This can't be true. Saddam was "SECULAR" and bin Laden was "RELIGIOUS". A "SECULAR" person like Saddam would NEVER seek help from a "RELIGIOUS" person like bin Laden.

The laws of physics prohibit it.

/sarcasm

But seriously - I really do wish more people would understand this point. Yes I understand that the new lefty talking-point will just be "but bin Laden turned him down". But even the request demolishes their earlier talking-point, which was that we needn't ever worry about cooperation at all because Saddam wouldn't want to due to bin Laden being so supposedly Religious. Clearly, Saddam wanted to cooperate!

Anyone who ever sincerely wrote or said anything remotely resembling the secular/religious theory is thereby proven to be an idiot.

Did Hell just freeze over last night in the publisher's office of the NY Slimes?

Superb!

I wait for the day that some advertiser sues newspapers like the NY Slime/LA Slimes, Washington Compost, Chicago Tribune and other left wing canary cage liners for fraud.

The advertiser bought ads because they assumed the NY Slime/LA Slimes, Washington Compost, Chicago Tribune and other left wing canary cage liners were newspapers not PR agents for the DNC.

When crap like No link between al Qaeda and Iraq are published as front page news, that is fraud. It is not news. It is a lie for the DNC.

Class action suits by subscribers to these bird cage liners for fraud, ie, pretending to be newspapers instead of the reality, serving as PR agents for the DNC, will bring a quick stop to this BS.

Yep, and like I have pointed out to them in the past, Saddam was perfectly willing to deal with the religious fanatics in Iran when he thought he could save his air force. That alone made mince meat of the "secular/religious theory"...

What a great letter! You should be proud!...I have been wondering if somehow these large newspapers couldn't actually be sued for 'malpractice'.... ie if a class action lawsuit could be taken against them for distorting the news, and selectively editing the news.

Thank you both! I've added it to my list of links.

Now if we could get the administration to discuss this more often...I'm writing Karl Rove again. LOL

Good luck with Rove. :-) I believe that the White House could drop a bombshell on Kerry's chances if it would only come out with what is known about the Saddam/al-Qaeda links, and the WMD program. All in good time, I hope.

Yossef Bodansky's new book, THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE IRAQ WAR, suggests a reason for the White House's reluctance to come forward with solid evidence of both Saddam's ties to al-Qaeda, and WMDs -- the best evidence of a smoking gun have been uncovered by Israeli intelligence. The White House has been reluctant to come foward with the best evidence to shut-up the naysayers because that information comes to us via the Israelis. This has been the case since before the Iraq war began. If it was known how deeply US decision-making relied upon Israeli intelligence, it would likely cause the Arab world to go ballistic, proving what they've always charged -- a "Zionist-American conspiracy" in the Middle East.

I didn't know all that about Israeli intel; I do hope it means we aren't going to use the evidence but find a way to independently collaborate.
