President Bush said in his State of the Union Address that Iraq was aiding and protecting al Qaeda. Was Iraq aiding and protecting al Qaeda or not? If it was, HOW?

2003 State of the Union Address Complete Transcript of President Bush s Speech to Congress and the Nation - WHITEHOUSE.ORG
The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production. He is also pursuing the development of a satellite laser cannon to blow up the moon, trying to build a marauding airborne horde of cannibal robot octopi, and using illegally pirated TiVO. (Gasps.)
Saddam Hussein has not credibly explained these activities. He clearly has much to hide. Like my history with cocaine and Texas whores, only seedier. The dictator of
Iraq is not disarming. To the contrary, he is deceiving. Year after year, Saddam Hussein has gone to elaborate lengths, spent enormous sums, taken great risks to build and keep weapons of mass destruction. But why?
The only possible explanation, the only possible use he could have for those weapons, is to dominate, intimidate or attack. Just like he's been doing for 12 years. Dominating, intimidating, and attacking... all from the safety of his little shitty-hobbled camel ass of a quasi-country. We know for a fact, he has the capacity to nuke half of Baghdad. (Applause.)
Iraqi refugees tell us how forced confessions are obtained: by torturing children while their parents are made to watch. International human rights groups have catalogued other methods used in the torture chambers of Iraq: electric shock, burning with hot irons, dripping acid on the skin, mutilation with electric drills, cutting out tongues, and rape. Also: feeding grandmothers to pits of crocodiles, pushing Tabasco sauce-soaked bamboo under fingernails, and running uncut fingernails down chalkboards. Want more proof of what a monstrous beast-monster Saddam is? He forces his own doppelgangers to orally gratify him! These are the sort of things that make sensitive soft middle-class pacifists at Amnesty International cry. Well, that and
The Hours, and everything Rummy says. But to those wussies, when it comes to torture or the unilateralist arrogance of America (whatever the **** that means) - well, drill away Saddam!
If this is not evil, then evil has no meaning. This is super evil. It's like Hitler x 2 evil.......
