AL QAEDA OPERATIVE CAUGHT IN IRAQ (Hassan Ghul)(Not a re-post)

An al Qaeda operative with close ties to the suspected mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks has been captured in Iraq.
US president George W Bush said Hassan Ghul was helping al Qaeda step up attacks by insurgents against soldiers in Iraq.
He was captured last week.
Al Qaeda members are believed to have entered Iraq after the war last year that toppled President Saddam Hussein.
Mr Bush said Ghul "reported directly" to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who is suspected of coordinating the September 11 attacks on the United States that killed about 3,000 people and who was captured in Pakistan in March.
"He (Ghul) was moving money and messages around South Asia and the Middle East. He's a part of this network of haters that we're dismantling," Bush said.
"He was captured in Iraq where he was helping al Qaeda to put pressure on our troops. There's one less enemy we need to worry about with the capture of Hassan Ghul."
The Bush administration says there was a link between al Qaeda and Saddam although Bush has said there was no evidence that Saddam was involved in the September 11 attacks.

There are so many being captured now that I had to check the name with the other posts to make sure it's not a re-post.

This must be a mistake. Everyone knows there is no link between Al Qaeda and Iraq. Katie Colonic told us so.

As we say in Texas: "Git a rope!"

I"m really beginning to wonder if they did get Bin Laden (or maybe his computer with all of his pals listed on it). There have been so many top-level arrests that I really think that they must have nabbed somebody big.

So am I. Either that or they have located him and are just waiting for the right opportunity to strike. That would be terrific. Keeping my fingers crossed.

"Katie Colonic told us so."I liked the Freeper moniker: al-Qatie Couric.
In any event, good news here so don't hold your breath waiting for the lamestream presstiutes to give it much play....

Everyone knows there is no link between Al Qaeda and Iraq. Well, to be perfectly fair, the fact that an A-Q operative was captured in Iraq now, does not necessarily mean that there was a working relationship between A-Q prior to the war. The argument can be advanced that A-Q is there now, because we are there now.
Of course, there could also have been a partnership prior to the war, and I think there probably was -- which makes the whole thing moot. ;-)

Abu Nidal was in Iraq under Saddam's protection and was training Al Queda members when he "shot himself in the head mu8ltiple times just as the Iraqi police were going to arrest him in his apartment.
To: VRWCmember
Exactly! This has to be a fraud or a mistake - we have been told that there are no links between Saddam/Iraq/AlQaeda...

The only proof I will accept is video-taped confession -- and even my belief in this is subject to my biases.
