1) No, not a close connection. There is a closer connection between "Al-Qaeda" and George Bush. In the middle east, all terrorists groups are connected somehow. Everybody has worked with everybody at one point. Saddam Hussein was not a islamic terrorist or popular in their circles, because of his modernization politics, the Iran-Iraq war, and the ironic belief shared by many over there that Saddam was always just a CIA agent.
2) Yes. But not recently. He had plenty of dangerous "WMDs" when America was supplying him with weapons and the resources to get weapons in the 1980s.

1. No, I do not believe there is or ever was a connection between Saddam and al Qaeda. In fact, I think this has been proven to not be true and President Bush himself has acknowledged that there is no connection. His memory is short, however, as it is clear that he used a possible connectin between the two as justification for going to war with Iraq.
2. Yes, it is known that he did have weapons of mass destruction prior to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991. However, it is now quite likely that all WMD's he possessed were either destroyed or shipped out of the country prior to the first Gulf War. In any case, there are no WMD's in Iraq at this time or any time recently before the US invasion.

Al Qaida trained in Iraq. On the WMD front, he admitted it to the UN. The French admitted it along with the UN organization that oversaw him. Sen. Santorum and a Congressman revealed that it was declassified that we found missles with some nasty chemical in it. I forget what it was.
I am going to leap into your thinking. We had a much more relevant reason for taking him out.
1. We had a cease fire after the Gulf War.
2. Part of that was Saddam could not have any WMD, chemical weapons, etc.
3. He refused to let the inspectors into Iraq and have unfettered access.
4. The useless UN did nothing but pass uninforced resolutions.
5. We had the right to void the cease fire agreement and take him out. After all, we defeated him in war and thus can dictate the terms.

Osama would not do business with any Shea or Sunni. Wahhabi Muslims think of the Sunni as dog feces infidels.
As for the WMD. Sure Oliver North and G H W Bush sold 80 billion dollars worth of weapons to Iraq. I don't know if Saddam used all of them on Iran and the Curds or if some were blown up in the Gulf War. But he did take delivery on weapons made in Pine Bluff Arkansas, America.

Absolutely not, to both questions. There has been mass research done on both subjects and the answer to these questions have been proven. Al Qaeda has no ties Saddam Hussein or Iraq.
Did we ever find any WMD in Iraq? No! If Saddam had them then we would have undoubtedly found them within the first few months of invading Iraq.

1. As far as I can tell, Saddam had SOME ties with Al-Quaida, but they were of the most tenuous sort.
2. WMD are not only nuclear, they are also chemical and biological. We know for a fact he gassed an entire village, so it's obvious he had WMD just not the nuclear weapons we were LIED to about, so we would support a war in acountry which had never even threatened to attack us.

1. No, and I never did.
2. No, and I never did. They were disarmed prior to the 1991 Gulf War.

No to both. The war in Iraq is based on lies. Over 10,000 have died and over 100,000 have been wounded. Bush should be tried as a war criminal.

1. No, in fact they did not even like each other.
2. At one point he had them, but they were all long since destroyed before we invaded.
