Let's assume there is an Iraq/Al quadea connection
why the heck didn't chenney present that to our allies before we went into Iraq?

If his excuse is he didn't know at the time, then he should not have gone in, and we should have let the UN inspectors do their job.

why didn't he tell the 9/11 commission when he went before them to answer questions? He could have put it in his opening remarks?

There is something very wrong and sick about this administration. There is no justification for keeping this information under wraps, that is if the information is TRUE!

1. I thought the same thing
Sure he would have disclosed information so important to their case for war before now!

Well, and so what. Is having 1 alQaeda person in Saddam's army reason enough to go to war? That is stupid. Two - maybe?

3. Not at all, that does not justify an immenient threat
but I find it strange how these things seem to crop up.

You indicate that he would have disclosed "information so important to their case for war before now!", but they didn't, so the only assumption I can make is that they didn't even have that as an excuse to go to war

2. Maybe they found the justification after the fact?
The may have lucked out....maybe their hunch was correct? Would that make the invasion the right thing to do, if that were the case?

6. No,
but it is quite funny how that information suddenly came up, right after the 9/11 commission issues their report. Wouldn't it seem proper to give that information to the 9/11 commission as soon as they had it without being asked?

4. What if there were an al qaeda mole
...in our government? Would that authorize an invasion by the rest of the world?

8. It would only add to the reasons why this administration
should be kicked out

7. I'm always suspicious
of a late and sudden piece of information just in the nick of time to save someone in trouble.

9. Didn't you love what Vladimir Puten said last week?
Yes, Russian intlligence reported connections between OBL and Iraq, but this did not change the opposition to the war.

First, it was not substantiated, no content offered, but it arrived just in time to bolster the lies from Chimp & Cheney.
