A newly released document from Iraq demonstrates a relationship between former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and terrorist groups – including the Islamic-based Taliban, which harbored al-Qaida in Afghanistan. The document, posted by the Pentagon's Foreign Military Studies Office, indicates that in 1999 the Taliban invited Iraqi officials to Afghanistan, Fox News reports. While some intelligence analysts have insisted Saddam's secular regime would not have collaborated with radical Muslim groups, the document says "Islamic relations with Iraq" were encouraged by the Taliban to arbitrate a meeting with the Northern Alliance rebels in Afghanistan and Russia. The document also mentions two men...

What was the relationship between Saddam Hussein's inner circle and Islamic terrorists?

My subject title doesn't make sense, does it? How coud the U.N. be disarming Iraq from WMD while allowing them WMD at the same time. Is there a 4th dimension of space that I am not aware of? Chemicals allowed for export to Iraq by other countries: - Sodium Cyanide - Hydrogen Cyanide - Phosgene Well golly, gee-whiz... those chemicals are WMD with a world history of being used as chemical weapons. The U.N. is a complete joke! They are looking for chemical weapons while allowing Saddam to purchase chemical weapons! Yeah, that's the ticket! Makes good sense to me!...

Baghdad, 23 May (AKI) - The number two of the al-Qaeda network, Ayman al-Zawahiri, visited Iraq under a false name in September 1999 to take part in the ninth Popular Islamic Congress, former Iraqi premier Iyad Allawi has revealed to pan-Arab daily al-Hayat.

The American news media does not see its TREASON and its TERRORISM when it is attacking America, President Bush, morals, values, undermining families, attacking Republicans, lying to the American people, or just promoting propaganda. America and the public are their enemy. It must be noted that this entire expose is based on a WELL-DOCUMENTED, VERIFIABLE PLAN by the Democratic Party, to work with the media to DESTROY AMERICA so...
