Yes, Isearl is our ally. Saddam and the rest of his Baathist thugs were primary funders of Pali tertrorists : they were Pali training camps in Iraq and Saddam made no secret of the fact that he paid $25 grand to the family of any successful homocide bomb or any Pali "martyr", prompting Pali terrorists to shoot other, lower Pali terrorists in the backs during conflicts, blaming it on the IDF and thus claiming the bucks.
Iraqi terrorism is of extreme interest to our own national security, but extreme, immediate interest to Israeli national security due to the close relationship Saddam and Yasser had with other terrorists destroying Israel in a war of apparent attrition.
I thought the same for the same reason until I worked my way down this thread. I'm getting confused again though :P
