remember this is the war on terrorism? not the war on al'queda.
for the rest of that, I'll refer you to this:
Uhh last I checked Al-Queda was a terrorist cell and it was the group the US was hunting for. To have Pakistan named as it was then find out it was in full cooperation with that group makes it a very questionable matter at that point. Someone isn't doing their homework and it is leading to some very serious mistakes.
While Mr Bush has never directly accused Iraq of involvement in the September 11 attacks, he argued that Saddam had secret links to al-Qa'ida.
"Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al-Qa'ida," he said in his State of the Union address in January 2003.
Vice-President Dick Cheney said this week that Saddam "had long-established ties with al-Qa'ida". Questioned on this, Mr Bush said the "best evidence" was the Iraq-based terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who the US says has approached al-Qa'ida leaders for aid but is not part of the group.
