Rice: Zarqawi was in Iraq a long time ago, well before the war

<snip>

But I’d make the following comments without going into the specifics of the document. First of all, do we know that Zarqawi and his group, which by the way, was in Iraq a long time ago, well before the war, decided that they would try and make Iraq a battleground in the war on terror and that they would try to use it as a recruiting tool? Yes, and that they would try to al-Qaidaize or Islamize the Iraq conflict? Yes, we know that.

...

SECRETARY RICE: Yeah, but the counterargument that – they had a strategy to do two things. The first was to make Iraq a battleground in the war on terrorism for their radical ideas and, secondly, to try to sow sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shia. It was there in stuff on his computers that we actually did put out.

So Condi quotes "stuff" found on Zarqawi's computers?

:crazy:

1. Keep digging Kindasleeza.

:evilgrin:

[Jacobin]

2. Its apparently what happens to your brain after a supertanker is

named after you.

Lots of goo and sludge screwing up the neurons.

Or, she could try that excuse for being such a liar, a putz and a criminal.

[sabra]

3. she also is starting to sound more and more like Rummy...

[Jacobin]

7. And that is not a good sign

Although, she is clearly just as inept as he is and just as uninterested in reality.

[grytpype]

4. Well then it was very obliging of Bush to do what Zarqawi wanted.

Zarqawi and bin Laden wanted Bush to invade Iraq, and he very helpfully did so.

Hard to see who that helped, except Zarqawi and bin Laden.

[BootinUp]

5. Shit we didn't need to take Baghdad to get that guy.

He was no where near Baghdad.

[Deep13]

6. **BZZZZZZZT**

No, the response we were looking for was "No connection between Saddam and Al Queda."

How much did you risk? Oooooh! I'm sorry. x(

[kurth]

8. "Stuff" Condi found on Zarqawi's computers:

Email from Delroy Worthley titled "dont miss your chance to get in and build a position while share price is low"
Email from Benita Reeves titled "shame of sex? we can change it"
Email from Angelique titled "Microcap Observer Newsletter"
Email from Onesime Knarr titled "PHgmARoMA"
Email from Cymone Michaelsen titled "PHcuARhgMA"

[bigtree]

9. protected from Saddam up north by the US no-fly zone

[Disturbed]

13. Condi just bought a brand new large

shovel along wtih some boots and gloves.

[Deep13]

18. Old ones must be worn out.

:eyes:

[htuttle]

20. Exactly

It was us who was protecting him (along with the Ansar al Islam group), since we thought we could use him against Saddam. Look back toward the beginning of the war when we basically allowed them to clear out before we bombed where they used to be.

[Jack Rabbit]

11. You're a lousy liar, Condi

But good enough to make me feel sorry for your new boyfriend.

Anyway II rasied this before) . . .

If the fact that Zarqawi was operating in Iraq prior to Septamber 11 makes Saddam Hussein an enemy in the war on terror, then the fact there is a dope pusher in Washington, DC, make G. W. Bush an enemy in the war on drugs.

[Gabi Hayes]

14. don't forget the 911 highjackers harbored within the US

shouldn't we bomb Arizona, Minnesota, Florida, California, and any other states which harbored them?

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Clinton's fault, obviously

:sarcasm:

[Avalux]

12. She claimed a week or so ago that he and Saddam worked together.

It's been proven to be a LIE, but that doesn't matter much to her and her fellow criminals.

[KansDem]

16. What the Hell does this mean?!?!? "we actually did put out"

It was there in stuff on his computers that we actually did put out.

And she has a PhD?

Perhaps I'll reserve judgment until it can be verified that this is not a mistake on the part of the transcriber or noticias.info...

[MrCoffee]

17. Keep making shit up, it's the only thing they're good at.

[Gabi Hayes]

19. and swallowing that swill is the only thing at which the coprophage M$M

is competent

[Supersedeas]

24. all the pretty M$M faces that covered (for) this Admin will go down in

history.

[MidwestTransplant]

21. Yeah he was there IN THE KURDISH AUTONOMOUS REGION

that was protected by the no fly zone. The Bush admin. decided no to take him out when they had the chance before the war started.

[The_Casual_Observer]

22. They don't know how to justify the Iraq war anymore.

Since they killed Zarqawi, the violence is worse than ever, yet they blamed the whole thing on him.

[MrCoffee]

23. Exactly right. What is this, the 5th excuse now?

[seabeyond]

25. he was in part of iraq saddam couldnt go into. bush had three chances

at the man and said no to all three because he thought it might interfer with him getting to do iraq war

zarqawi was in a group on the northern iranian border out of saddams reach

[DemInDistress]

26. you mean condi,"who could have imagined terrorists would hijack

and crash 2 commercial jets into skyscrapers" rice? can't believe a word out of that mouth....
