LOL!!!

[bvw]

I would like to see Byrd dressed up in some trumpy penny opera Gilbert and Sullivan gee-gaw poobah outfit with plumed napoleanic hat with his head to small to fit it and drool coming down his mouth spouting bits of nonsense and puffery spun out of a grifter's dotage.

I don't want to toss a downer on anyone, but that's somewhat flawed logic. At one time there were at least 19 Al Qaida terrorists in the US, but I don't know of anyone with any credibility who has claimed a link between the Bush administration and organized terror.

Not that I trust Saddam...

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL ! Will this do? . . .

Byrd said in part, "I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, `Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white ni**ers. I've seen a lot of white ni**ers in my time. I'm going to use that word."

See this Michelle Malkin article about Robert Byrd from March 7, 2001

Former KKK Clansman,
Senator Robert Byrd……

[Klein-Bottle]

The obvious question is whom was he meeting with, because they are probably gone also.

[4Freedom]

But this terrorist was in the same room with Irag's military leadership when they were all turned to ash.

He would have had to have been invited, no? Therefore, a connection.

[jackbill]

"while confronting the treacherous U.S. air bombardment on Iraq."

My mother always told me "Never confront a Tomahawk with nothing but a towel on your head."

[RummyChick]

Do you think Saddam would have been meeting with him? It seems it would have been underlings.

[ExpandNATO]

Now add one more fact...

If those 19 Al Qaeda terrorists (or their leader) were in the same limousine/SUV with Bush (or other top administration officials, generals), what then?

[agrace]

Very cool.

[Shaka]

Dasshole is such a dik.

[Darksheare]

Umm... Haven't you been paying attention?
Saddam gives several thousand dollars to families of the so called palestinians who have a relative murder Israelis.

Saddam has had meetings and dealings with Taliban leaders and Al-Qeada.
He also has stated that he wants Al-Qeada suicide brigades.
Why don't you look around this nice little site called FreeRepublic? It's called site navigation, you know, those little blue links to the right hand side of the screen?
You can also search keywords, like Iraq, Saddam. Terrorism. Terrorist. and such.

[Dimensio]

I'm not disputing that Saddam has links to terror. I should have phrased my statement better, I was merely commenting that a known terrorist being killed in Iraq is not proof of Saddam's terror links. There is quite a bit of evidence that Saddam supports terrorist groups and actions -- his own words are only part of that collection -- but the PLF member being killed in Iraq is not amongst that evidence.

[El Gato]

I hope to one day see Daschle sleeping under a bridge and advertising that he will work for food.

In South Dakota in the winter, of course. I'd prefer North Dakota, but I doubt they would allow him in.

[Dimensio]

That'll teach me not to read the articles properly.

Mind you, there are other possible explanations (not the least of which is that the PLF is lying, since I'm not sure how much credibility that they have).

Mind you, I'm not amongst the "Saddam doesn't support terrorists" crowd. Certainly not when Saddam has openly offered money to the families of suicied bombers.

[weegee]

So far we have learned through the day's attacks that Saddam has fired Scud missles that he didn't have (the inspectors could not find them) and that he was associating with known terrorists even though there has been no connection between Iraq and terrorism established.

[El Gato]

no, but you can be sure the french will cook and eat it.

Well, they may cook it. :)
