This question on Yahoo Answers was asked and answered one year ago. The links don't work on their site, but if anyone cares to dig a little, all the information for where to find the evidence is listed in the answer. Learn this information and commit it to memory. The next time you see Code Pinko nuts dissing our President and our country, drive a stake of truth through the heart of their whacked out message.
Let's do it again: When will Bush stop lying about the link between Iraq and 9-11?
He did it again today at his news conference.

Can some conservative hacks out there please tell me why our president
continues this lie? I mean, it's been disproven time and time and time
again, yet we keep hearing the same thing. What is wrong with this
administration? What is wrong with the American people that we haven't
demanded his removal from office? He is lying about the reasons we are
sending our troops to DIE. To DIE! He's not lying about who gave him a
hummer in the Oval Office. He is lying about the reaons we are killing
Iraqis and seding our soldiers to DIE.
Damn he ticks me off!
And we are going to have this argument until one of you conservative
hacks can give me a legitimate reason based on truth and fact and not
simply regurgitating the lies being fed out of the White House.

You
conservatives are just as brainwashed as the liberals. Saddam has about
as much link to 9-11 as the US does. Do I think he liked bin Laden
killing Americans, sure he did. Did he discuss possible alliances with
him? Probably. Did he have anything to do with 9-11? NO! Nothing you
have posted gives you a link between 9-11 and Saddam except for that
same meeting with an intelligence officer that the 9-11 commission
rejects. Otherwise we would have to attack Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria,
Iran, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.
And I have no problem going after the guy who actually attacked the US.
Remember bin Laden? The guy in his cave making movies every other week?
Let's get him and if he implicates others, then we go get them. Instead
Bush and Cheney lie, lie, lie, lie to start an unecessary and unjust
war when we had a necessary and just war that hasn't been finished yet.
If we have to kill some people, let's at least kill people in the right
country. Is that too much to ask?

Connections between Iraq and Al-Qaeda
On August 20, 1998, President Bill Clinton ordered a cruise missile
attack against a chemical weapons factory in Sudan. The cruise missle
strike was in retaliation for the August 7, 1998 truck bomb attacks on
U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya which killed more than 200 people
and wounded more than 5,000 others. The chemical weapons factory in
Sudan was funded, in part, by Osama bin Laden who the U.S. believed
responsible for the embassy bombings. Richard Clarke, a national
security advisor to President Clinton, told the Washington Post in a
January 23, 1999 article that the U.S. government was "sure" that Iraqi
nerve gas experts had produced a powdered substance at that plant for
use in making VX nerve gas. link
On August 25, 1998 the Fort Worth Star-telegram reported a link between
Iraq and the Sudanese chemical weapons factory destroyed by the United
States in a cruise missile attack. The chemical weapons factory was hit
because of links to Osama bin Laden who the U.S. believed responsible
for the recent embassy bombings. A senior intelligence official said
one of the leaders of Iraq's chemical weapons program, Emad al-Ani, had
close ties with senior Sudanese officials at the factory. The
intelligence official also said a number of Iraqi scientists working
with al-Ani attended the grand opening of the factory two years
earlier. Emad Husayn Abdullah al-Ani surrendered to U.S. military
forces on April 18, 2003. link link
On November 5, 1998 a Federal grand jury in Manhattan returned a
238-count indictment charging Osama bin Laden in the bombings of two
United States Embassies in Africa and with conspiring to commit other
acts of terrorism against Americans abroad. The grand jury indictment
also charged that Al-Qaeda had reached an arrangement with President
Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq whereby the group said that it
would not work against Iraq, and that the two parties agreed to
cooperate in the development of weapons. link link
On January 11, 1999, Newsweek magazine ran the headline "Saddam + Bin
Laden?" The subheadline declared, "It would be a marriage made in hell.
And America's two enemies are courting." The article points out that
Saddam has a long history of supporting terrorism. The article also
mentions that, in the prior week, several surface-to-air missiles were
fired at U.S. and British planes patrolling the no-fly zones and that
Saddam is now fighting for his life now that the United States has made
his removal from office a national objective. link
On January 14, 1999, ABC News reported, "Saddam Hussein has a long
history of harboring terrorists. Carlos the Jackal, Abu Nidal, Abu
Abbas, the most notorious terrorists of their era, all found shelter
and support at one time in Baghdad. Intelligence sources say bin
Laden's long relationship with the Iraqis began as he helped Sudan's
fundamentalist government in their efforts to acquire weapons of mass
destruction." video
On February 13, 1999, CNN reported, "Osama bin Laden, the Saudi
millionaire accused by the United States of plotting bomb attacks on
two U.S. embassies in Africa, has left Afghanistan, Afghan sources said
Saturday. Bin Laden's whereabouts were not known....." The article
reports, "Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin
Laden....." link
On February 18, 1999, National Public Radio (NPR) reported, "There have
also been reports in recent months that bin Laden might have been
considering moving his operations to Iraq. Intelligence agencies in
several nations are looking into that. According to Vincent
Cannistraro, a former chief of CIA counterterrorism operations, a
senior Iraqi intelligence official, Farouk Hijazi, sought out bin Laden
in December and invited him to come to Iraq." NPR reported that Iraq's
contacts with bin Laden go back some years, to at least 1994, when
Farouk Hijazi met with bin Laden when he lived in Sudan. link link
On February 14, 1999, an article appeared in the San Jose Mercury News
claiming that U.S. intelligence officials are worried about an alliance
between Osama bin Laden and Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. The article
states that bin Laden had met with a senior Iraqi intelligence official
near Qandahar, Afghanistan in late December 1998 and that "there has
been increasing evidence that bin Laden and Iraq may have begun
cooperating in planning attacks against American and British targets
around the world." According to this article, Saddam has offered asylum
to bin Laden in Iraq. The article said that in addition to Abu Nidal,
another Palestinian terrorist by the name of Mohammed Amri (a.k.a. Abu
Ibrahim) is also believed to be in Iraq. link
On February 28, 1999, an article was written in The Kansas City Star
which said, "He [bin Laden] has a private fortune ranging from $250
million to $500 million and is said to be cultivating a new alliance
with Iraq's Saddam Hussein, who has biological and chemical weapons bin
Laden would not hesitate to use. An alliance between bin Laden and
Saddam Hussein could be deadly. Both men are united in their hatred for
the United States....." link
On December 28, 1999, an article appeared in The Herald (Glasgow,
Scotland) titled, "Iraq tempts bin Laden to attack West." The article
starts, "The world's most wanted man, Osama bin Laden, has been offered
sanctuary in Iraq....." The article quotes a U.S. counter-terrorism
source who said, "Now we are also facing the prospect of an unholy
alliance between bin Laden and Saddam. The implications are
terrifying." link
On April 8, 2001, an informant for Czech counter-intelligence observed
an Iraqi intelligence official named al-Ani meeting with an Arab man in
his 20s at a restaurant outside Prague. Following the 9/11 attacks, the
Czech informant who observed the meeting saw Mohammed Atta’s picture in
the papers and identified Mohammed Atta as the man who met with the
Iraqi intelligence official. link link link
Able Danger, a highly-classified U.S. Army intelligence program under
the command of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, supports
information from the Czech Republic’s intelligence service that
Mohammed Atta meet with the Iraqi ambassador at the Prague airport on
April 9, 2001. link link
On July 21, 2001 [less than two months prior to 911] the Iraqi
state-controlled newspaper "Al-Nasiriya" predicted that bin Laden would
attack the U.S. "with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert
about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the
White House." The same state-approved column also insisted that bin
Laden "will strike America on the arm that is already hurting," and
that the U.S. "will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he
hears his songs" - an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, "New
York, New York." link link link
After the 9/11 attacks, Saddam became the only world leader to offer
praise for bin Laden, even as other terrorist leaders, like Yassir
Arafat, went out of their way to make a show of sympathy to the U.S. by
donating blood to 9/11 victims on camera. Saddam later pays tribute to
9/11 by having a mural painted depicting the World Trade Center attack
at an Iraqi military base in Nasariyah.

- You
get the nod, even though in your very detailed links between AQ and
Saddam, you have links that have been discounted by Bush, the 9-11
Commission and Michael Moore. And that's enough evidence to ignore bin
Laden and attack Saddam? Wow.
