No Connection, Indeed

My friends on the left insist on telling me that there is no connection between Iraq and the 9/11. My answer has always been that there are good reasons to believe that there could be connections and that we really need to wait to truly find the answer.

Regardless, President Bush didn't convince me that invading Iraq was the right thing because of a direct connection to 9/11. It's starting to look like he could have.

Although Iraqi officials refused to disclose how and where they had obtained the document, Dr Ayad Allawi, a member of Iraq's ruling seven-man Presidential Committee, said the document was genuine.

"We are uncovering evidence all the time of Saddam's involvement with al-Qaeda," he said. "But this is the most compelling piece of evidence that we have found so far. It shows that not only did Saddam have contacts with al-Qaeda, he had contact with those responsible for the September 11 attacks."

This is not conclusive, of course, but those who submit that there absolutely was no connection might just be talking themselves into a corner.

Read the rest.

And a tip of the hat to Steve at Begging to Differ.
