Lol.

"We could never verify that there was any Iraqi authority, direction and control, complicity with al-Qaeda for 9/11 or any operational act against America, period."

Director of Central Intelligence, George Tenet.

So again, where is the evidence.

Doesn’t anyone get bored with this old Iraq war nonsense? It strikes me that the only people left that care are trendy Groniad reads, lefty Labour party folk and namby-pamby peace campaigners. Yawn!

Well to honest I DO care and I'm not a peace campaigner or left wing or any other in your list.
We are witnessing yet another round of imperialism in Lybia by NATO including the UK and America in taking sides in a civil war and arming that side and providing substantial military intervention in order to effect regime change of a sovreign state under the guise that they are only protecting unarmed civilians which is an absolute load of ******!

We should care what our governments do in our name as it's us that will have to pay the price when countries like Iran quite understandably arm themselves with WMD's to protect themselves against our governments and their imperialist motives.

It says we could never verify so that means not proven it is obvious he did though.

You said Saddam Hussein did not plan or participate in the attack on the World Trade Centre. You seem 100% sure he had nothing to do with it.

There is no evidence to support the view that Saddam Husein had anythng to do with 9/11, none.

Given his non existent relationship with Al Qaeda or any Islamist group, it is highly unlikely that he would have entertained any such cooperation. In fact the US Senate and the CIA both put forward evidence that the Hussein Regime had rejected several attempts by Al Qaeda to formalise any kind of relationship prior to the 2003 invasion.

In 2005, the US Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that there was no formal links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda and that the regime played no part in any Al Qaeda operations prior to the 2003 invasion.

It said that the Iraqi Regime and Al Qaeda were ideologically poles apart, and that the Iraqi Government did not have a reltionship with, harbour or turn a blind eye towards Zarqawi or his associates.

It stated that Saddam Hussein was distrustful of al-Qaeda and viewed Islamic extremists as a threat to his regime, refusing all requests from al-Qaeda to provide material or operational support, the Iraqi regime had repeatedly rejected al-Qaeda requests for meetings.

The report from the committee also reffered to the role played by inaccurate information supplied by Iraqi opposition groups in the run-up to the war.

So no, it is not obvious that he did, quite the opposite in fact. It is obvious that he did not.
