There's no evidence Saddam Hussein had a relationship with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his Al-Qaida associates, according to a Senate report on prewar intelligence on Iraq. Democrats said the report undercuts President Bush's justification for going to war.
The declassified document being released Friday by the Senate Intelligence Committee also explores the role that inaccurate information supplied by the anti-Saddam exile group the Iraqi National Congress had in the march to war.

The report comes at a time that Bush is emphasizing the need to prevail in Iraq to win the war on terrorism while Democrats are seeking to make that policy an issue in the midterm elections.

Bush and other administration officials have said that the presence of Zarqawi in Iraq before the war was evidence of a connection between Saddam's government and al-Qaida. Zarqawi was killed by a U.S. airstrike in June this year.

White House press secretary Tony Snow played down the report as "nothing new."

1. If Bush were playing strip poker, and had to remove an item of clothing

with each revealed lie, he'd have been totally naked before he finished his first month of office. If the man's mouth is open, there's a lie coming out of it!

What a Nazi.

2. It's not anything new!

That's the problem, isn't it? They knew, we knew and yet they still pushed the lie that there was a link on the American public.

Do you guys recall all those speeches that bush made right before we went to war in Iraq? How many times was 911 and Saddam's name intermingled? Yet they knew there was no connection.
