What Bush and Cheney have been doing, however, is using the notion of an al-Q / Iraq link to suggest that Iraq is part of the global war against terrorism coming out of 9/11. 9/11 needs to be the casus belli for Iraq for the administration to sustain support.

Because an independent commission is looking at 9/11 and debunking the claims about Iraq and 9/11, the administration is falling back to this idea that Al Qaeda and Iraq were linked in other ways. In a literal but not meaningful sense, this is true, but the more important thing is that there's no independent commission or congressional investigation that threatens to call them on it.
