"At the Federal Bureau of Investigation, some investigators said they were baffled by the Bush administration's insistence on a solid link between Iraq and Osama bin Laden|s network.

The Bush administration’s claim that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had ties to al Qaeda — one of the administration’s central arguments for a pre-emptive war — appears to have been based on even less solid intelligence than the administration’s claims that Iraq had hidden stocks of chemical and biological weapons.
Nearly a year after U.S. and British troops invaded Iraq, no evidence has turned up to verify allegations of Saddam’s links with al Qaeda, and several key parts of the administration’s case have either proved false or seem increasingly doubtful.http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/2004/03/04/news/nation/8101079.htmIraq and al Qaeda: What Evidence?http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=23816bush's own hand-picked Republican weapons hunter ISG, Dr. David Kay;David Kay was on the ground for months investigating the activities of Hussein's regime.
