I'm beginning to think that a sworn affidavit by Saddam or live testimony even would not be enough for the MSM. After all, he's under duress.
I think the Bush Administration has done a lousy job, up to this point, of making this clear.
If this was legit, it would have been known by now.
actually, the cns stuff was reported extensively when it came out a week ago.
You don't need to cofound this thread with facts. Your tone is not helpful to my aspirations. :-)
But the American voting public needs more than "documents." Sadly, society's deconstruction has made us visually-oriented to the exclusion of the written word.
We need pictures.
Like pictures of a filthy Soddom in a hole in the ground; pictures of Bigley's head held up by a deranged Islamofascist; pictures of Kerry throwing his medals away; pictures of Kerry's Dishonorable Discharge...
The hunt isn't just for all the connections between Sadda/Iraq and OBL/9-11, the hunt must also include the Clinton connection. That is what all this silliness has been about, protecting Willie and the Clinton criminality. Everything attacking Bush has been a standard crapweasel/Clinton diversion!!!
Exclusive: Saddam Possessed WMD, Had Extensive Terror Ties
By Scott Wheeler

October 04, 2004
A senior government official who is not a political appointee provided CNSNews.com with copies of the 42 pages of Iraqi Intelligence Service documents. The originals, some of which were hand-written and others typed, are in Arabic. CNSNews.com had the papers translated into English by two individuals separately and independent of each other.
There are no hand-writing samples to which the documents can be compared for forensic analysis and authentication. However, three other experts - a former weapons inspector with the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM), a retired CIA counter-terrorism official with vast experience dealing with Iraq, and a former advisor to then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton on Iraq - were asked to analyze the documents. All said they comport with the format, style and content of other Iraqi documents from that era known to be genuine.
Laurie Mylroie, who authored the book, "Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein's Unfinished War against America," and advised Clinton on Iraq during the 1992 presidential campaign, told CNSNews.com that the papers represent "the most complete set of documents relating Iraq to terrorism, including Islamic terrorism" against the U.S.
Mylroie has long maintained that Iraq was a state sponsor of terrorism against the United States. The documents obtained by CNSNews.com , she said, include "correspondence back and forth between Saddam's office and Iraqi Mukhabarat (intelligence agency). They make sense. This is what one would think Saddam was doing at the time."
Bruce Tefft, a retired CIA official who specialized in counter-terrorism and had extensive experience dealing with Iraq, said that "based on available, unclassified and open source information, the details in these documents are accurate ..."
The former UNSCOM inspector zeroed in on the signatures on the documents and "the names of some of the people who sign off on these things.
"This is fairly typical of that time era. [The Iraqis] were meticulous record keepers," added the former U.N. official, who spoke with CNSNews.com on the condition of anonymity.
The senior government official, who furnished the documents to CNSNews.com, said the papers answer "whether or not Iraq was a state sponsor of Islamic terrorism against the United States. It also answers whether or not Iraq had an ongoing biological warfare project continuing through the period when the UNSCOM inspections ended."
More connections between Soddom and al Qaeda that the MSM can't hide, lie about and spin about.
Please ping this to your pingees!
I think that's asking a little much. I'm sure they weren't having KODAK moments together.
Actually if the word gets out to the average re intelligence moderate/independent voter, this will count.
It will never convince the mentally ill of the lunatic left.
Exactly, only one source is unnamed.
It SHOULD be breaking news, but do you really think CBS, NBC, or CNN are going to break it?
I haven't even heard it on Fox!!!
Even if he proves they are genuine this will go no where because it would undermine Kerry. The major media are members of the "Party uber alles" crowd and would gladly sacrifice thousands of Americans to get Kerry elected and to generate a news frenzy. A safe, democratic world doesn't need many "Special Reports".
This was posted several days ago. But is seems to have fallen on the deaf ears of the MSM. This story needs to be pumped up and sent out everywhere. This will be the nail in the coffin of Kerry's Campaign if the documents are valid and if we keep them in the public eye. MSM won't help at all.
SO when is BUSH going to MAKE THIS KNOWN TO ALL?
SOON, I hope!
What is "World Magazine"?
BTTT!
I always thought Saddam Hussein was linked to terrorism. His party the Baath Party are the modern day Nazis of the Third Reich.
