There is, of course, no good evidence that Hussein had WMD or harbored Al Qaeda. Iraq was a "potential harbor" for Islamist terror in the same way that Malaysia or Indonesia are -- let's invade them next to really stick it to Al Qaeda. The only tight nexus between Iraq and the war on terror is in the neo-cons' brains.
