Osama bin Laden tried to purchase the world's largest pearl, the Pearl of Allah, as a gift to Saddam Hussein "to unite the Arab cultures," and Hussein was prepared to accept, according to the pearl's owner.
Victor Barbish, who owns sixty-six percent of the pearl on behalf of his daughter, told WorldNetDaily he received an offer in 1999 from individuals who said they were "from bin Laden's group" to purchase the pearl for $60 million to give to Hussein as an overture of unity between al-Qaida and the Iraqi government.

"Barbish says the offer was presented to him in September 1999.
Barbish claims Soria and Bhak received the offer in 1999 from bin Laden through Latif Faed, an Iranian immigrant who was starting a chain of gasoline-station stores in California, and Faed's friend Azad Amiri. He says Faed and Amiri told him they were a "direct connection" to bin Laden's people"
And note the date!

"Barbish also says a man who identified himself as Muhammed Faed, a contact for Saddam Hussein in London, was involved in the negotiations and told Barbish that Hussein was prepared to accept the pearl as a token of unity with bin Laden.
Barbish provided WorldNetDaily with a series of signed faxes from Soria on Bhak "
And he has direct evidence!!!

This is REAL "explosive" revelation.
With lots of supporting evidence.
This should get a lot of attention, but you are right, it probably won't.

Saddam then asked Osama to draw a nude portrait of him wearing the pearl.
To: HereComesTheGOP
So Saddam said no? If he said No - this is proof of what? That al-Qaeda failed to woo Saddam?

Barbish said, "In spite of ongoing investigations, I just couldn't sit back and listen to these lies about our government and President Bush. There was a connection between Saddam Hussein and bin Laden. Bin Laden tried to purchase my pearl as a gift to Saddam, and Saddam wanted to accept it, and I want the truth to get out there."Pearls before swine, I'm afraid.

Saddam was ready to accept it. Read the article at WND, it's very interesting and specific.

Right, Destro. If Saddam had accepted the jewel, that would mean something.
Still, Bush will win
