Was Saddam Regime a Broker for Terror Alliances?
FoxNews.com ^ | Sunday , June 25, 2006 | Ray Robison

Posted on 06/25/2006 5:55:24 PM PDT by Names Ash Housewares

Prologue:

Newly declassified documents captured by U.S. forces indicate that Saddam Hussein's inner circle not only actively reached out to the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan and terror-based jihadists in the region, but also hosted discussions with a known Al Qaeda operative about creating jihad training "centers," possibly in Baghdad.

Ray Robison, a former member of the CIA-directed Iraq Survey Group (ISG), supervised a group of linguists to analyze, archive and exploit the hundreds of captured documents and materials of Saddam's regime.

This is the final installment in a three-part series concerning a notebook kept by an Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) agent called Khaled Abd El Majid, and covers events taking place in 1999. The translation is provided by Robison's associate, known here as “Sammi.”

The first two translations from this notebook detailed an agreement between members of the Saddam regime and the Taliban to establish diplomatic and intelligence based cooperation. This final translation further advances the link between the Saddam regime and world-wide Islamic Jihad terrorism.

Really bad couple of weeks for Democrats.

Looks like all they have left about why we attacked Iraq is "for the oil."

I translated Iraqi documents that show a direct meeting of Saddam Intelligence service with Osama Bin Laden in 1995 in Sudan per Saddam authorization and Saddam regime training non Iraqi Arab Feedayeens i.e. Arabs terrorists, as well as Saddam Air force recruiting suicide terrorists from their own ranks six month before 9/11. I do not know why Foxnews never picked up these much implicating documents that show Saddam extreme strong relation with terrorism:

Nope they cant use oil either. With oil prices as high as they are, folks are starting to warm to the idea of war for oil :-)
