well, whaddaya know King George was handed a great big 150-page-long "I Told You So" by the US Senate today. What was his reaction to the news that Saddam Hussein definitely had nothing whatsoever to with Al Qa'ida? "Well, Osama Bin Laden thinks Iraq is to do with it!" Yes George, Iraq is to do with it now, because you have made it so! But these guys were not supported by Saddam Hussein, and you got rid of their enemy. Bin Laden used previous US aggression towards Iraq as a pretext to win support for his cause among Arabs, but not because he and Saddam were big pals. Al Qa'ida hated us, Saddam hated us, yet they really hated each other...and that inconvenient truth didn't fit with your plan. Which means that the invasion of Iraq  had nothing to do with catching terrorists. So why d'you do it? We all know it had flip-all to do with WMDs.  Saddam was a terrible person, truly terrible, who presided over a regime of torturers and murderers. The Iraqi people needed him gone, nobody doubts that. But he was no friend of Bin Laden. Nor was he a friend of Iran. Nor was he a religious fundamentalist. They all wanted him gone, and so again you gave them what they wanted. Well done, George. Are we really safer today, just because you say so? I can't help but think we'd be even safer if we didn't have a President that did Bin Laden's bidding. You know what, though? This Senate document will not make the tiniest bit of difference. It may as well have been a waste of three years' work. The Bush Junta ignored it all then and said what they wanted to believe, and they'll ignore it again now, arguing with  smug smirks on their faces.
