SADDAM IN 'TERROR TAPE' (British tape)
sky news ^ | 2/5/04

Posted on 02/05/2004 5:35:38 PM PST by knak

New footage has been released purporting to show Saddam Hussein paying large sums of money to a terrorist group.

Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Nicholson says the footage is "incontrovertible proof" of the former Iraqi dictator's links to international terrorism.

It appears to show the former Iraqi President plotting crimes and paying money to members of an international terrorist group.

Baroness Nicholson says the group of men in the footage looked after Saddam's chemical and biological warfare.

The footage given to Sky News was reportedly looted from one of Saddam's palaces.

There has been no independent confirmation of the tapes and Sky News cannot verify their veracity.

However, Baroness Nicholson says there is no doubt the footage highlights Saddam's links to terrorism and chemical weapons.

"This is incontrovertible proof of Saddam Hussein's involvement in international terrorism," she said.

There's no way the White House didn't know this tape existed a few days ago.

GWB really is one heck of a poker player.

A member of the Liberal Democrat party (around 20% of the vote these days, I think) who was elevated to the Lords.

I am not sure how much this, if true, will help. We already know Saddam was paying families of suicide bombers and the Dems are unfazed. This terrorist group he is pictured with is connected with Osama then it will help. If not it, I'm afaid it will fizzle.

Is'nt she the one who claimed to have proof from some marsh dwelling (or something really strange) people in Iraq that Saddam had WMD's?

If this tape is proved genuine, The Dems #1 Campaign issue has just been totally completely and utterly destroyed.

Guess we now know why Dubya picked this Sunday to appear on Meet the Press and face questions about Iraq and why we went to war.

Could it be that once again the Dimbos have misunderestimated Dubya's strategery.

The coalition has found plenty of evidence and proof of WMD's... they just haven't found 'large stockpiles' of actual weapons... except for something minor like ricin

Lib Dems are a political party - Britain's 3rd major party, a "peer" is what they call a member of the House of Lords, and Baroness is her formal title. Here's her bio from the Lib Dems: http://www.libdems.org.uk/index.cfm/page.whois/section.people/wid.166/wgroup.peer
