Hussein was a hero to Muslim militants. Iraq was a safe haven for all manner of Islamic terrorists. Saddam tried to kill former President Bush. That alone justifies removing him from power. In the end, the lies of the Left will be defeated. Truth will reign supreme.

Thanks for putting it in black and white again right in front of their noses.

I can clearly remember the warnings we received before the Gulf War. They said that we would very likely be the target of terrorism. And if I recall correctly, they said it would most likely occur over the next five years.

Dems are forced to say that, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Hussein had no ties to terrorism. Since they are excoriating Bush for not pursuing Al-Qaeda enough, they have to pretend that Hussein had no ties to it. Admitting that the fighting in Iraq is related to the anti-terrorist war would be to admit that Bush is right, which he obviously is, and take the legs out from underneath the demonstrably false Dem position. So they have to keep their blinders on and lie to the American public. As Christopher Hitchens has stated, the dumbest thing he's heard yet is the Dem claim that we should be fighting Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and not Iraq.

I think this is a very interesting article, though most of the points you've raised are very speculative in nature.

Using a $104 million civil court judgement -- especially by a judge with a reputation for judicial idiocy like Harold Baer -- as a "fairly substantial validation of the links between Hussein and Bin Laden" makes no sense at all.

Interestingly, I have become more convinced over time that there was a connection between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. What bothers the hell out of me, though, is that this connection will never be admitted by the U.S. government because it would effectively expose the last three administrations (Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II) in this country as the most disgraceful period in our nation's history.

Good piece!

"No, the simple reason is that Saddam Hussein was an ally to Al-Qaeda and other international terrorist organizations for years, and his downfall deals a harsh blow to them. Their aim is to force free people everywhere to embrace their way of thinking and destroy anyone who does not capitulate, and dictators such as Saddam lend them the support they need to accomplish their goal. In fact, evidence of the willingness of Osama Bin Laden to ally himself with Saddam Hussein out of mutual interest, has been found in an audio-taped message by the terrorist mastermind released in February, 2003. One of the statements on the tape relates "there is nothing wrong in Muslim interests converging with those of the socialists (Ba'athists) in the battle against the Crusaders (United States and Israel), even if we believe and declare that the socialists are apostates."

To me this sums it up. they would kill us all each and evry one of us. so we must kill them back and hit them hard if we even think they might bring harm to us. good article.
