"Hal, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11."

This is true. What is also true, however, is that no such connection was ever asserted as part of the reason for the invasion.

"No connection has ever been established between Saddam and Al-Queda."

This is absolutely NOT true. The 9/11 Commission did in fact report that there were connections between Saddam and Al-Quaeda. Since the release of the report, the focus of the deniers has been to try to minimize the importance of this connection. But it is no longer asserted by anyone with any credibility that there was no connection.

"Iraq is not making us safer, at least that is what our own intelligence services tell us."

This also seems to be false. Terrorists from around the world who would otherwise be conducting operations against US interests elsewhere converged on Iraq after the invasion. Most have died there trying to destroy what we have built. This raises the important question if what we've done in Iraq was so insignificant or even harmful to US interests, why was it so important to these terror organizations to try to stop it?

Anyway, I know that this was off topic (as was the original comment), but I see an awful lot of people (more now than ever with the election coming) who fervently believe things that simply aren't true.
