U.S. sources say he is reaching out to Islamic terrorists, including some who may be linked to Osama bin Laden,

Now if we all put our minds to work on this I'll bet we can figure out what "sources" Newsweak had in the US in 1999.

In fact, I think probably even John Kerry and Al Gore could figure it out.

Nice find.

Soon to be hastily and quietly dismissed with the infamous phrase 'Oh, that's OLD news' by liberals everywhere.

('Old News' meaning anything within the last few days or earlier that's embarassing to the liberals.)

The dope is gettin' roped.

The Iraqi turnover (genuflecting here) will more than drown out My Lies, Kerry; the beheading has neutralized Abu Ghraib.

This'll have the left media suddenly acutely interested in Peterson, Bryant et al.

I just love the Internet. No wonder the UN wants to control it.

Here's what is known so far: Saddam Hussein, who has a long record of supporting terrorism, is trying to rebuild his intelligence network overseas--assets that would allow him to establish a terrorism network. U.S. sources say he is reaching out to Islamic terrorists, including some who may be linked to Osama bin Laden, the wealthy Saudi exile accused of masterminding the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa last summer. U.S. intelligence has had reports of contacts between low-level agents. Saddam and bin Laden have interests--and enemies--in common. Both men want U.S. military forces out of Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden has been calling for all-out war on Americans, using as his main pretext Washington's role in bombing and boycotting Iraq.

I guess Time just keeps ticking......

[b4its2late]

Think Dan Rather will do a "in thier own words" story about this Time piece? Me either.

bump for exposure

Are you seeing these posts? I am really scared of our national press when I see what they are doing.

[krunkygirl]

Please, someone who knows how, share this "reminder" with some in the fair/friendly press: Fox in general; Hannity; O'Reilly, etc.

It wasn't just Newsweek. It was dozens of newspapers around the globe who reported in the 90's that the world was alarmed at the growing relationship between OBL and Saddam.

Clinton's Justice Department obtained an indictment against OBL which cited the terrorists growing relationship with Saddam.

Dozens of mainstream press articles here:

"Here's what is known so far: ..."br>

"Is known". There you have it. That sure seems like mighty positive language too me. The MSM says Saddam had a history of supporting terrorism. The MSM says he was trying to rebuild and expand his intel assets to establish an international terrorism network. "U.S. sources" told the MSM Saddam had reached out to some Islamic terrorists who may be linked to Osama bin Laden. Saddam and bin Laden shared a mutual goal of destroying the U.S.

[Salvation]

But I thought they were saying
(sarcasm here--)
No contacts, no connections, no links........Hahahahaha! Gotcha, dimocrate media!

[Lancey Howard]

Man, you're on a roll.
BUMP for great freeping.

And for exposing the shameless hypocrisy of these same scumbag liberal newsrooms who, in their efforts to snipe at Bush on behalf of their candidate, John Kerry, now dismiss any links between al Queda and Iraq.

[LincolnLover]

Nice find.

A serious question, however: Why no comments---not a one---about the last sentence in the article?

"Saddam's terrorism capability is still small-time, according to senior U.S. officials. 'He's nowhere close to the level of the Iranians or Hizbullah', says one."

"Nowhere close" to Hizbullah? Surely a state that has such a relatively poor ability to project terrorism beyond it's own borders wouldn't or couldn't do much to support Al Quaeda---or at least far, far, far less than, say, our "allies" in Saudi Arabia did.

Assessments like this sound quite similar to the, "We had Hussein contianed and he wasn't a clear and present danger to the US, making the war unnecessary at this time" argument, do they not?

Not trying to stir the pot or anything, just making an observation and asking a serious question in hopes of receiving serious responses.

[playball0]

Willful, blissful ignorance compounded by a failure to do the simplest of research. Newsweek at its finest.

Keep digging - you're doing great!
