Saddam tied to terrorists

Newly declassified documents captured in Iraq show that Saddam Hussein's regime had extensive ties with a variety of Islamist and other terrorist groups, in some cases dating back to the early 1990s. Saddam's Iraqi Intelligence Service (or Mukhabarat) established a working relationship with Egyptian Islamic Jihad, whose leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, later merged the group with al Qaeda, according to a new report by the Institute for Defense Analyses. In addition, the Mukhabarat trained scores of non-Iraqi Arabs to attack Israel. The new report contains copies of captured Iraqi documents that provide what may be the most detailed picture ever of Baghdad's support for terrorism.

But they loved us and the American way of life until G.W. (otherwise know as the antichrist) forced our young men and women to kill Iraqi babies

Whatever are you babbling about???

Study Discounts Hussein, Al-Qaeda Link
An examination of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents, audio and video records collected by U.S. forces since the March 2003 invasion has concluded that there is "no smoking gun" supporting the Bush administration's prewar assertion of an "operational relationship" between Saddam Hussein and the al-Qaeda terrorist network, sources familiar with the study said.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/14/wo...html?ref=world
WASHINGTON — There was no direct operational connection between Saddam Hussein’s government and Al Qaeda before the war in Iraq, says a Pentagon-sponsored study released Wednesday.

WDAM.com Laurel-Hattiesburg, MS The Pinebelt's Choice For News, Sports and Weather | Pentagon says no link between Iraq and Al Qaeda

A detailed Pentagon study released Wednesday confirmed there was no direct link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda before the war in Iraq.

Free Internet Press :: Pentagon Study: Saddam Hussein Had No Ties To Al-Qaeda
The Pentagon's independent auditor released a report last year that chastised an internal military office created by Bush allies for promoting a link between Hussein and al-Qaeda despite intelligence showing that none existed. Even after that report, however, vice president Dick Cheney continued saying that al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi collaborated with Iraq.

Just so you know, the United States supported Jihadist groups when it suited its interest. Maybe you remember the soviet occupation of Afghanistan? Al Qaeda is blowback on us for stoking Islamic religious ferver against infidels.

I wish they would make up their minds. One day he did the next day he didnt. This is what American "Intelligence" has come to.

You're missing the finer point here. The IDA is claiming that there USED to be a connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda before 2000.

But why the hell would we attack a foreign country based on old, stale, terrorist ties?

Didn't we support the Contras? They were terrorists. Didn't we support the Mujahadeen? They were terrorists...

While we're attacking countries that have had ties to terrorists in past times, maybe we should attack ourselves?

OBL could walk up to Forestool, tell him directly that he and Saddam the Dead were bestest friends for life and it would still end up Shrub's fault cause he's so stoopid. Why ruin a perfectly good theory with facts?
