Not even close.

Maybe you should read the whole thing.
"But to date we have seen no evidence that these or the earlier contacts
ever developed into a collaborative operational relation****p. Nor have
we seen evidence indicating that Iraq cooperated with al Qaeda in
developing or carrying out any attacks against the United States."

And that's hardly the only re****t that Cheney persists in ignoring:

1993 WTC investigations
1998 National Security Council exercise
2001 Presidential Daily Briefing
2001-2 Atta in Prague investigations
2002 DIA re****ts
2002 British intelligence re****t
2003 CIA re****t
2003 British intelligence re****t
2003 Israeli intelligence
2004 Carnegie study
2004 9/11 Commission Re****t
2004 Senate Re****t of Pre-war Intelligence on Iraq
2004 CIA re****t
2005 update of CIA re****t
2006 Pentagon study
2006 Senate Re****t of Pre-War Intelligence
2007 Pentagon Inspector General Re****t
2006 Senate Re****t of Pre-War Intelligence
2005 update of CIA re****t

"Several official investigations by U.S. intelligence agencies, foreign
intelligence agencies, and independent investigative bodies have looked
into various aspects of the alleged links between Saddam Hussein and
al-Qaeda. Every single investigation has resulted in the conclusion that
the data examined did not provide compelling evidence of a cooperative
relation****p between the two entities."

To ascribe political motives for the merely humanitarian is sadly
typical of the hugely divisive "right" in America. The US at large has
been systemically bludgeoned with the words "al Qeada" and "Saddam" (or
"Iraq") if not always linked exactly, always in the same sentence. 

It is enough to make Jesus puke.
