Pentagon: No link between Saddam and al Qaida
Exhaustive review finds no link between Saddam and al Qaida
WASHINGTON – An exhaustive review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents that were captured after the 2003 U.S. invasion has found no evidence that Saddam Hussein’s regime had any operational links with Osama bin Laden’s al Qaida terrorist network.
The Pentagon-sponsored study, scheduled for release later this week, did confirm that Saddam’s regime provided some support to other terrorist groups, particularly in the Middle East, U.S. officials told McClatchy. However, his security services were directed primarily against Iraqi exiles, Shiite Muslims, Kurds and others he considered enemies of his regime.</em>
Hurry, someone tell Boortz:
And what about Al Qaeda in Iraq? Obama says that there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq until George Bush invaded. Sorry .. wrong. Now there’s no way the left is ever going to admit it, but the intelligence evidence that Al Qaeda was operating in sections of Iraq. Facts are troublesome things.
Indeed they are, Neal. TTP is in breathless anticipation of Boortz’s slandering of the Pentagon as “appeasers” and “wimps” for this news.
