"...But NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush
administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and
perhaps kill Zarqawi himself - but never pulled the trigger. In June 2002,
U.S. officials say intelligence had revealed that Zarqawi and members of
al-Qaida had set up a weapons lab at Kirma, in northern Iraq, producing
deadly ricin and cyanide..."

I'm "trying to say" the argument that there were no terrorists in
Iraq is bullshit.  Zarquawi was there, and so was a kinda largish Saddam
sponsored Iranian exile group operating near the Iranian border who was
doing cross border sabotage and terror ops that we're not sure how to
handle yet, so all we've done is round them up and keep them in a camp. 
Maybe you are willing to dismiss them because they were terrorizing the
Iranians, but I'm not.
