Mike, I hate to say it, but you bought the party line to the max.
Iraq and terrorism are TWO DIFFERENT SUBJECTS! The only links that exist are those that have been created by those very suspect reports that Osama's guys might have met with someone inside Iraqi government once. Osama is on record calling Saddam an infidel. I don't think they were working together on much of anything.
Afghanistan and Iraq are two different battles, for two different reasons. One was to get rid of a government that harboured terrorists OPENLY (the ones who claimed responsibility for 9-11), and the other to get rid of a guy who had pissed of the boy's daddy 10 years ago. the WMD thing has pretty much been proven to be a pack of lies, misleading information, and Saddam's own bravado. THERE ARE NO WEAPONS. If there were weapons, the US would have them by now.
Don't get tricked by the boy and his handlers... two wars, two different subjects, linked only by his words.

Alex,
Have you considered that (among other things like OIL) Iraq could also be the following:
1) a message to terrorists
2) a potential success story of democracy (a model)
3) a strategic operations center
All of these things look to be strategic choices in the administrations SOLUTION to terrorism and hence the connection.
It does not make how they sold it right, but it happens on both sides of the aisle ALL the time.
