It is just utterly and completely preposterous to believe that Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda were linked. Osama bin Laden hated Saddam. He wanted to invade Iraq with an army of jihadists during the first Gulf War. He thought Saddam was an infidel. If there was any connection between Saddam and al Qaeda, it was that they wanted each other dead.
But details be damned for our stereotype-happy uninformed sector of society which tends to subconsciously classify all Arabs as the same.
