At his news conference, Bush defended Vice President Dick Cheney's assertion that Saddam had ``long-established ties'' with al-Qaida, an assertion that has been repeatedly challenged by some policy experts and lawmakers. Bush pointed to terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who is accused of trying to disrupt the transfer of sovereignty as well as last month's decapitation of American Nicholas Berg.

``Zarqawi is the best evidence of connection to al-Qaida affiliates and al-Qaida,'' the president said.
