QUOTE:"Postwar findings indicate that Saddam Hussein was distrustful of al-Qa'ida and viewed Islamic extremists as threats to his regime, refusing all requests from al-Qa'ida to provide material or operational support."
"The Committee uncovered no information in postwar Iraq about Saddam's intent to use terrorism in the event of a U.S. invasion...Saddam was resistant to cooperating with al-Qa'ida or any other Islamist groups. No information has been uncovered that indicates Iraq considered soliciting al-Qa'ida's assistance in attacks against the U.S."
Q: What did Iraq have to do with the attack on the World Trade Center? Bush: "Nothing".
"There were ties between Iraq and Al-Qaeda," - Condoleezza Rice, Fox News Sunday, Sun Sep 10, 2006.
"Compelling evidence demonstrating direct cooperation between the government of Iraq and al Qa'ida has not been established, despite a large body of anecdotal information."
"Iraq has been repeatedly accused of aiding al-Qa'ida's chemical and biological acquisition efforts. Despite recent information from a senior al-Qa'ida trainer currently in custody, all-source intelligence has not confirmed Iraq's involvement. Iraq is unlikely to have provided bin Laden any useful CB knowledge or assistance."
The CIA assessed that prior to the war, "the regime did not have a relationship, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi and his associates."
