Saddam supported at least two al-Qaeda groups: Pentagon

The dishonest MSM and lying Demagogues re-defined the level of “links” to require clear “operational links” meaning command-and-control from Baghdad. This allows the vicious liars to ignore and discount all evidence that is not of the nature of “Saddam ordered THIS terrorist attack on this date and Al Qaeda carried it out” Of course the rational person would consider ANY support or collaboration, plus the potential for FUTURE support of more terrorism, in evaluating Saddam’s relationship with terrorism.

Saddam supported many terrorists, in and out of Al Qaeda. The greatest danger for the USA was that at any moment Saddam could greatly increase future support to serve his ends, and/or could offer Al Qaeda or another group a nice chunk of funds or material support in the interest of carrying out an attack that both agreed was worth doing.

Saddam was a large existing and potential support for terrorists of many stripes, and now he is gone. That is a wonderful thing, except the Demagogues still don’t get it.

Either way they try to spin it, Saddam had connection to terrorist groups who had connections to Al-Qaeda. There is no words they can use that will separate the facts from truth even though they will try.

I downloaded the document and spent the past hour or so reading it. It remains a sad state of affairs the Harmony Database was shut down to the public. So much could have been interpreted and made public by our jveritas and people like Steven Hayes. At least we have many important documents saved at this site and elsewhere prior to the cut off.
Of course as usual only a small portion of Americans and the rest of the world would end up deriving any benefit from the results, in the way of a better understanding of just how rapped up in terrorism Saddam and his cronies where.
