Al Qaeda link to attacks in Iraq -(un-named) "UK source"

[Nambe]

LONDON, Aug. 1 - Reuters

--- The source said that while the attacks were largely the work of Iraqis loyal to deposed dictator Saddam Hussein ''there is some evidence that they've been joined by groups that are loosely connected with the al Qaeda network.''

The source, who asked not to be named, did not specify the evidence, but said there were undoubtably ''some foreign elements'' targeting U.S. and allied troops in Iraq. He said there was nothing to show that Saddam, who is thought to be in hiding, or his two sons, killed by American troops last week, had been directly organising the attacks.

Thanks again, Chimp!

2. Yeah wasn't that one of the reasons NOT to invade?

Why Yes it was.

Ten to twenty years from now is where the real dangers from Iraq lie. Let them have a democratic election? Now? We might as well just replace Bremmer with a fundamentalist Islamic American hating leader right now and cut to the chase.

3. "Loosely connected"

After three or four qualifiers, plus maintaining the source's anonymity, how can anyone take this little game seriously? They keep throwing around the term "terror," yet nothing is ever definite.

4. loosely connected

[Wonder]

5. I thought the link was to Iran or was it

saudi arabia No. WAIT. The BUCK $TOP$ at Carlyle...

perhaps it is Pakistan in cahoots with NK proliferating arms to the ME with assistance from Russia according to German intelligence based on Mossad and operatives from the Duvaden who has infiltrated the Ba'ath, after they gutted a baby and threw it out with the bath water to put out the flames blazing from that explosion in the gas line, as Wolfowitz says oooh what a boo boo this is, and Richard Perle has another secret lunch with the chairman, but only in his effort to libel Hersh as a terrorist who threatens THE ENTIRE WORLD.

I know! Let's call ANDY HARDY and write a screen play than leak it to the washington post and blame it on elsberg!

I wonder what Gen Maxwell Taylor has to say about all of this after he gets through his lunch with Kissinger who marbles parables about the attack on Pearl Harbor?
