You right winged jack ass, September 11, 2001 was done by al-Qaida...
What
does that have to do with an unjust war in Iraq?


In February 2003, Colin Powell made the case before the UN that al
Zaqawi
was in control of an Iraqi al Qaeda group.


Much as I respect Powell's intellect, the fact is that whether
innocently or in collusion with the Bush-****ters, he presented a
significant amount of false or incorrect intel to the UN and others.


It seems as if he was pretty accurate, however, about al Zaqawi and the al
Qaeda faction already in northeastern Iraq prior to the war.



Haven't you figured out by now that much of the intel on which the
Bush-****ters rely is just plain bad, or false? And, worse, among the
intel pickings the Bush-****ters see, they tend to believe and endorse
that which seems to support their concepts of war-mongering and dismiss
that which should point them in a different direction.

In summary, it is clear that when it comes to intel, we don't have much
that is reliable, and to the guys in the Bush-****ter administration who
are "interpreting" it, well, that simply doesn't matter.

I'm still convinced that the bulk of the WMD stockpiles were destroyed or
hidden in the sand just prior to the war...and the remainder of the bio and
chemical technology (the stuff that was easier to transport discreetly) was
shipped to Syria.

But this discussion isn't about the WMD claims. It's about Powell stating
that al Zaqawi was al Qaeda's leader operating in Iraq prior to the war.
Now the guy is blowing up oil rigs off the coast, pil pipelines in the
desert, and kidnapping and beheading Westerners. I'd say that's a pretty
strong smoking gun showing that al Qaeda was in Iraq working with Hussein
(or at least with his knowledge) prior to our invasion.
