Time to man up, hippies

Look, it's fast becoming flat-out ridiculous that responsible and intelligent people still insist that Iraq and Al Qaeda had nothing to do with each other. "The charitiable explanation is ignorance." I try to post this guy's articles about this whenever they come out, but this one is probably the best and most conclusive about the relationships between Iraq/Saddam and Al Qaeda/Bin Ladin. This is my favorite part:
