But, but, Saddam was secular and HATED terrorists? Right?
The NYT has told us for over 2 years that President Bush dreamed it all up, the entire decade of the 90's, right?

Oh come on, this is irrelavent. That was 1999 during the Clinton Administration. It's different now, Bush is president. Zarqawi wasn't in Iraq before the war either.
Believe that and I'll show you a democrat to vote for.

old news
as the Dems would say.

To: bayourod
Old news? More like an entire decade vanished into thin air.
It is frightening how an entire western media, academics, and the Dem party can change history in a matter of 2 years.
And even more scary how many Americans say, OK, lets go to blockbuster.

Abu Abbas is another terrorist that Iraq sheltered.

As soon as Clinton left office, this type of quality reporting all but ceased at the Times.

I remember distinctly that the NYT had an editorial that Saddam was lobbying the UN for lifting of sanctions, and the NYT said NO, he could not be trusted, ever, but sanctions were not working and hurting his people.
They encouraged Clinton to think about regime change, with boots on the ground, going to the UN, ect.
I remember thinking, wow, I agree with this editorial, and then realized they were trying to get Clinton out of his oval office messes, by changing the subject.
I wish I knew how to find that editorial.

Abu Nidal. Abu Abbas. Al Zarqawi. Need we say anything more? If Bin Laden where there, Saddam would have been four for four on the biggest terrorist that anybody could name. 3-4 is enough to get his @ss bombed though. Rangel can go suck it if he thinks that the first three aren't terrorists enough to justify the article of war that he voted for.

Abu Nidal in Iraq? I wonder if Oliver North will re-enlist? This is the terrorist that tried to kill North and his family back in the 80's.

. Does the cessation of interest in terrorism during the 90's correlate to Clinton's leaving office, or to the arrival of Howell Raines in the editor's job at The NYT?
To: bpjam
Abu Nidal. Abu Abbas. Al Zarqawi. Need we say anything more? Yes. "Ansar al-Islam" and "ricin". Ansar's poisoner-in-chief was a frequent and honored guest in Baghdad. I don't know where he is now, can't even remember his name, but he was definitely a person of interest, especially after all that ricin turned up in a radical mosque in London. Scotland Yard's people were pretty torqued about that.
To: Mo1
Good find. Will add to my list.
