This is only further proof of the lie we are being told to push the idea that Saddam would not and could not work with the Al Qaeda.

I wouldn't go that far. The 1920s Revolutionary Brigade and al-Qa'ida are natural enemies with vastly different long term goals. Their alliance is one of necessity, to drive us out of Iraq. They'll gladly exterminate each other to the last man after we're gone. In fact, it seems they can't even hold out that long.

So, it's quite a leap of logic to then assume that "See, Saddam was going to give nukes to terrorists, since Ba'athists and terrorists WILL work together sometimes." They have no guarantee that they'd use the weapons on us, and not the Ba'athists instead.

Like at the 2000 Kuala Lumpur summit?

I don’t know where you got this quote form. It didn’t come from me. “See, Saddam was going to give nukes to terrorists, since Ba'athists and terrorists WILL work together sometimes.” You wouldn’t take a lot of liberties with my posts now would you?

However, Saddam could and did work with a lot of different terrorist groups as well as the Al Qaeda when they had the same objectives.

I believe Saddam helped the Al Qaeda in various ways such as training, technical and fanatical assistance. It is a nice way that he could cause trouble and not get his hands dirty. It’s not like they would have 8x10 glossies taken of them shaking hands with smiling faces after contracts being signed.

A lot of what I go by is reports I have read that goes back a decade and the reports I am reading now. At some point, a walking duck is really a walking duck.
