'or if someone who you hated offered you money for something you were selling, youd accept the money, right?'
Oh yeah... just like when we sold chemical weapons to Iraq so that they could kill the Kurds back in the 80's.
As for that article linking Iraq to Ansar Al-Islam which, in turn is linked to Al-Quaeda: the connection is shaky at best. The article's only major source is a former Iraqi intelligence officer who says money went to Ansar. The problem is, this article links (somewhat tentatively) Iraq to Ansar in their attacks against the Kurds, but fails to link Iraq to any attacks made by Al-Quaeda against the United States.
I'll put it this way: If this were incontrivertable evidence that Iraq was linked with Al-Quaeda, it would be all the Bush administration talked about.
