[history]
Washington has claimed that the group, Ansar al-Islam, connects Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda. The Kurds also say Ansar could be an obstacle in any U.S.-led offensive on Saddam through the north.
A ground assault against Ansar, using Kurdish forces, was also being prepared and could start soon after Friday night's strike, said a high-level official of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Impossible. This story is a CIA fabrication. Hillary and Schumer both said along with Tom Daschole that there was no proof of a link to terrorism.

"Pentagon officials said Friday night they had no information about a strike on Ansar." A CIA shot from Predators?

But....but....the left says Saddam is a man of peace. America is the enemy!
If Iraq really has Al Quata, just like our President said, why, the Democrat politicians would look really stupid right now.
By golly, they really do look stupid right now. Go figure!
To: Ooh-Ah
But, the report adds, "There is no hard evidence to suggest that Ansar al-Islam is more than a minor irritant in local Kurdish politics."Yea I believe they assasinated a few Kurdish leaders a couple of weeks ago,minor irritant?

Anyone else 'get the feeling' that the anthrax that showed up in Daschles office may be the equivalent of the Italian mafia sending a 'marked target' a horse head?
