Why do you leave out all the relevent facts?
Saddam support multiple terrorist organizations, in Iran, Algeria, Palestinians, Abu Nidal, etc.
Saddam’s IIS did help Al Qaeda and offered Bin laden safe haven in Iraq in 1998. Saddam had nuclear amditions albeit dormant program.

I don’t want to argue this, it’s off-topic, but this pleading that Saddam was disconnected from terrorism is exactly the “clueless or disingenuous” stuff I am talking about. Even if you or others have been buffaloed by the leftwing whitewash on this.

I guess that explains why Bush won’t claim a Saddam- al Qaeda connection. It must be all the leftwing brainwashing.

Considering that Abu Nidal was killed by Saddam in 2002, I'm not sure how he helps your case. Moreover Nidal was a secular leftist, not an Islamic crazy. And Saddam aiding terrorism against the Islamic revolutionary gov't of Iran isn't helping your cause either. You aren't going to find much sympathy for the Ayatollahs.

What will we find when we examine your Palestinian and Algerian groups? Islamic terrorists of the al Qaeda variety? Or more secular Arab terrorists of the sort the world was full of in the 80s?
