Report Details Saddam's Terrorist Ties
in response to reader comment: I just heard the opposite on the radio from a liberal talk show host

Submitted by Boom, Mar 14, 2008 17:04

The Pentagon report makes it clear that Saddam had ties to terrorists, but none to Al Qaeda as the Bush Administration repeatedly told us. There was absolutely no direct link found. From the report, QUOTE:

In fact, incredibly enough when it comes to Al Qaeda, Saddam was an ally of ours, as he mistrusted their leadership. Educate yourself. Learn the facts, just don't rely on Limbaugh and right wing op-ed pieces for you view of the world. And as we now know, anything we hear from the White House on the matter must be taken with a grain of salt, from this alleged link to the non-existent WMDs we were assured were there, time and time again we get bad information.

600,000 documents reviewed and not a single direct link from Saddam to Al Qaeda. Not one.

This is in no way to provde support for Saddam, but for the poster that believes that the "liberal talk show host" was wrong, you are wrong.

"This study found no "smoking gun" (i.e., direct connection) between Saddam's Iraq and al Qaeda."
