March 17, 2006: Declassified documents from Iraq show 3,000 Saudi and Iraqi mujihideen depart Iraq in Nov 2001 to fight US in Afghanistan
The newly declassified documents shed more and more light on the evolution of the violent insurgency in Iraq, and show that Saddam Hussein’s government was aware not just of the presence of Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Mus’ab Al Zarqawi, but also was aware that the Anbar province in Iraq was being used as a launch point for organized groups of jihadis headed to fight the United States in Afghanistan.
The document, addressed to the Security Board, Fedayeen Saddam at the office of the Presidency in Iraq, reports what it describes as a “rumor”, says:
there is a group of Iraqi and Saudi Arabians numbering around 3,000 who have gone in an unofficial capacity to Afghanistan and have joined the mujahidin to fight with and aid them in defeating the American Zionist Imperialist attack
This clearly indicates that Iraq was being used as a transit point or launch point for Saudi Arabian jihadis, as well as Iraqis, who wanted to go join the forces of Osama Bin Laden in Iraq in November 2001, nearly a year and a half before the US and Coalition forces commenced military action against Saddam Hussein’s regime.
The sheer volume of “mujahideen” that reportedly departed from the Anbar province, combined with the presence of Zarqawi in Iraq, indicates the presence of an organized Al Qaeda infrastructure within Iraq just a few months after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
The Anbar province is Iraq’s largest province and is located east and southeast of Baghdad. Anbar borders the neighboring states of Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, making it a popular transit point for the insurgents moving in and out of Iraq.

Re: Rumor
Greetings.
1. In the report on the status of rumors for November of 2001 regarding Fedayeen Saddam in al-Anbar, there is an entry that indicates that there is a group of Iraqi and Saudi Arabians numbering around 3,000 who have gone in an unofficial capacity to Afghanistan and have joined the mujahidin to fight with and aid them in defeating the American Zionist Imperialist attack.
2. After presenting the matter to the Supervisor of Fedayeen Saddam, he ordered that the matter should be looked into for verification of the truth of the rumor.
Please review and inform us.

"2. After presenting the matter to the Supervisor of Fedayeen Saddam, he ordered that the matter should be looked into for verification of the truth of the rumor"
So, is there a follow up doc saying it was a rumor or not?
Hi StillProud,
Do you know if there is a follow up doc or are you still looking?
Will Chrissy use this tonight to apologize to the president?
I like this better.
Too bad the RINO's won't allow the "white flag" ad to be run again on TV
Pass this "white flag" ad from Dec 2005 around on the internet, it's from gop.com
http://www.gop.com/Media/120905.wmv
At least gop.com has not been taken over by the RINO's!
DRIP...DRIP...DRIP. You know this stuff will trickle out for months. The MSM will by in large ignore it. But like Nixon's tapes THEY WILL BE THERE for all to read and see for all history and this will vindicate GW in the eyes of history.
No way man. Saudi Arabia is our eternal friends.
We pay for their ability to kill westerners and for their "royal" family. If you think the Democrat elite is a bunch of pathetic turds you should look into the saudi turd "royals".
Personally I'd love to see the whole family overthrown and sent to allah.
its time to call saudi arabia on the carpet.

Dems: Hey, no problem!
That's all that they have up so far... will keep checking
That liberal prick won't apologize for anything, he'll still talk about the lack of WMD's, how Bush lied and how Iraq is "on the brink of civil war," whatever that means.
wow it looks like you will be busy

OH, REALLY?!?
Thanks for the ping. It will become more difficult for the MSM to ignore this.
