Thanks for finding and posting this incredible link re $oddomite and Ben Laden.

Saddam link to Bin Laden

By Julian Borger in Washington Saturday February 6, 1999 The Guardian

Saddam Hussein's regime has opened talks with Osama bin Laden, bringing closer the threat of a terrorist attack using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, according to US intelligence sources and Iraqi opposition officials.

The key meeting took place in the Afghan mountains near Kandahar in late December. The Iraqi delegation was led by Farouk Hijazi, Baghdad's ambassador in Turkey and one of Saddam's most powerful secret policemen, who is thought to have offered Bin Laden asylum in Iraq.

Isn't it amazing how many who know better act like George W. Bush made up a possible (and I say possible, while thinking it probable) connection between bin Laden and Hussein?

It makes me sick. I am seeing names that currently say the idea is ridiculous, who were saying in 1999 it was likely.

See Vincent Cannistraro, for one.
