"The whole world knew that Saddam had used chemical weapons at least twice: once against the Iranians and once against the Kurds within Iraq. (He had also threatened to use them against Israel.) The whole world further knew that Saddam engaged in a protracted game of cat and mouse with UN weapons inspectors, first throwing roadblocks in their path and finally expelling them from the country (a violation of the cease-fire agreement that followed the 1991 Gulf War, which required Iraq to account for its weapons and prove that they had been dismantled and destroyed)."

I'm sure the democraps knew this a while ago. But don't ever expect them to admit it, because that would only show just how full of steaming hot BS they have always been on this issue.

The GW Lied group will try their doggondest to try to suppress these documents as they continue to come out. There are millions of documents and 10's of thousands of boxes of them and only a small percent of 1% of them have even been translated. We have like 20 documents out now?

they will say "These documents would not be able to be used in a court of law. They do not meet our standards for evidence. There is no proof here. But we liked Farenheit 9/11".

I would certainly like to see Ellis Hennigan eat his words in a column the other day stating the documents have shown nothing new. He based his revelation on 9 documents, he's laughable.

Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents:

At the request of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the US Army Foreign Military Studies Office has created this portal to provide the general public with access to unclassified documents and media captured during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The US Government has made no determination regarding the authenticity of the documents, validity or factual accuracy of the information contained therein, or the quality of any translations, when available.

When the US Government is willing to stand behind these documents, then maybe I'll give them due consideration.

These come from the same administration that was disseminating to the unsuspecting US public, propaganda thinly disguised as video news releases to garner public support for the Medicare prescription drug benefits, paying journalists to write favorable columns and paying the Iraqi news organizations to publish favorable coverage of the war.

Sounds like a contradiction to me? If you don't trust this administration for the reasons you've stated, how would a decision by this administration to stand behind the documents, lend more credibility to and influence your favorable consideration of them?

Fantastic article. You know this has punctured a vein when the left is spinning madly already claiming that "there is a disclaimer on the bottom so they are fakes!" This shows the juvenile lengths they will go to defend their ludicrous position. I have always maintained that Saddam just spirited his weapons away when we were building up for invasion. It's ridiculous to conclude that the WHOLE WORLD had wrong intelligence about his weapons programs, and his ties to terrorism, but somehow President BUSH is the one who made it all up YEARS before he was even if office. Like my little boy would say, "DUH!"

It was conventional wisdom in the 90s (read: The Glory Years per MSM) that Saddam was a threat to the United States and our allies abroad, and that he maintained not only terrorist ties, but had a working relationship with bin Laden! It was in glaring headlines affirming Clinton's order to fire missiles into Iraq because Saddam was a madman with nasty weapons who was a sincere threat. To us, the United States and our interests. All you have to do is Google Saddam, Iraq, and Clinton and see for yourself. There is a treasure trove of info on this.

I am so sick and tired of the intentional amnesia of the media and their ilk and the sheeple who don't have enough sense to check the facts for themselves and believe that a sitting president of the United States of America would cook up a tall tail of WMD and terrorist ties to--what--capture oil in the Middle East, to benefit his "oil cronies" so they can...take over the oil industry (mwaaahahahahahaha)and sacrifice our brave men and women in the process. How stupid is this thinking? It's like really bad fiction writing. My 9-year-old could do better.

Whatever. **rolls eyes**. I think it's highly interesting that the documents speak of a bin Laden Saddam alliance to attack The West's interests and just a bit later the Khobar Towers were attacked. Oh BIG coincidence there.

Now that ABC has come out and printed the Iraqi/OBL meeting in 1996, they have moved the goalpost yet again. "Yes, we KNOW that they had a relationship, but that was waaaay back in 1996. It doesn't mean anything now." Again, whatever. Strange that there was a huge billboard of Saddam with the burning Twin Towers behind him that our troops discovered back in 2003. I'm sure that means nothing. Surely it does.

If you say it three times and click your pretty little red-shoed heels together, it will come true! /sarc and rant off.

Yep, no connection at all. That Bush is such a liar. I think he may even BE Osama bin Laden. Has anybody ever seen the two of them together, hmmmm? How about Karl Rove? /raving moonbat in highgear off.
