It never was to the layman who hasn't overshot his sensibilities by being in a position of political power.
Report Details Saddam's Support for Terrorists Who Killed Americans
The above link is the FreeRepublic discussion thread.
The actual article is :
"Saddam Hussein’s Philanthropy of Terror"
It is a pdf document with substantial footnotes and put together by Dewey Murdock of the Hudson Institute.
Hayes's book is available at amazon. Get it.
Eeeek. Screeech. The holy men of al-Qaeda and the secular Ba'athists of Iraq could NEVER overcome their differences sufficiently to combine forces and strike at the US. We have it on good authority from the great luminaries of the American Left tradition, that this could not happen, under any circumstances.
This is OBVIOUSLY only a figment of the imagination of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
Anything they may learn from us would be a tipoff that could allow terrorists to adjust their plans and succeed in carrying out an attack that could cost tens of thousands of American lives and perhaps result in the utter destruction of a major U.S. city.
That's why they won't talk about this publicly -- yet.
As the President has repeatedly said: this is a new kind of war.
History will judge President Bush far more fairly than the Leftists do today.

A MUST read.

Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)
In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”
The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden “will strike America on the arm that is already hurting,” and that the US “will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs” – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, “New York, New York”.

I think these reporters are going to be on Meet the Press tomorrow morning.
You mean Sunday morning? At least if it's on Russert, the leftists might see it.
I think I read the reporters would be on Sunday's MTP. I could have misunderstood, however. I'm setting the VCR.
Interesting, but it won't fit on a bumper sticker.
Bump
Hey libs it's easy to dismiss these reports of collusion between Hussein and Al-Qaeda. Just close your eyes, put your hands over your ears, and when anyone tries to relate facts to you, just shout nonsense syllables or words like "enron" "halliburton" "war for oil" and other handy lib talking points at the top of your lungs. This method should prove effective when some nasty conservative provides overwhelming proof of Hussein's ties to international terrorism and Al-Qaeda.
Four days later, on January 15, 1999, ABC News ....
NPR reporter Mike Shuster interviewed Vincent Cannistraro.....
By mid-February 1999, journalists did not even feel the need to qualify these claims of an Iraq-al Qaeda relationship. An Associated Press dispatch that ran in the Washington Post ended this way: "The Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against Western powers."
The collective amnesia of the press is astounding.
These quotes are (I assume) undeniable and, as such, this has GOT to get out to the public.
And it can't just be a review at Fox News....
the left will just blow it off and bury it.
This is a job for Chaney....
"Since all this fine, investigative journalism matched the intelligence we were receiving both internally and externally, we felt that we had no choice but to act preemptively before this threat became imminent."
