If this is true, it directly contradicts all the blather pouring out of the anti-war crowd, who continue to insist that there could not be any ties between Osama bin Ladin and Saddam Hussein. After all, bin Ladin is a DEVOUT Muslim, and Saddam is only going to mosque for show, he is much too irreverent to be able to communicate with the most conscientious of believers. Couldn't possibly be working together.

Some additional bits of info on Iraq-Al Qaeda ties the left either doesn't know, doesn't want to know, or is deliberately trying to smear from my post #2064 (This is by no means all of what is available out there)

Agree. This has always been a nonsensical argument. The United States allied itself with the Soviet Union to defeat Hitler. Throughout history, alliances among nations and political groups have shifted depending upon the objective. If they share a common objective, the conflicting ideologies of the groups usually don't matter.

There is strong evidence to the effect that Hussein's intelligence service has been involved directly or indirectly with the attacks against American interests during the last 12 years.

After the first Gulf War Hussein became a "born again Islamicist" and began to cooperate formally with other terror networks.

One thing that puzzles me is the line about how we will risk bringing terror upon ourselves if we attack Iraq/Saddam. Now how can that be if there are no ties between Saddam and terrorists?

Um........either the terrorists are all holding hands or they aren't. As usual, the libs want it both ways.
