What report? it's not a report, it's a baseless op-ed piece by a right-wing author posted on a right-wing website.

And even If the article is true and if Saddam knew that the company was Al-Qaeda front (we ourselves did not know it then, we only suspect it now 2 years later) and still did business with it we should have shut down the company as opposed to invading Iraq.

Try and come up with a more plausible retroactive justification of the invasion.

The article is neither baseless, nor is it an op-ed. But, you're right, of course it would never be written by a left-wing author or posted in a left-wing website, even if it proved the link between Iraq and Al Qaeda.

Default It's in the 9/11 Report

Even the 9/11 Commission Report lists Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein connections.
