Democrats tell us that Al-Qaida and other terrorsists were everywhere in the world EXCEPT Iraq because Sadaam was a secular ruler. How can this be?

We've heard Dems argue that the TANG files were fake, but accurate, perhaps these are...

True, but inaccurate????

I hate to be a party pooper, but nothing in that document indicates that AQ was in Iraq at the request of or with the consent of the Iraqi government of that they were acting in concert or conspiring to act in concert. Indeed, AQ is currently active in our Country, but that doesn't make us allies.

Thanks, that was fast. I have a feeling that this thing is going to snowball quickly.

I'm trying to catch up now and it's just been a few days. Is there a ringleader, ping list, clearinghouse thread?

"No, they told us that Al Qaeda was against Saddam because he was a secular ruler, therefore Saddam couldn't have been working with Al Qaeda against the US."

Which of course is false. After the first Gulf War Saddam made a concerted effort to build up his Islamic bonifides. As I recall, he made a big deal about having a Koran written up with the Arabic script in his blood and he also added the word Allah to flag of Iraq. He saw the power of religion fervor and wanted to harness that for his own goals. Saddam himself may not have been an Islamist but he had no problems manipulating religion for his own purposes and toward that end started to cultivate religious fundamentalism among Sunni groups after the first Gulf War. Saddam was an opportunist. On the other hand, the claim that Islamists of any flavor are oppossed to cooperating with secular or non-Islamic governments clearly false.

The GOP and the GWB WH have done a terrible job of setting this factual premise - Along with a lousy job of calling those on the left and in the MSM flat out wrong when they try and deny Saddam was a State sponsor or terrorism and a supporter of al Qeade.

Furthermore not aggressively defending the truth that al Qeade associates were certainly in Iraq and operating there prior to OIF. Some of our initial Ops of OIF were dealing with this reality.

I disagree. I'm one of the GNFI/Procoalition ping list holders here at FR. They release so much information, I can't keep up with posting it.

Look to the MSM for not carrying their releases.

Too bad the RINO's won't allow the "white flag" ad to be run again on TV

Pass this "white flag" ad from Dec 2005 around on the internet, it's from gop.com

http://www.gop.com/Media/120905.wmv

At least gop.com has not been taken over by the RINO's!

"What does the Arabic say at the bottom of the picture?"

Calp...my Arabic is a bit rusty but I'm pretty sure it says "Jihadist available and wants to meet like-minded islamic-fascist woman for long term relationship focusing on death to infidels. I only have one leg, so I won't run out on you...please call xxx-xx-0000"

Clinton's reputation for good PR comes from the fact that the entire NY, DC, Hollywood, and Academia shilled for him.

You are dead-on right.

I hear you here - But the reality of the matter is the GOP and WH know where the MSM job is at (and that is supporting DEM's) therefore that excuse just doesn't hold water.

We are asking our soldiers to fight 24/7 in some of the worst conditions imaginable.....the least the WH and GOP could do here at home is fight just as hard 24/7 to ensure the truth of their mission gets out.

"The MSM won't do it for us" just doesn't cut it. We don't allow those type excuses out of our warriors in the field....and I expect more then excuses out of my CIC along with those in the GOP Congress.

The reality is the WH nor the GOP have been effective, nor aggressive enough at keeping the truth out there for the American public.

Releasing information that never makes its way to the general public isn't good enough after 3 years of seeing it isn't an effective mechanism for getting your message out.

They have created other outlets to get their info out. That includes their own broadcasts, websites and prompted up news casters.

Sorry, if their weren't other outlets, we wouldn't know any of this information.
