see where the "term direct operational link" makes a lick of difference.
