More evidence of terrorist ties - shocking!

This is just too good to pass up. Many of you (Richard – you know who you are) have been so extremely adamant in your statements that there is no way OBL could have had a working relationship with Sadam. One is a secular Muslim the other a fundamentalist – so based on this reasoning, it is impossible to think that Sadam had any relationship with OBL and his terrorist ways.

Just as I predicted a year ago, and reiterated on another blog just last week, as more of these documents get translated we are going to see that the only thing the loony left has been hanging their hat on is soon going to crumble before their very eyes – “Sadam had no ties to the people who attacked us on 9/11”. It may not be next week, and this particular document doesn’t prove anything in and of itself…but 20 or 30 of these documents will. At last check, there were hundreds of thousands of documents form Iraq secret service and military just waiting to be translated.

It is with great pleasure that I direct your attention to the following (courtesy of ABC news. As an aside, why does ABC an other media, think they must put editors notes on information that is supportive of the war effort but not on information that is against it. I don’t recall any editor’s notes on the CIA leaks, but I digress):

Here are some highlights (or lowlights depending on how bad you hate the President)

“A newly released pre-war Iraqi document indicates that an official representative of Saddam Hussein's government met with Osama bin Laden in Sudan on February 19, 1995 after approval by Saddam Hussein. Bin Laden asked that Iraq broadcast the lectures of Suleiman al Ouda, a radical Saudi preacher, and suggested "carrying out joint operations against foreign forces" in Saudi Arabia. According to the document, Saddam's presidency was informed of the details of the meeting on March 4, 1995 and Saddam agreed to dedicate a program for them on the radio. The document states that further "development of the relationship and cooperation between the two parties to be left according to what's open (in the future) based on dialogue and agreement on other ways of cooperation."

"The relationship with him is still through the Sudanese. We're currently working on activating this relationship through a new channel in light of his current location [Afghanistan]," it states.

“The document does not establish that the two parties did in fact enter into an operational relationship. Given that the document claims bin Laden was proposing to the Iraqis that they conduct "joint operations against foreign forces" in Saudi Arabia, it is interesting to note that eight months after the meeting — on November 13, 1995 — terrorists attacked Saudi National Guard Headquarters in Riyadh, killing 5 U.S. military advisors. The militants later confessed on Saudi TV to having been trained by Osama bin Laden.)”
