Terror Links to Saddam's Inner Circle (newly revealed document)
FoxNews ^ | June 11, 2006 | Ray Robison

Posted on 06/11/2006 6:48:24 PM PDT by FairOpinion

What was the relationship between Saddam Hussein's inner circle and Islamic terrorists? A newly released document captured in Iraq, but never before seen by the public, offers glimmers of new insight at the Pentagon's Foreign Military Studies Office Web site. The FMSO is a research and analysis center under the U.S. Army's Training and Doctrine Command. This particular document mentions two men with similar names, each with ties to Pakistani religious schools known as madrassas, Jihad training camps, the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

This original translation by my translator-colleague, who goes by the nom de guerre of "Sammi," comes from a notebook kept by an Iraqi intelligence agent. It provides evidence of a cooperative, operational relationship agreed to at the highest levels of the Iraqi government and the Taliban. The notebook is lengthy and we will present it on the FOX News Web site in a series of postings. It deals extensively with meetings between Maulana Fazlur Rahman, an Al Qaeda/Taliban supporter, and Taha Yassin Ramadan, the former vice president of Iraq, and other unnamed Iraqi officials.

Ever since he SAT on the Saddam docs for 2yrs while Bush was savaged as a 'liar' and all this BS I don't trust him.

Add in that he was spinning it one way, and when backed into a corner he started to spin another.

NO.... I do no trust Negroponte AT ALL... period.

I should have figured that out. It was too much to hope for--a press that wants the truth to be told! What was I thinking?

::RAZZ:: to them! :^p

But, but, but... Saddam was SECULAR.

He hated the Islamists too darned much to have anything to do with them. Honest.

This document appears to provide evidence that in 1999 the Taliban welcomed "Islamic relations with Iraq" to mediate between the Taliban, the Northern Alliance and Russia.

Not possible..Dan Rather told me so.

The links that Iraq had with Al Qaeda went back over 10 years. In the 90's, the media was writing about the world's alarm at the relationship between Saddam and Al Qaeda.

Of course, once it became a cause for war, the leftists had to pretend they didn't write what they clearly wrote. LOL

What do you mean everyone was for war in the 90's? None of those articles mentions war. They mention that Saddam Hussein had a growing relationship with Al Qaeda operatives and communications with Osama bin Laden.

Bubba passed out rose colored glasses at every "event". He did nothing after 1993 when we were hit on our own soil. It was just another minor event which was over with a few deaths. No big deal to him. The Towers, the Cole...No big deal.

He made it his own perfect world...run by himself and all solutions were based on money. He projects the same things today. Nothing really bothers him. He's just one of those people.

Call on the Democrats for a formal apology to the President NOW... Kerry, Edwards, Kennedy, Clinton, Reid, Pelosi, need to get in front of cameras and formally apologize for stating that there were no connections...

The MSM is history.
