Oh really? Perhaps you missed the fact that of all the leaders of countries throughout the world ONLY Saddam openly applauded 9/11 and celebrated the deeds of the hijackers.
And I guess you also missed the fact that al-qaeda terrorists met in Baghdad before the invasion to plot a chemical bomb attack in Jordan that was aimed at killing tens of thousands of Jordanians and everyone in the US embassy in Amman. And you miss the fact that the Iraqi government was warned about the leader of that plot well before the invasion and did nothing to apprehend him. In fact, when a member of that terrorist leader's entourage was caught by Iraqi police, the top echelons of the Iraqi government (in fact, the CIA says Saddam himself) ordered that terrorist released over the objection of the arresting police.
Frankly, I don't really think you folks believe there is a war on terror. Maybe that should be the real issue of the Presidential race.
The picture you posted was a propaganda bid to garner support from anyone he could. Saddam didn't give a crap about the U.S., Al qaeda, or anyone else. He was being Saddam and watching out for himself.
Last redoubt of AQIZ? Well, that's good, since now we can move onto the 14 other factions in the area. AQIZ were big, but they are not nearly the scariest in country right now. The country is still over-run by criminals, ex Baath party, and other insurgent cells. Not to mention out of country chuckleheads.
The war in Iraq is far, far from over.
One question: What is the objective of the War on Terror? Every real war has one. Now ask yourself, is it narrow enough to be truly defined as an actual war?
