I heard this report also. FOX mentioned the British paper that is publishing this article,but I don't remember which one.Do you?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Bush has kept his word up to now. Why did the silly DNC doubt his word? LOL. This is like Charlie Brown holding the football for Lucy, but she never trusts him enough to kick.

Saddam Hussein Trained Al Qaeda Fighters - Report

— LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair's promised dossier on Iraq is to reveal that Saddam Hussein trained some of Osama bin Laden's key lieutenants, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

The dossier is also expected to disclose that the Iraqi leader has reconstructed three plants to manufacture biological and chemical weapons, it said.

Blair, facing opposition from within his own Labour Party over going to war with Iraq without U.N. backing, has recalled parliament to discuss the issue later this month and promised to publish a dossier detailing evidence against Saddam Hussein.

The Sunday Telegraph said a draft version of the dossier contains detailed information on how two alleged leading al Qaeda members, Abu Zubair and Rafid Fatah, underwent training in Iraq and are still linked to the Baghdad government.

It said Abu Zubair was an Iraqi intelligence officer trained in using terror against the Kurds in Northern Iraq. Rafid Fatah also worked with him against the Kurds, the paper added.

They were then said to have joined ranks with Osama bin Laden, accused by Washington of being the mastermind behind last year's September 11 hijack attacks.

On reports that Saddam Hussein has reconstructed three weapons plants, the paper said evidence was based on "worrying activity" captured by American satellite photographs.

One security official, quoted by the Sunday Telegraph, said the photos "clearly show very worrying activity of rebuilding work at these plants which we already knew were being used for developing chemical and biological weapons. That is what Saddam is doing again."

I heard this too.

This means that Pres. Bush needs no additional congressional approval.

[RobFromGa]

I do wonder why President George W. Bush didn't ever mention a specific link between Saddam and UBL. Maybe he was waiting for the right time to play the card?

I hope that the WH has already advised Congressional leaders of this link; if not-- we are in for a mojor HISSY-FIT where they will scream that vital info has been withheld as they all jump aboard the USS Bush.

Cross-linking:

IRAQ- some links to terror

[wimpycat]

He may or may not need it, but he'll seek it and get it just the same. Politically, it's smarter.

[gov_bean_ counter]

At that point Bush points out the security leaks and fingers the perp. Or at least the Senate office where they work. (Keeping fingers crossed, which is hard to do while typeing)

[lexington minuteman 1775]

well as kenny rogers said:"You have to know when to hold, and know when to fold". It sounds like our President is a good poker player. He has all this hands played out as he needs them. Dashle will look like the idiot he is. The allies will slowly fall into place. And Sadaam will take a long deserved dirt nap!

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

President Bush is a wonderful poker player imho. They never see him coming which is the key.

[justshe]

Agreed, wimpy.

PLUS.........I REALLY REALLY REALLY want Daschle/Kerry crowd to keep sweating.

Asking for the Resolution continues the heat.

[Gumption]

but he'll seek it and get it just the same. Politically, it's smarter.

Agreed.

[LibKill]

If it is so, then Saddam has licked his last boot.

[marvlus]

But wait! How can this be?! Scott Ritter has said there is no evidence!? Are you saying Ritter is wrong??

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Oh my, the next shoe falls...

So just how idiotic do Byrd and Daschle look now?

Not as idiotic as they'll look in a few weeks.

Little Tommy, you know all those Prairie Dog holes you have there in South Dakota? I suggest you go find one to hide in for a few years.

Seems like the Democrats have their "October Surprise."
