U.S. forces operating in the so-called Sunni Triangle -- the region of Iraq most loyal to captured former dictator Saddam Hussein -- found a significant weapons cache that included al Qaeda literature and videotapes, the U.S. military said Tuesday.

If this is verified beyond all reasonable doubt, the critics of this war (both Left and Right) need to admit their mistake.

I won't hold my breath, however.

I agree. The antiwar candidates will never admit they were wrong, only that the Republicans planted the info. Their hate for W is incredible. Even worse than mine was for Clinton !!

This can't be, the Ba'athist and AQ are ideological enemies. These must be plants by the same neocon Kurds that drugged Saddam and left him in a hole for our boys to find.

Iraqi Officers: Al Qaida Operatives Were Trained Near Baghdad (911 Training/Rehearsals)


Saddam's contacts with Al Qaida, the officers told interrogators, preceded the group's Sept. 11, 2001 strikes on New York and Washington. They said Saudi envoys arranged for Al Qaida insurgents to enter Iraq and begin training in camps around Baghdad.


The Al Qaida insurgents were trained at two camps — Nahrawan and Salman Pak — under the supervision of the Fedayeen Saddam.

The original data presented by Sec. Powell to the UN linking the Iraq regime with al Qaeda has never been refuted. It has only been confirmed and deepened with every new find. The American people have understood this all along. It's the American-hating elites that have trouble understanding the obvious.
