“When pressed for specifics Degn said that Hussein's regime, like many other Middle Eastern groups, used the “Hawala” system to secretly move money to al Qaeda and made it nearly impossible to “prove” in a legal system that the transfers took place. The “Hawala” system uses multiple layers of middle men couriers to transfer money and leaves no paper trail, making tracing such transactions virtually impossible.” It is this difficulty which the democrat party and their fifth column enemedia chose to exploit, to claim there was no connection, knowing many of the connection would be very tenuous in nature but solid nonetheless. The democrat party leadership are not just unpatriotic, they behaved as enemies of this nation as a means to exploit the war on terrorism and empower their party as ‘the loyal opposition’ ... when they were a lot of things despicable, but loyal they were not!

There’s plenty anecdotal evidence to prove prior Iraq/AQ involvement.

1. AQ could not possibly have moved into Iraq as quickly and effectively as it had if there were not an already well known system of safe houses, contacts, money caches, etc and so on in existence. AQ could not possibly have exploited those necessary infrastructure items required to establish itself as quickly as it had unless the leadership of AQ was well briefed prior to the movement. Briefs of this nature can only be conducted face to face.

2. Ansar al Islam was, for all practical purposes, an operational branch of AQ. Same funding sources, same training system based in Afghanistan, same transport networks. Ansar al Islam was protected by the Iraqi army prior to our invasion.
