"where is the evidence to prove that the AQ numbers have gone up because we are in Iraq"

There were zero al-Quaeda in Iraq. Now there are many.

Many almost always is more than none.

You are saying the 9/11 commission was lying when they said there were al-Queada training camps there.

They said that Hussein was not part of the conspiracy so you take that to mean that they were not there. Typical lib.

well let's take a look at the report and see what it has to say.

"Bin Ladin is said to have asked for space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but there is no evidence that Iraq responded to this request. As described below, the ensuing years saw additional efforts to establish connections....

....we have seen no evidence that these or the earlier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship. Nor have we seen evidence indicating that Iraq cooperated with al Qaeda in developing or carrying out any attacks against the United States."

That was before the first Gulf war.

In 2001, with Bin Ladin's help they re-formed into an organization called Ansar al Islam.There are indications that by then the Iraqi regime tolerated and may even have helped Ansar al Islam against the common Kurdish enemy.

Different name but still al Queada.
