This can't be true. Uber intellectuals like Mavdog and his girlfriend reeds keeps telling us that Iraq and Al-Quaeda aren't related.

Where exactly in this news blurb did it say that Zarqawi was affiliated with Saddam Hissein and the Iraqi government?
Haven't you seen the written treaty of cooperation?? That's the only proof you would recognize anyway. Al Queda can live there, get financial help, be asked to come to iraq for talks. But since that doesn't constitute a "collaborative operational relationship".

Similar meetings between Iraqi officials and Bin Ladin or his aides may have occurred in 1999 during a period of some reported strains with the Taliban. According to the reporting, Iraqi officials offered Bin Ladin a safe haven in Iraq. Bin Ladin declined, apparently judging that his circumstances in Afghanistan remained more favorable than the Iraqi alternative. The reports describe friendly contacts and indicate some common themes in both sides’ hatred of the United States. But to date we have seen no evidence that these or the earlier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship. Nor have we seen evidence indicating that Iraq cooperated with al Qaeda in developing or carrying out any attacks against the United States.
