Nobody fabricated anything Will. As far as Al Qaeda ties go, do you think it is coincidence that Al Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, just happened to be given refuge in Iraq after fleeing Afghanistan? Is it coincidence that he got treated in a state hospital ran by Uday? Is it coincidence that he stayed there after he got healty and an impending military strike was coming? Also you have the evidence of Iraq/Al Qaeda operating in Somalia which I won't rehash, but it's established. Sure Iraq wasn't involved in 9-11 or any current active plots with Al Qaeda, doesn't mean there weren't connections.
Secondly as far as the WMD's, I don't believe those were fabricated either. It was largely the same intelligence used in 98' with operation desert fox after we happened to find some of the Anthrax that Saddam didn't have. But yeah, the intelligence 5 years later was wrong... in so far as a smoking gun. We still found Saddam with a bunch of shit he wasn't supposed to have.
