Keep repeating your claims and I'll go ahead and put together a list whether you do or not.
You've been threatening this "list" for the last 12 months. When is it going to appear? Or is that another lie?

So Iraq has been co-operating with Al Quaeda, but not on the Sept 11 bombings (according to Bush).
So where and when did they co-operate?.....Well gee, turns out there's actually 'no credible evidence' that they co-operated at all, just a whole bunch of heresay and rumours.
As I said the USA gives far more reason for assumptions of it's co-operation with the Taliban (Not to mention the grand majority of the world's dictators), then Bin Laden does with Iraq. Maybe the US forces should have invaded Sudan not Iraq since they harboured Bin Laden for a considerable time and encouraged him against his reason to co-operate with Saddam (with no success).
Sounds like they support Al Quaeda to a far greater degree than Saddam's secular nation-state ever did.

In your article most of the quotes are from a journalist's column - with no name attached. Who said these things, old mother Hubbard? Or are they just the journalist's own speculative words?
The two substantiated by a named speaker do not indicate any co-operation - 'Bin Laden met' is the best Powell can do in either of those quotes.
Didn't the USA also meet with Saddam on quite a few occasions? Not to mention the Taliban and most of the world's dictators. Using your preferred method of substansiation I would say this clearly means the USA is allies with these groups and governments.
In the article you posted it says:
'Vice President Cheney and CIA director George Tenet, as well as Clinton administration officials in the 1990s certainly suggested Iraq and al-Qaida established a relationship'
Once again, only suggestion....No evidence can be produced.
Well the power of suggestion has worked well for these guys over the years. Yet still no evidence can be produced.
