Pentagon Says No Evidence Of Al-Qaeda-Hussein Link
View Related News
The Pentagon report, issued by the Defense Department's inspector general on April 6, quotes a 2002 CIA document that says: "Overall, the reporting provides no conclusive signs of cooperation on specific terrorist operations" between Hussein's government and Al-Qaeda.
Speaking on April 5, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney repeated assertions that such a link did exist before the decision was made to invade Iraq.
Leading up to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq to oust Hussein, Cheney and several top U.S. officials voiced suspicions about an Al-Qaeda-Hussein link.

Vice President Dick Cheney Lied
Vice President Dick Cheney lied when he said there was such a link between the Al-Qaeda and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein before the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Saddam Hussein hated Osama bin Laden, because Osama bin Laden was an ally of Iran.
The US invaded Iraq to secure a military base in the Middle East to launch attacks on the Al-Qaeda and prepare for possible confrontations with Iran.
If Pentagon has confirmed that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and the Al-Qaeda, then President George W. Bush and all those who approved the invasion and occupation of Iraq should be prosecuted for the violation of the territorial sovereignty of Iraq and they should be tried for war crimes.
One God, one faith.
