Sigh. He wants you to hear “known ties to al-Qaeda,” knowing that for eight years, you’ve heard Bush administration officials conflate al-Qaeda with the generic term “terrorists.” In truth, Saddam Hussein had “known ties” to Palestinian terrorist groups that never did and do not still pose a threat to the United States of America.
