With the release of the classified documents on Iraq by Wikileaks it is now clear that Saddam Hussein had no connection to 9/11 and that the presence of al-Qaeda in Iraq had more to do with the new presence of US troops than the friendly atmosphere of the Saddam regime. This also fits logically. Why would Saddam Hussein harbour al-Qaeda extremists when during the 1990s he was under immense pressure from the UN over WMDs and other issues. Facing enormous difficulties domestically, supporting al-Qaeda would have been foolish. However, al-Qaeda, which in the early 2000s was still strong and itching for a fight, the chaos caused by the US invasion would have provided its fighters with a perfect opportunity to battle the infidel on home ground, which they duly did and continue to do. The reasons then for the Iraq war are...who knows. Queue the International Criminal Court please. To view the wikileaks documents on the Iraq war, check out their website http://wikileaks.org/
