"The Sudanese, to protect their own ties with Iraq, reportedly persuaded bin Laden to cease this support and arranged for contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda."

A senior Iraqi intelligence officer reportedly made three visits to Sudan, finally meeting bin Laden in 1994.

Bin Laden is said to have requested space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but Iraq apparently never responded.

"There have been reports that contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda also occurred after bin Laden had returned to Afghanistan, but they do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship," the report said.

Now, I am not saying that Iraq was behind 9/11. I am saying that your second sentence is completely bogus and made up.

Also from that same website:

The panel said it found "no credible evidence that Iraq and al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States."

You, KMA, failed to mention that the source of the quotes you put above were from Powel, Cheny, and the rest of the Happy Fun Bush Gang. They were proven lies (or missinformation based on bad intel, whatever you choose to believe). Those were the same people that admitted that there was no credible link. Remember when Bush admitted there were no links? You did not prove anyone wrong, you simply did what Bush supporters always do: regurgitate what Bushco tells you.

Also from that site:

The report also found that there was no "convincing evidence that any government financially supported al Qaeda before 9/11" other than the limited support provided by the Taliban when bin Laden arrived in Afghanistan.

That report is legal gospel. If that report say it's so, it's so. There was no credible link, and I'm offended that you think that we're stupid enough to believe that site proves the Iraq Aal-Qaeda connection. Jeez.
