And all of them have changed that position in the last few weeks. It seems there was a link.

But it is immaterial if there was a link to Al-Queda or not. Al-Queda is not the only terrorist organization in the world, and Hussein clearly did support terrorism. There is more than enough evidence to convince any clear thinking person of that. The war is on terrorism, not Al-Queda. Keep it in mind.
