CRAWFORD, Texas: A high-ranking Al Qaeda operative in custody has disclosed that Iraq supplied the Islamist militant group with material to build chemical and biological weapons, the White House said Friday.

"A senior Al Qaeda terrorist, now detained, who had been responsible for Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan, reports that Al Qaeda was intent on obtaining (weapons of mass destruction) assistance from Iraq," the White House said in a report.

The 25-page document was released as President George W Bush vacationed at his Texas ranch.

The Bush administration cited links between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's Baath party regime as justification for attacking Iraq to oust Saddam. The administration also insisted Saddam had chemical and biological weapons and was pursuing nuclear weapons. (snip/...)

1. Would this be the same high ranking al Queada operative...

...that told us Godzilla and suicide scuba men were going to invade our shores? Or maybe it was the one that tipped us off that those wily terrorists were going to dust us with remote controlled crop dusters full of deadly sarin gas...

3. This must be the big bombshell story the Bush people warned us about

Oh my gosh! the mushroom cloud of Sarin . . . just like Condi said!

Did the Al Qaeda dude explain 1. why he didn't say anything until now and 2. why Al Qaeda didn't use the weapons against Saddam himself?

4. It's an amazing strategy...

As soon as some of your lies start being exposed, pile on even BIGGER lies and keep your juggernaut rolling.

The Bush cabal is nothing if not, "Damn the torpoedoes, full speed ahead!" It's mind-boggling.

My greatest hope is that the tremendous head of steam they've built up will eventually result in a truly spectacular crash and burn. Just one good trip -- surely even THIS group of criminals is ultimately subject to at least Murphy's Law...
