p-m maliki, abu omar al-baghdadi, captured al-qaeda leader, close ties to saddam regime, kurdish daily published 2002 letter, meeting al-zawahiri

merrie says:

The Kurdish daily Kurdistani Nwe has published a 2002 letter from the Iraqi presidency that it says proves that there was cooperation between the regime of Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda.

The letter, which appeared on the paper's front page, was published by the intelligence apparatus of the Iraqi presidency and discussed an intention to meet with Ayman Al-Zawahiri in order to examine a plan drawn up by the Iraqi presidency to carry out a "revenge operation" in Saudi Arabia.

Remember this the next time you see a mainstream media report claiming there was no links between Saddam and Al-Qaeda.

... and his pockets were stuffed with yellowcake!

and his garage had hundreds of "newcular" weapons stored in it with a gigantic rubber slingshot to shoot them at Israel and the USA.

Thank heavens we all now know that Bush was right all along. Funny how there's really NO other evidence of this fascinating and now, 7 year old story.

To believe there was absolutely NO connection between Al Qaeda and people inside Saddam's regime is to be truly naive about the thinking, power plays, history of the Middle East...or for the world for that matter

To believe that Russia, Venezuela, Cuba and Iran don't have plans for us via S. America is also naive.

Yes, there was a connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein.....they were both initiated and empowered by the CIA!

Really? What were the time frames, their purposes and goals? Do we live in a perfect world where things are cut & dry? Are global affairs fluctuating or stagnate? Is what was true of yesterday true for today? Do you have intimate knowledge of the workings of the CIA and our security forces? And do you believe that they have the security of American citizens at the heart of their work?

Honestly, I'm convoluted about some of my questions but I'll put our primary intelligence agencies above those who believe America deserves to be attacked and annihilated. But then again...with the performance of Obama and his constant apologies for America...I'm disgusted.. I just know that something ...
