by http://www.MicrowaveDisplay.co... MORE about Saddam's terror links: http://www.weeklystandard.com/... TO an excellent discussion from The World Tonight about his terror links: http://emedia.am770chqr.com/Po... news, but still interesting. A 1999 ABC News report on the connections between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida.Again, this is from 1999(!), while Bill Clinton was still Prez. This segment was from a "Crime and Justice" show originally aired on January 14, 1999 featuring John Miller, the late John McWethy, Sheila MacVicar, and Cynthia McFadden.This is the transcript:In Germany, Mamdouh Salim, alleged to be a key military advisor and believed to be privy to bin Laden's most secret projects, is also apprehended. The U.S. government alleges he was under secret orders to procure enriched uranium for the purpose of developing nuclear weapons. These are allegations bin Laden does not now deny.OSAMA BIN LADEN: (through translator) It would be a sin for Muslims not to try to possess the weapons that would prevent the infidels from inflicting harms on Muslims. But how we could use these weapons if we possess them is up to us.SHEILA MACVICAR: (voice-over) With an American price on his head, there weren't many places bin Laden could go, unless he teamed up with another international pariah, one also with an interest in weapons of mass destruction.VINCE CANNISTRARO: Osama believes in, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend and is someone I should cooperate with". That's certainly the current case with Iraq.SHEILA MACVICAR: (voice-over) Saddam Hussein has a long history of harboring terrorists. Carlos the Jackal, Abu Nidal, Abu Abbas - the most notorious terrorists of their era - all found shelter and support at one time in Baghdad. Intelligence sources say bin Laden's long relationship with the Iraqis began as he helped Sudan's fundamentalist government in their efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction.Three weeks after the bombing, on August 31, bin Laden reaches out to his friends in Iraq and Sudan. Iraq's vice president arrives in Khartoum to show his support for the Sudanese after the U.S. attack. ABC News has learned that during these meetings, senior Sudanese officials acting on behalf of bin Laden ask if Saddam Hussein would grant him asylum.Iraq was, indeed, interested. ABC News has learned that in December, an Iraqi intelligence chief, named Farouk Hijazi*, now Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, made a secret trip to Afghanistan to meet with bin Laden. Three intelligence agencies tell ABC News they cannot be certain what was discussed, but almost certainly, they say, bin Laden has been told he would be welcome in Baghdad.And intelligence sources say they can only speculate on the purpose of an alliance. What could bin Laden offer Saddam Hussein? Only days after he meets Iraqi officials, bin Laden tells ABC News that his network is wide, and there are people prepared to commit terror in his name who he does not even control.OSAMA BIN LADEN: (through translator) It is our job to incite and to instigate. By the grace of God, we did that, and certain people responded to this instigation.# # #* see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... matter how one might feel about the Iraq War, we must acknowledge several facts:- Saddam and Iraq had links with Osama and al-Qaida well before 9/11.- Al-Qaida in Iraq is nearly decimated.- Our ongoing dismemberment of the radical Shia militias is the last key to winning in Iraq.- The long-sought light at the end of the tunnel is well in sight. In other words, victory is at hand.So now let us properly honor the sacrifices of our fallen heroes by pressing on to the victory they have purchased for us.In the words of Chuck Yeager, "Press on!" http://www.microwavedisplay.co...

The media absolves itself of responsibility in pushing the perception of a connection, just as Congressional Democrats have done- all because, today, we're living under Bush's watch. They conveniently forget regime change became U.S. policy under Clinton, and that Saddam's history of defiance and brutality didn't begin with Bush #43.More despicable is the media distortions today (re: Iraqi Perspectives Project, Harmony Documents, etc.), perpetuating a false narrative of "Bush lied".

Baby doctor & surgeon Ayman al-Zawahiri was linked with Saddam before Osama was.This pious guy with a prayer bump on his forehead ran Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ), which formally merged with al-Qaida in 1998, and has served for yeas at its operational commander.EIJ, an ideological cousin of the Hamas terror movement with roots in Egypt's (now "non-violent") Muslim Brotherhood, also brought its vast terrorist operational experience to al-Qaida.Crack a book, fellas! Or Wikipedia even!!

"Here's how I define that infidel Saddam: his mother is his land, though the butcher knows it not. And he fucks with the land. So he is a motherfucker". Osama bin Laden, to Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir
