Not What They Supposed - The terror connection missed by the Clintonistas

The Weekly Standard ^ | 4/14/2008 | Stephen F. Hayes

"The Iraqi Perspectives Project (IPP) review of captured Iraqi documents uncovered strong evidence that links the regime of Saddam Hussein to regional and global terrorism."

[FreedomPoster]

And jveritas showed those links, from many of those same documents, here, long before the IPP report was released.

It may have been released March 13, but the msm will tell no one about it until the next attack under a democrat and Bush will be blamed for not doing more with this information.

Excellent post!

Highlighting this:

"This is not only a question of political accountability--it also bears on our nation's fundamental approach to security," they wrote. On that, at least, they were right.

[Dan(9698)]

Has anyone asked these Clinton era officials for their comment now that the study has been done?

[avacado]

The new IPP Report showed that Saddam directly funded the group ‘Islamic Jihad’ which *is* al-Qaeda. That's all I need to know and it should be blasted all over the MSM.

[GVnana]

I haven't found any response. More on Simon and Benjamin:

Steven Simon, Hasib J. Sabbagh Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies

Daniel Benjamin, Senior Fellow in the International Security Program, Center for Strategic & International Studies

"But when it comes to fighting the decentralized threat of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, Benjamin and Simon maintain, the best defense is not a good offense, but a good defense."

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

From the close:

********************EXCERPT***********************

Back in 2003, Benjamin and Simon wrote that the Iraq war was sold to the American people "as Phase II in the war on terror that began after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. But was there ever a credible basis for carrying that battle to Iraq?"

We have our answer.

Stephen F. Hayes is a senior writer at THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

"But was there ever a credible basis for carrying that battle to Iraq?"

Gee... don't they think that non honoring a surrender agreement is a credible basis for war?

[jveritas]

Thank you FP. Stephen Hayes is one of the very few journalists who have been working for long time on uncovering Saddam strong relation to terrorism, I am glad that he is still talking and writing about it.

bump for later read

[FlashBack]

I just wish the msm would cover at least some of this!!!!!

[Kackikat]

Is there a link to that information?

[MHGinTN]

Rush needs to be notified of the particulars on this one. His voice is about the only way America is going to find out what the report says because the traitors in the mainstream media will not report this as it needs to be broadcast ... it might effect the election of the media’s beloved enemy aiding democrats!

[jveritas]

Covering it will proves their lies, they are not going to cover it.

Links are highlighted in red and appear with the article excerpt as posted above.

The Great One, too.

[FreedomPoster]

No, thank YOU!

You’ve done great work here.

[MHGinTN]

I would not put it past Mark to read every darn word of the report! He’s an amazing guy, the Great One.
