Excellent documentation of the linkage between al Qaeda and $oddomite's thugs before the regime change in Iraq.

Newsweek magazine ran an article in its January 11, 1999, issue headed "Saddam + Bin Laden?" "Here's what is known so far," it read:

Saddam Hussein, who has a long record of supporting terrorism, is trying to rebuild his intelligence network overseas--assets that would allow him to establish a terrorism network. U.S. sources say he is reaching out to Islamic terrorists, including some who may be linked to Osama bin Laden, the wealthy Saudi exile accused of masterminding the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa last summer.

Four days later, on January 15, 1999, ABC News reported that three intelligence agencies believed that Saddam had offered asylum to bin Laden.

Intelligence sources say bin Laden's long relationship with the Iraqis began as he helped Sudan's fundamentalist government in their efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction. . . . ABC News has learned that in December, an Iraqi intelligence chief named Faruq Hijazi, now Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, made a secret trip to Afghanistan to meet with bin Laden. Three intelligence agencies tell ABC News they cannot be certain what was discussed, but almost certainly, they say, bin Laden has been told he would be welcome in Baghdad.

My, what short memories the presstitutes have.

Well unless GW takes the bull by the horns and gets this out to the public by any means necessary then it will not see the light of day on anything other than Fox news.

No ... everybody knows that there was no connection between Al Queda and Iraq. None whatsoever; don't bother them with facts, their biased, evil, treasonous minds are made up.

Al Gore's administration, the US Justice department under J. Reno explcitly stated in official US documents that Iraq and al Qaeda were cooperating.

04 November 1998 BIN LADEN, ATEF INDICTED IN U.S. FEDERAL COURT FOR AFRICAN BOMBINGS

Gore is such a low life.

My, what short memories the presstitutes have.

Not only are they wrong in their claims that there were no ties or working relationship between Al Queda and Saddam's Iraq, they actually know such a relationship existed and are lieing about it. So they have information that our two greatest enemies were collaborating about attacking our homeland, but insist on lying about what they know and continue to cover up the connection. They should at least have their citizenship revoked.

That's a really interesting link. Even with that 3rd-to-last paragraph, and many others like it, you couldn't get Lefties to admit a Saddam-AlQ connection.

But really, all we're looking for are the swing voters in the middle.

Ping; we're starting to see information come out. I expect this to build over the coming months, until it is plain to see (even for the willfully blind) and impossible to ignore.
