One by one, slowly but surely, the Al-Qaeda/Iraq connection is making it's way UP the chain of command in the Bush admin.

Good Lord...to think...if they're going to release evidence of this (and she wouldn't be saying it if she couldn't produce it)...well, just think how this plays vis-a-vis Gore's inanity and Daschle's tizzy fit.

Coup-de-grace (and you must wonder if they've hung onto something this devastating just for a moment like this).

Saddam harboring terrorists...say it isn't so! Oh wait, there are some lib/dems who would say that, aren't there? But then, they aren't really serious about this whole thing, have forgotten 9/11, and really don't take this President at his word.

Ok so now we have our National Security Advisor saying that there is indeed a link between Saddam and Al Qaeda.

The question becomes: how long will it take before all the know-it-all leftist (computer programmers/grad students/unemployed) self-proclaimed intelligence experts on the web each start posting their huge opuses designed to prove that, according to their research and expertise, the National Security Advisor is wrong in her information. Or lying about it for some reason.

It really oughta be entertaining. It's going to take quite some creativity, after all, for the knee-jerk antiwar leftists to explain why their intelligence information is superior to that of the NSA....

Here's your Iraqi link to terrorism.

See if Condi Rice's information conforms to the "classified info" you have access to.

Condoleezza Rice's comments -- by far the strongest statements yet from the U.S. government alleging al-Qaida contacts with the Iraqi government -- were aired Thursday on PBS' "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.''

This is not aired until tomorrow?

President Bush's national security adviser on Wednesday accused Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's regime of sheltering members of the al-Qaida terrorist network in Baghdad and helping Osama bin Laden's operatives in developing chemical weapons.

Received form letter cop-out from Bingaman after numerous faxes to Domenici and him.

Sees no sign Saddam would use WMD on U.S. Worried that unilateral action would dilute focus. Afraid invasion would stretch military too thin.

Yo, Bingaman (who gave Charlie Trie a seat on his Beijing Commission), trust me: Saddam would.

"Dilute focus"? What are you focusing on--your navel?

"stretch military too thin"? Vote for the defense bill, dumbass.

No patient with Demodorks.

Send a SEAL team to find Daschle's privates. If any, place them next to his tonsils.

We aren't waiting for a NBC hit on a major city--let's roll.

Looks like Zeev Schiff's gonna get credit for this. Along with the IDF officers who traveled to Washington this past week, undoubtedly supplying the Pentagon with additional information about how Saddam helped Osama Bin Laden. You don't really need any additional evidence to demonstrate Saddam's an enemy of America. Would that Algore and Tommy Daschund could drop their anti-America blinders and see it too, cause its right in front of their faces.

"Previously, the widely held view has been that while Saddam and bin Laden both oppose the United States, their motivations are too different for them to work together.,,"

I was just reading a history of WWII, and it said that the US and the Soviet Union worked together against Hitler. Now, this couldn't possibly be true. After all, the Soviets were communists and atheists, while the US was capitalistic and full of religious types---virtual opposites!

Dick Cheney on MTP, 9/8/02:
Mr. RUSSERT: One year ago when you were on MEET THE PRESS just five days after September 11, I asked you a specific question about Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Let’s watch:

(Videotape, September 16, 2001):

Mr. RUSSERT: Do we have any evidence linking Saddam Hussein or Iraqis to this operation?

VICE PRES. CHENEY: No.

(End videotape)

Mr. RUSSERT: Has anything changed, in your mind?

VICE PRES. CHENEY: Well, I want to be very careful about how I say this. I’m not here today to make a specific allegation that Iraq was somehow responsible for 9/11. I can’t say that. On the other hand, since we did that interview, new information has come to light. And we spent time looking at that relationship between Iraq, on the one hand, and the al-Qaeda organization on the other. And there has been reporting that suggests that there have been a number of contacts over the years. We’ve seen in connection with the hijackers, of course, Mohamed Atta, who was the lead hijacker, did apparently travel to Prague on a number of occasions. And on at least one occasion, we have reporting that places him in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence official a few months before the attack on the World Trade Center. The debates about, you know, was he there or wasn’t he there, again, it’s the intelligence business.

Mr. RUSSERT: What does the CIA say about that and the president?

VICE PRES. CHENEY: It’s credible. But, you know, I think a way to put it would be it’s unconfirmed at this point. We’ve got...

Iraq has the weapons, but can't deliver them w/o a massive counterattack. The Muslim terrorist have shown they can deliver, and survive the counterattack.

It is frightening how easily the image of a few thousand Muslim terrorists opening vials of a biological agent all over the US in a coordinated attack comes to mind.

Looking for some more of your expert analyst invective and spittle here.

Lemme quote from something you said:

In the case of Iraq, which we have been bombing non-stop ever since Clinton wagged the dog on the eve of his impeachment vote, it is not about fighting terrorism as Iraq has never been positively linked to any terrorist attacks against the US. As COL David Hackworth points out in his WND.com column, there really is no convincing rationale for invading Iraq.

How about this:

While it is true that Sadaam possess biological and chemical weapons, he has not used these weapons against us. Invading and ousting a sitting government just because "we think" they might attack us is a shaky and ambigious doctrine for which to place the safety of our nation and way of life.

I can think of about 3000 victims of the last attack who would disagree with you.

I have felt all along that Bush has laid a trap for the Dems by delaying the release of intelligence information he must have that is related to Iraqi-Al Qaeda connections as well as solid, irrefutable evidence of Iraqi WMD development. It is certain that they have this information and the Condi Rice disclosure today is very likely just the tip of the iceberg.

The trap is to let the Dashholes and Gores of the world question his Iraq initiative, get firmly on the record as opposing the war and then hit them and their weak-kneed Democratic candidates with the evidence conveniently close to the election.

Is this politicizing the war? Yes it is and there is nothing wrong with it. If the Dems want to play to their 60's hippy clientele then they can pay for it in the election which is now only a few weeks away.

They are in a trap and they know it. That is the reason for the Dashhole flare up today. They are desperate to get Bush’s War on Terrorism/Iraqi war poll numbers down. The loss of the Senate and a bigger Republican majority in the house is coming at them like a freight train if they can’t turn this around and they are frightened to death at the prospect.

Brilliant Bush politics in my opinion.

U.S. intelligence has detected what appears to be an al Qaeda training camp in a remote region of eastern Iran along the border with Afghanistan, NBC News reported on September 25, 2002, citing unidentified sources. The network said it was told by its sources that overhead imagery of the site shows a suspected terrorist camp that includes a driving course and rifle range very much like al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan that were used to train for assassinations.
