The Clinton administration talked about firm evidence linking Saddam Hussein's regime to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network years before President Bush made the same statements.
In fact, during President Clinton's eight years in office, there were at least two official pronouncements of an alarming alliance between Baghdad and al Qaeda. One came from William S. Cohen, Mr. Clinton's defense secretary. He cited an al Qaeda-Baghdad link to justify the bombing of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan.
The other pronouncement is contained in a Justice Department indictment on Nov. 4, 1998, charging bin Laden with murder in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
The indictment disclosed a close relationship between al Qaeda and Saddam's regime, which included specialists on chemical weapons and all types of bombs, including truck bombs, a favorite weapon of terrorists.

Sandy Berger has had the guts to show his face? The human document shredder? Makes me glad we weren't home to watch the shout shows. LOL
They are obeying orders?
Exactly. Ex-act-ly. E-x-a-c-t-l-y.
The libs and the DBM treat this war as if it's a court case...they see themselves as the 'articulate' defense counselor versus the mean Distrct Attorney...George W. Bush.
I guess you haven't been following the news? There are only several hundred news items proclaiming, that the US Senate Report found NO link between Al Qaeda and Saddam.

Chin up and hammer down!
That's a kind generous and hopeful sentiment--to think the best of one's fellow man will rise up the reality of the moment and pursue the good instead of the bad. Given the abysmal record of the Democrats on matters of national security in the years leading up to and since 9-11, however, it strikes me as an utterly misplaced and naive hope.

I'd forgotten about that memo, Txsleuth!
Maybe tomorrow would be a good time to re-post it.
Oh, yeah...Sandy was the worst.....Bubba and Rodham both just said the movie was full of lies...but Sandy said that it shouldn't be shown because it is so false.
Peach, you are a peach. :)
Thanks for saving, organizing and posting all those links.
You're welcome, FairOpinion. I know a lot of freepers have seen that list before (many, many times) and I'm sorry it's so long but there's almost always a few freepers who've never seen it before so I decide to bug everybody else. LOL
Wow. Ping to myself, and a huge thanks to Peach.
Sandy should be ashamed to show his face after what he did. I'm surprised to hear he's surfaced.
All that stealing of documents was to protect his legacy and Clinton's. And who knows what they put IN the file; we only know what they took out.
You're welcome, Voss.
They do, don't they? They just say it and say it and say it.
And for the life of me, I still don't remember that being one of the reasons George Bush said we needed to go to Iraq.
But it's nice to see none other than The Washington Post say Bill Clinton said it first, isn't it???
Whoops.........The Washington Times.
But anyway, HILLARY will see it over her breakfast table and so will most of D.C.
Just keep reposting it many times, especially between now and the elections, to remind people how much proof exists totally debunking the Dems lies.
"...it strikes me as an utterly misplaced and naive hope."
It's not a hope. It's reality. As much as the libs rant and rave, they don't have the power to overcome reality. Reality is a sobring thing, you know. It's one thing to make outragous statements when you've got no power, but yet another to actually run things when you are in power.
I'll bet there are more in Iran,, by far,,, and more in syria. I'll bet Iraq is just a training ground
