This is pretty series. He will be played more than gore and daschle - his views represent the hopes and dreams/aspirations of most reports, newswhores. He is calling the administration on the basic facts - IRAQ IS AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE PART OF THE WAR ON TERROR.

Bush better have ammo left to fire back. It's been my contention all along that they have some major Al-Qaeda/Iraq aces in the hole but here's Kennedy saying - I've seen it all and there's NOTHING. Not a little, not some unconfirmed yada, but NOTHING. Now I'm a little scared since most people will believe what the news spouts and they will SPURT this.

I pray Rummy, Bush, Cheney, Rice, Blair, Ari have a counterattack on this - right away or this will tear apart our efforts to defend ourselves. An we might end up nuked, anyway.

HEY TEDDY!! Expect more of this, you idiot!!!! IRAQ AND THE WAR ON TERROR -ARE- RELATED!!!!

U.S. captures Iraqis in Afghanistan raid

2 al-Qaida soldiers brought to Bagram base for questioning, Russian fighter also held

WASHINGTON – U.S. forces captured two al-Qaida fighters believed to be Iraqi nationals in a recent raid in Afghanistan, U.S. intelligence officials told WorldNetDaily.

The two young men, who identified themselves as Iraqi citizens, were brought to the U.S. air base in Bagram for questioning, the officials said.

A third fighter, who identified himself as a Russian national, also was captured early last week in the raid on an al-Qaida stronghold, the sources said. He's being detained at Bagram, as well.

U.S. interrogators are attempting to confirm the nationalities of the detainees. Al-Qaida operatives in U.S. custody have been traced back to more than 40 countries.

But so far none has come from Iraq or Russia.

The interrogation of the Iraqis will be intense, said one official. The U.S. will want to know if they defected or joined up with al-Qaida under the auspices of the regime in Baghdad.

"Interrogators will be treating this with extra special care," said the official.

The Bush administration has been trying to tie Baghdad closer to al-Qaida as it builds a case for taking out Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the next front in the war on terrorism.

National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday that several al-Qaida detainees have said that Iraq helped train al-Qaida in chemical-weapons development. She also said al-Qaida operatives have found refuge in Baghdad.

A spokesman for the Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations said the Iraqi government has received no information about the detainees captured in Afghanistan.

A State Department official said the incident has not risen to the diplomatic level.

"It was an intelligence operation," said State spokesman Greg Sullivan. "And we don't normally comment on intelligence operations."

A Pentagon spokesman said he could not discuss specifics about any of the detainees.

Phone calls to the Russian Embassy, as well as the White House, were not immediately returned.

I hope people realize that Babs is the one who gave Kennedy his info. IN order for Israel to act in retalliation for a nuclear hit it would have to be hit first. Does it make any sense to sit and wait for anyone to take a nuke hit from Saddam? That is the jest of what Kennedy said. OF course this is the thinking of the UN. They want Israel destroyed.As for debating the issue. Bush has been trying to debate the issue but dems have been avoiding it. I think they used gore as the point man on this issue and now think they can get some miles out of it. I hope you all are letting them know how you feel about this. And yes, I am for going to war over there before anymore acts of war are committed here.
