Now, the thing is, I have reason not to believe you.
The US 9/11 commission couldn't find such a link between Al Qaeda and Iraq, which you claim is common knowledge.

Although Osama bin Laden briefly explored the idea of forging ties with Iraq in the mid-1990s, the terrorist leader was hostile to Hussein's secular government, and Iraq never responded to requests for help in providing training camps or weapons, the panel found in the first of two reports issued today.

They spent far more time on this that I have, and presumably you have -- could you please provide me with evidence strong enough to make me doubt their accuracy?
Or, have I misunderstood the 9/11 commission reports?
And, as an aside, could you point out when the alledged training in Sudan occurred? I lost track.
