As I understand, Baghdad regime could be supportive of secular left wing radical/terrorist organisations like some factions of Palestinian movement or in Lebanon. But Saudi/Wahhabi terrorists like those in Chechnya or around Bin Laden are rather hostile to Saddam Hussein. (US went to Kuweit to protect Kuweitis and Saudis from secular BAATHists). Same with Shiite radicals like Hezbollah - they are Iran related. (Iraq and Iran waged long and bloody war).
You see, there are very different parties in the Middle East and you cannot throw them all in one bag. Same as you cannot put European conservatives, social-democrats, communists and fascists into one category.
Interestingly enough in the last war in Yugoslavia - Saudies were supportive (together with most of NATO) toward KLA. Iran had/has its Shiite clients in Bosnia while socialist Baghdad gave support to socialist Belgrade.
only folks with an agenda deny the connection.
You choose the idiocy of this last papal blunder over the reality of worldwide islamic terrorism. You have that right. I honor that... but think you would be better off to go jump in the lake... because you are wrong.
and byron:
I HAVE never had any credibilty here.. so losing what I do not have, is rather painless. You think much like pole... and that is just fine. ALL islamofascists are in bed together whether you choose to play the ostrich or the eagle... and the pope has kissed up to the evil doers of islam WAY too much for MY Personal taste.... I do not take your ranting personally. Glad you care enough to argue...
BUT YOU ARE DEAD WRONG.. and will deny it, EVEN AFTER we have proof of the money transfers to the 9-11 perpetrators from Sadaams regime.
When it comes out that money and technology were used from IRAQ AND IRAN to bomb our buildings... YOU will say it is manufactured evidence... you probably believe the jews and the cia did 9-11, just to start this war with Islam, or some such drivel as well... you are wrong if you think that as well.
I am sorry you both seem to depricate the value of Jewish victims of terrorists paid by sadaam, osami and iran... and wahhibis out of sa are part and parcel of that same gigantic BAG of islamofascism. THat you cannot see that, I do not understand... maybe its' those rose-coloured glasses of yours.
and don't take it personally... because I don't. I really BELIEVE that you are seriously deluded ON THIS MATTER... just as you do me...
