Saddam's Ties to Al Queda ^ | 052605 | Sam Pender

[Blackrain4xmas]

The following stems from my book, Saddam's Ties to Al Queda. The book is a monster-sized info source for Al Queda, and the ties to Saddam's Iraq, but it also has a massive section based on the oil-for-food scandal on which Saddam's ties seem to have revolved. This is not a Bush Admin theory, but my theory, and it's proven in the book. This post lists a summary of the various oil-for-food confrontations, but the book details each one even further. Each confrontation summarized in this post, can be viewed in detail in the book, or in the hyperlink used as the source for this post. There's a LOT of information here, and it took some time, so I hope you find it informative and perhaps even useful. -Sam Pender

I have your book. Good job.

This is a link to the ties between Saddam and Osama bin Laden, although I've lost the link from the article last week that claimed that Saddam was the "father" of Al Qaeda.
