The number of links was extensive....and they are now well known.
The Republicans in the Senate are idiots to let the dems control this kind of report.
Dear Diary,
How do I act like a member of the majority party? Is it really necessary for me to grow a spine?
Republican Senator
You said it all.
Why does this happen? The 800 FBI Files?
The same thing happened with the B.S.-9/11 "Bi-Partisan" Report
Anytime you hear the Hezbocrats saying "bi-paritsan support", it means it's a whitewash and sellout to FBI Files extortion or some sort of arm-twisting. If it weren't for Senators like Jeff Sessions and a couple others, the plain facts would never see the light of day.....
Move along, nothing new here. The 'Pubbies have been letting "Dingy Harry" Reid drive the ship all along. They need to grow a set of nads and put Reid and his ilk in their place. It shouldn't be that difficult, given the level of intelligence they are dealing with from the left.....
Intelligence isn't about confirming a negative. It's about proving what you can with corroboratable evidence. There's no way we could factually prove that there was no link between anyone. All you can do is show what is visible, and evaluate how strong the information is that shows it.
The number of links was extensive....and they are now well known. The Republicans in the Senate are idiots to let the dems control this kind of report.
The reason you're not going to see Republicans, any Republicans, take up this banner and run with it is because the links are low to mid level, at best, and not particularly damning.
Links between Saddam and UBL/AQ senior leadership would be significant. Links between mid-to-low level AQ guys and mid-to-low level intelligence officers is as common as sand in the Middle East. Tyrants like to know what's going on in their domain, and don't really care who their agents associate with to find out. (Unlike our CIA, who is severely restricted in talking to unsavory individuals). Terrorists aren't above having contacts in local governments either. It helps cut down on 'misunderstandings'.
Biased and pointless as this report may be, the Republicans don't have the ammo to challenge the basic claim, and they're not going to try. I'm sorry to be the bearer of unwelcome news, but that's how it is. It doesn't make Saddam or UBL any less deserving of swift and lethal justice.
Not the Repbulicans. Two RINO Senate Taitors too arrogant to admit they have been wrong on Iraq since the word go.
