The Torture Twins went to the Weekly Standard for their latest bit, which is actually just a light edit of the same speech Dick the Greater has been giving for decades—he may have a new heart, but the bullshit circuits were soldered in nice and tight, they couldn't do squat about those:
It is undisputed, and has been confirmed repeatedly in Iraqi government documents captured after the invasion, that Saddam had deep, longstanding, far-reaching relationships with terrorist organizations, including al Qaeda and its affiliates.As it turns out it is very disputed, in that most people who do not have Cheney printed on their driver licenses dispute it plenty. The abject lack of evidence for such a claim is exactly why the Cheney White House went hard against a U.S. ambassador who said what little evidence they did have was obviously fake, an action that resulted in the Cheney Group, aka Richard Armitage and Scooter Libby and Karl Rove et al., announcing to the world that his wife was a covert CIA agent. Ten years later no such evidence has been found, and while it is true that Iraq and al Qaeda groups "had ties" in that they were known to each other and at some points had contact with each other, the short version is that Hussein had little interest in groups that were not obligingly pro-him. Long version here, short version Shut Up, Dick Cheney. That guy wants another war like an alcoholic wants another bottle.
