But seriously - I really do wish more people would understand this point. Yes I understand that the new lefty talking-point will just be "but bin Laden turned him down". But even the request demolishes their earlier talking-point, which was that we needn't ever worry about cooperation at all because Saddam wouldn't want to due to bin Laden being so supposedly Religious. Clearly, Saddam wanted to cooperate!
Anyone who ever sincerely wrote or said anything remotely resembling the secular/religious theory is thereby proven to be an idiot.

Yep, and like I have pointed out to them in the past, Saddam was perfectly willing to deal with the religious fanatics in Iran when he thought he could save his air force. That alone made mince meat of the "secular/religious theory"...
