Anyone notice something about this report besides me?
Our intelligence agencies and the Senate told us that the Al Qaeda and Baath party would never work together because of one being religious and the other secular.
I’ve been reading reports of those two groups working together ever since the invasion in 2003 and yet, as late as a month ago, people was still making that claim that they will never work together. 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.
Indeed that has been one of the biggest lies or falsehoods spread by Big Media. Even the 9/11 commission reported "extensive contacts" between Hussein and A-Q. One doesn't have to go too far into past history to find cases of supposed enemies working together to fight a mutual enemy. Of course Hussein didn't want A-Q to run his own country. But he allowed Zarqawi in to harass the Kurds and set up his own A-Q base. If Hussein hated A-Q, why in the world would he let them in his country? The obvious answer is that he wanted to work withn A-Q against the U.S. It's like the lie that Hussein NEVER!! had wmds. Many people believe that lie too. Naturally Big Media wants to deny all of that.
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.
