After all, he was allied with us against Iran through Reagans terms in office.

And then he invaded Kuwait and threatened a stranglehold on the Saudi oil fields as well. Or did you forget that little event?

President Saddam Hussein’s regime has said the camp, part of a larger military reservation in a bend of the Tigris River, was used for anti-terrorism training for Iraqi special forces.

Just ask ‘Bagdad Bob’?

I was among the first on this site to champion for it here in 1998.

Alan Keyes won every debate, why didn’t you champion for a winner?

[Son House]

I posted that the reaction of this country should be that of a wounded grizzly

And that’s why the polls against the war are so high, folks like you and me are lumped in with the Sheehans, Reids and Pelosi’s to inflate the dissatisfied numbers.

Bush has saved his legacy by not having mass civilian casualties, may end up with more allies to look on the bright side.

saddam had been in a state of war with the west since his surrender and agreement to UN mandates to disarm (after his failed invasion of Kuwait). The UN passed 17 resolutions... all which he ignored... and he kicked out all of the UN weapons inspectors... and he was harboring known terrorists and aiding terrorists at Salmon Pak. New declassified documents prove that saddam was in contact with al qaeda... had allowed taliban and al qaeda leadership into Baghdad for medical treatment after we invaded Afghanistan... and after 9/11 "pre-emption" was embraced, Bush vowed that we would never sit by and wait to be hit again. EVERY INTEL SERVICE IN THE WORLD had intel that saddam was just waiting until we left and stopped the UN No Fly Zone policy... and then it would be back to ME domination. He also paid terrorist operations to kill Israelis at $25,000 per martyr.

I’ll ping jveritas, a FReeper who has been translating captured documents that prove saddam was aligned with al qaeda long ago. You will probably just ignore him.

Thanks LLS.

KDD Below are captured Iraqi documents that show Saddam very strong relation to terrorism including meeting with Bin Laden, Ayman Al Zawahiri and training for foreign Arab terrorists who became the heart of the terrorist insurgency that has caused untold death and destruction since 2003. Saddam regime was a premier terrorist regime and after 9/11 it should have been removed and thanks to President Bush and our troops who made this possible

I thought we had a strict rule on FR not to hurt the feelings of Kos Kids.

Over the weekend, I was in a pub and met some Indian American folks. A discussion came up about Iraq and it wasn’t two seconds before one of them declared Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism.

Saddam Hussein would be so proud. Let me tell you something about the Third World. You can be born here but the Third World mentality follows you it would appear. At the end one guy was coming back to complain about Pakistan’s relationship with the US.

They complained the US was too close to Pakistan. I cited the nuclear agreement on giving technology to India. One guy claimed it was corporate and the other guy said not much had been done.

They seemed to have inherited their hatred of Pakistan from their families. And I found it quite amusing how lucky we are here.

We don’t carry that messed up baggage here. Unless of course you are a Kos Kid. Then you buy into the whole peace, land and bread spiel in all its forms and guises.

LOL. Good find

Well,I think the British media were. The soldiers were too busy doing their job.
