Pre-War Connections Between Saddam and Al-Qaeda That bush Never Said...

[leftchick]

and condi never said either....

“here clearly are contacts between Al Qaeda and Iraq . . . there clearly is testimony that some of the contacts have been important contacts and that there’s a relationship here.” (National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, PBS “NewsHour with Jim Lehrer,” 25 September 2002)


“Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications, and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of Al Qaeda. Secretly, and without fingerprints, he could provide one of his hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their own. Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained. But chemical agents, lethal viruses and shadowy terrorist networks are not easily contained. Imagine those 19 hijackers with other weapons and other plans—this time armed by Saddam Hussein. It would take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known.” (President Bush, State of the Union, 28 January 2003)


“Saddam Hussein has longstanding, direct and continuing ties to terrorist networks. Senior members of Iraqi intelligence and Al Qaeda have met at least eight times since the early 1990s. Iraq has sent bomb-making and document forgery experts to work with al Qaeda. Iraq has also provided Al Qaeda with chemical and biological weapons training. And an Al Qaeda operative was sent to Iraq several times in the late 1990s for help in acquiring poisons and gases. We also know that Iraq is harboring a terrorist network headed by a senior Al Qaeda terrorist planner. This network runs a poison and explosive training camp in northeast Iraq, and many of its leaders are known to be in Baghdad.” (President Bush, Radio Address, 8 February 2003) (Read More)

1. Yes, NOW bring in that Tin Horn Former Iraqi General who is making

the rounds on all the Right Wing News Outlets.

Too funny! Bugga bugga bugga boo! What's truly FRIGHTENING is that the Faux News junkies continue to believe these lies. Nothing that you and I can say, no facts will alter their delusions nor love for their Dear Leader. BushBots are up to 30% of our population. Yikes!

Well, that makes it all different. We had a right to breech International Law, Invade and continue to Occupy a foreign country.

Yes, us "good guys" can do any damn thing we want ... See! It was worth it, can't ya tell now?

Hint: Saddam hated his neighbors - the thought of weapons going to Syria or Iran is absurd. :P
