But if there was much support for that rationale for the war, Cheney would not have had to spew that crap about Hussein and Zarqawi before the war, and the administration would not have had to fear that taking Zarqaqi out might undermine the case for the war.

I think you are taking too narrow a view of the world, and I can't figure out if it's because you are blinded by your dislike for Bush or because you really and truly believe that the war was not a net gain for both the safety of the US and the world as a whole.
