"Trust me bro." I too, would love to see this evidence as someone personally touched on multiple fronts by this event.

GAO-04-1033T

Legit info, and I'm sure that's not all..

LOL The 9/11 Commission Report? Really?

The July 2004 9/11 Commission Report addressed a possible conspiracy between the government of Iraq and al-Qaeda in the September 11 attacks. The report addressed allegations of contacts between al-Qaeda and members of Saddam Hussein's government and concluded that there was no evidence that such contacts developed into a collaborative relationship, and they did not cooperate to commit terrorist attacks against the United States.[18][97]

Maybe check out all the reports on this list, my friend: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein_and_al-Qaeda_link_allegations

I don't trust any information about this subject, even my own info. It's all very prone to misinformation, propaganda, and general manipulation.

But of all sources you'd suggest, Wikipedia?

You gotta be shitting me. My sources are between the GAO (Government Accountability Office) and a hefty data dump of early years of Wikileaks.

Anyways, yeah I have plenty enough reason to not trust currently available information, it's all probably been cherry picked and edited to hell and back for the modern narrative.

I have much more original information.

"Trust me bro."

I just got done saying that I don't trust any info on this subject, even the huge archive I inherited from my late father.

But I'm more inclined to trust the data from my late father, before many documents conveniently got edited, blacked out or just became missing.

Anyways, I don't care what anyone thinks or can or cannot prove about Hussein, it's perfectly normal to hide in a hole in the ground if you've done nothing wrong...

Oh wait..

I'm not trusting any external source here. I grew up under the Bush presidency and simply remember the whole fiasco.

Bush and friends invented the link to justify their prior war plans, when pushed to prove there was a connection, Bush failed to produce evidence.

You're implying Bush (or … someone?) had the evidence that would have vindicated him, but rather than share it, deliberately buried it and successfully hid it from the whole world?
