The Guild 9-15-2002 Saddam Hussein Trained Al Qaeda Fighters - Report

LONDON (Reuters) ^ | September 14, 2002

British Prime Minister Tony Blair's promised dossier on Iraq is to reveal that Saddam Hussein trained some of Osama bin Laden's key lieutenants, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

The dossier is also expected to disclose that the Iraqi leader has reconstructed three plants to manufacture biological and chemical weapons, it said.

Blair, facing opposition from within his own Labour Party over going to war with Iraq without U.N. backing, has recalled parliament to discuss the issue later this month and promised to publish a dossier detailing evidence against Saddam Hussein.

The Sunday Telegraph said a draft version of the dossier contains detailed information on how two alleged leading al Qaeda members, Abu Zubair and Rafid Fatah, underwent training in Iraq and are still linked to the Baghdad government.

It said Abu Zubair was an Iraqi intelligence officer trained in using terror against the Kurds in Northern Iraq. Rafid Fatah also worked with him against the Kurds, the paper added.

They were then said to have joined ranks with Osama bin Laden, accused by Washington of being the mastermind behind last year's September 11 hijack attacks.

On reports that Saddam Hussein has reconstructed three weapons plants, the paper said evidence was based on "worrying activity" captured by American satellite photographs.

One security official, quoted by the Sunday Telegraph, said the photos "clearly show very worrying activity of rebuilding work at these plants which we already knew were being used for developing chemical and biological weapons. That is what Saddam is doing again."

Thanks for the link - this should be interesting if your teaser was any indication of the way they think.

The last thoughts for the day:

They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies.
Mine isn't all that communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said, "Body, how'd you like to go to the six o'clock class in vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell my body said, "listen witch... do it and die."

The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.

I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are: eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That is my idea of a perfect day.

I know what Victoria's Secret is. The secret is that nobody older than 30 can fit into their stuff.

If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a noose around your neck?

You and I both know there is NO social security fund because the dems consistently "raid" it to support their incessant spending sprees.

SS should be phased out, and people should be encouraged to invest in the market. The returns, even in years like this one, are so far superior than the meager couple of percentage points of interest which SS gives them. TRUTH! We need to talk truth to the American people and they will get it - Go Bush Go!

I opened another window for further study of the enemy. Thanks again.

Did you hear that Detroit has a mooselimb population estimated to be around 350,000? Can this be correct? That is a mind-boggling number.

[SuziQ]

Amazing! You hang something in your closet for awhile and it shrinks two sizes!

I really HATE when that happens!

[lodwick]

[SuziQ]

Sadly, all of those punks were BORN in the United States!!!!

I thought I read they were all Yemenis! Are they of Yemeni heritage, but born here?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Actually the muslim population is closer to 400,000 and the largest outside of the middle east. The PUBLIC schools all have special prayer rooms and lunch rooms for the muslim students. There are areas around here where you never hear English and Al Jazara plays on the televisions in the restaurants and shops.


I will also mention that some of the 9-11 terrorists had lived here and we discovered that several others received phoney Hazardous Material Licenses around here.

Also, one of those punks captured in Buffalo lived here.

[lodwick]

Man, man, man...we are truly living in the most interesting of times.

Be well, stay safe, and take good care up there. The camel has obviously got more than his nose in our tent.

TheLook is getting
even more serious

Damm...I was hoping for a Card. What a difference a letter makes.

And I'd set it up so well with hammering the guys first.

[Iowa Granny]

Good Morning. 35 years ago, today, I got married.

[Iowa Granny]

Thank you. What a coincidence. It looks like those are Gold Finches (the official Iowa Bird) resting on a rose branch (wild Rose: Official flower of Iowa)

[BigWaveBetty]

Coincidence?! I'll have you know I have encyclopedic knowledge of all the state birds and flowers and have just been itching to use it. Yeah, that's the ticket. ;-)

[BigWaveBetty]

Mr. B enjoyed it. (really I did too, just don't tell the ladies ;-)
