On the Iraq War[edit]
Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida Are Linked
"Second, to say that there's no connection with terrorism in Iraq flies in the face of everything we know.... With regard to al-Qaida we know for a fact that there have been high level contacts between al-Qaida and the Iraqi government. We know for a fact that they have provided training to al-Qaida in their county. We know for a fact that there are members of the al-Qaida organization in Iraq today being provided support and comfort by the Iraqi dictatorship" (To PBS anchor Gwen Ifill, 10/2/2002) [1]
