Maybe now that President Obama’s in charge of the war in Iraq, and there’s no need to lie, distort, or half quote truths to oppose the war (can’t oppose it if it’s run by a Democrat)…maybe now people will realize:
1) the matter was never closed by any investigation
2) there’s hundreds of times more information demonstrating ties than there is dismissing them
BAGHDAD — The government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki said Al Qaida worked closely with former operatives in Saddam Hussein regime.
Officials said leading members of the Al Qaida network have coordinated operations with Saddam aides since 2003. They said Al Qaida and Saddam forces attacked Shi’ites in an effort to spark a civil war in Iraq.
“They agreed that Al Qaida would carry out the suicide attacks, while the Baathists [Saddam's ruling party] would do the remote-control bombs,” Al Maliki said.
The Al Qaida-Saddam link, asserted by then-U.S. President George Bush in 2002, came in wake of the reported capture of a leading Al Qaida commander in Iraq.
At the very least, it’s 100% clear (hindsight is 20-20) that yes, Saddam’s regime and the Al Queda network did have operational ties in 2003, and that means the invasion of Iraq
HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THE WAR ON TERROR.

Of course we knew it all along. But the MSM controls the narrative...
Your right. The MSM will never report this.
Iraq prime minister ties Saddam regime to captured Al Qaida commander ( Thursday, April 30, 2009 )

BAGHDAD — The government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki said Al Qaida worked closely with former operatives in Saddam Hussein regime.
Officials said leading members of the Al Qaida network have coordinated operations with Saddam aides since 2003. They said Al Qaida and Saddam forces attacked Shi'ites in an effort to spark a civil war in Iraq.
"They agreed that Al Qaida would carry out the suicide attacks, while the Baathists [Saddam's ruling party] would do the remote-control bombs," Al Maliki said.
The Al Qaida-Saddam link, asserted by then-U.S. President George Bush in 2002, came in wake of the reported capture of a leading Al Qaida commander in Iraq.
The government has determined that an Iraqi Sunni arrested in April 2009 was Abu Omar Al Baghdadi, identified as the head of the the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella group that contained Al Qaida.
"This terrorist had deep ties with the former regime and created with its followers a devil's pact reflected in bloody scenes of carnage involving innocent children and women and the elderly," Al Maliki said.
Can’t be. Life under Saddam was hunky dory, Sean Penn said so..
We shouldn't let this stuff just pass by this time like we did after WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. This time there are network executives, newspaper publishers, managers, editors, reporters, writers and pressmen who must be rounded up and made to pay the full price for treason.

fyi
Confirming what we already knew.
And the Lefties and their MSM continues to deny!
Thank you very much my FRiend, I just did my little duty. I am glad that we were right and we are finally vindicated, our troops are vindicated, and President Bush is vindicated.
PING!
Al Qaida worked closely with former operatives in Saddam Hussein regime says Iraqi PM.
As I interpret it the Iraqi PM talks about post-invasion co-operation, but apparently these entities very soon after the fall of Baghdad founded strong links. Impressive to do that without any former contacts (/sarc).
In addition, there was ample evidence that WMDs did exist and were moved shortly before the war. But these stories had “no legs” in the MSM.
Lots of people knew this seven years ago......the MSM is simply NOT going to report it.
Don’t you just hate the mainstream media? Arogant, stuffy, condescending, conceited, brats.
Yes.
