No Some Major Connection Between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein

• February 21, 2006

Here’s what the [captured Iraqi Intelligence Service] documents tell us:
On February 26th, 1993 the first world trade center was attacked by al-Qaeda and the EIJ (really two organizations that cooperated in 1993 and eventually merged).
A month later an official from EIJ was meeting with Saddam in Baghdad.
We have a document showing Saddam authorizing the IIS to “provide technical support” to the EIJ, and by extension, al-Qaeda.
And then al-Qaeda and the EIJ attacked the U.S. on September 11th, 2001 led by an Egyptian Jihadist, Mohammed Atta.
Now you have proof Saddam provided support to the EIJ and by extension al-Qaeda, both of which attacked us on 9/11.

Dennis Miller jokes that we should assume all of these assholes have each other on speed-dial.
It’s not really a joke. It’s just common sense. It takes a powerful level of fantasization on the part of the liberals and the media to imagine that outlaw Muslims, united in hatred against the US, would never cooperate with each other against their common enemy.
Oh, right, Saddam would never be so crazy to provoke the US in such a fashion. Except, of course, when he’s hiring assassins to kill a former US President and his family (and Colin Powell, too, just for the for bonus points).
And “secular” Ba’athists and Al Qaeda fanatics could never put aside their differences to work together. Except, of course, in the current fighting in Iraq.
How much of an idiot does one have to be to confidently assert they “know” there was never any likelihood, or even possibility, of these murderous bastards working in concert?

Seems to me the last Demcorat Presidential candidate you guys put up got a whipping from a President who is, frankly, not all that popular among his conservative base because your guy was limp-wristed on national security.

Do explain how a decorated Vietnam vet could be perceived as  "limp-wristed on national security", while your boy is getting D and F ratings from the 9/11 commission based on domestic security preparedness, despite the billions spent, and the reality that was evident in the Fed. response to Katrina.

mcair, I was being facetious in my post.  It apparently didn’t come off that way. 
WOOF

"How much of an idiot does one have to be"?

Let’s check Dick Cheney:

"despite Cheney’s appearance being on tape and broadcast nationwide (regarding the alleged meeting between Atta and an Iraqi agent, which has been widely discredited, btw), that Cheney has denied ever saying it."

Wow,amazing stuff, why didn’t Cheney et al publicize these documents?  Geesh, I guess we’ll just have to wait until it hits Fox News then we’ll know for sure that the connection is real.

LMD: yeah, really. WTF? If there was any mileage to be made out of this, you don’t think that perhaps the Administration and their noise machine wouldn’t have been all over this like stink on shit?

"It takes a powerful level of fantasization on the part of the liberals and the media"

Quite apart from the irony of this assertion, is "fantasization" a word? Makes me almost kinda miss Rob, at least his fantasy Bushworld is coherent, even though it infrequently bears any relation to reality.

Wow, hardly had I hit "post" and he’s back, supporting this shit.

I’d better tune into Fox "News", see what they make of it…LMAO.

I don’t know, perhaps because he is limp-wristed on national security?

Major connection between our goverment and the arabs that attacked us: The outsourcing of port operations to a UAE company.

 Why no posts on the port outsourcing to a terrorist supporting country????

You posted the conclusions that "American Thinker" deduced from the documents, which are dubious at best. Then, respectfully, I must say that the conclusions that you reach are an even further stretch. First, those docs have been on the web for over a year, they’re not autheticated by any legitimate government authority ( they could well be real, but there’s just no proof yet). They’re translations which leads one to question the skills of the translator.

As another commenter has noted, with Whitehouse poll numbers so low they’d be the first ones to release any condemning evidence to the MSM to vendicate their lack of good judgement so far. Then the docments themselves don’t tell us anything that wasn’t known from other sources like globalsecurity or IAEA or the national archive.

Then you need to go read the pertinent thread. This one concerns the many conections between terror groups, both nationalists and independent contractors. Who do, and have for many years, worked together.

Rep. Peter King, head of Homeland Security is asking the relevant questions. It seems the notion that the Bush Administration is competent in any area of national security is wearing a little thin – among Republicans that have any sense, that is.

My,my samantha, your a wordy little thing aren’t you? Worked my way through that lovely bit of fiction only to find comments closed. How typical.

This discussion always brings to mind a case from the mid’80s. FBI busted a guns&drugs running operation, run by the Aryan Brotherhood and the militant remains of the BlackPanthers. Ideology never gets in the way of terrorists getting new toys and having fun.

 I was addressing the comment above me. Maybe I missed it, but I would think outsourcing the guarding of our ports to a country that has known terrorist links would be of concern to a group of people that backs a preemptive invasion to protect their country.

Graeme, you have to read more than one thread. Check the titles of the posts, then read and comment on the ones that are of interest to you. See how that reading thing works? This thread is on the long known links between the Ba’athists and multiple international terrorist organisations. Conflicting ideology rarely gets in the way of these people having their fun. It constantly gets in the way of free people defending themselves against them.

Over time, this will become the elephant in the small room that the MSM and the left will joke about at their own peril. And yes, this will play out before the election, and they will be disappointed.

Read the whole thing and tell me what you find to be intentionally misleading or otherwise not on point.

Yup.  That’s right guys, its all a big joke.

Seems to me the last Demcorat Presidential candidate you guys put up got a whipping from a President who is, frankly, not all that popular among his conservative base because your guy was limp-wristed on national security.

So, you know, keep laughing at this stuff.  Meanwhile, those of us who take national security seriously will be keeping an open mind.

Yes, Chris.  Keep downplaying the war on terror as though it were some sort of bad joke made up by conservatives.  See how far that gets your side in the next election.
