I know the first victim in war is truth, but the fact is the facility in Salman Park is used for Counter-Terrorism training by the Iraqi secret police.

Saddam HATES radical islam, the idea that Saddam would invite islamic terrorists to Iraq for training is about as laughable as Ariel Sharon inviting Yassir Arafat over for Sunday dinner.

The only Islamic terrorists who have been to Salman Park were their for their execution.

The America people as a whole are stupid, they will believe ANYTHING the government tells them, but the rest of the world isn't buying the Iraq terroism story.

That's how the Empire was created, and how it continues to grow. People simply believe what they are told. The media offers no alternative view (in spite of lack of enthusiasm for the "war" in some portions of the media), because they are too lazy to check facts or research anything.

Frankly, this story reminds me of the "baby incubator" story after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Oh, my, how people fell for that whopper. But they never learn: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. But then, people want to be fooled.

The fact is that secular arab regimes like those in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Algeria, etc., are among the best things possible for US interests, as these regimes HATE moslem fundamentalists and do everything in their power to destroy them. This Iraq-Al Qaeda link is sheer fantasy, cooked up by those who want us to invade Iraq for reasons and purposes they do not want to talk about. Suffice to say, this is not in the best interests of the USA, but is, rather, in the best interests of an entirely different country.

Hmmmm...maybe. Maybe not. Ever heard the phrase "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", not to patronize you or condescend, but we are Saddam's enemy. I find it hard to totally pass on the notion Saddam would refuse a chance to kick us in the luggage.

Sadaam will use any and all means to destroy those he wishes to destroy. He may contain radical Islam in his own country in order to protect himself from overthrow, but don't think for a moment he wouldn't use those terrorists to attack someone else!
