Sorry to burst your bubble, LB.

The headline of this article is very misleading suggesting a new lead linking Saddam to al-Qaida. But just about anyone with a single synapse in their cerebral cortex will recognize al-Qaida seeks refuge in many countries around the world including Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, most of Western Europe, and probably, here, in the US. Where this administration is having difficulty in proving is that there is complicity on the Iraqi government in supporting al-Qaida in their country.

Let's examine this story and make some inferences. Iraqi's deputy prime minister, Tariq Aziz, openly acknowledges there is an al-Qaida presence in his country but that presence is located in northern Iraq under the control of the Kurds. The US refuses to disclose, publicly, the locations of the al-Qaida threat in Iraq and whether that location in confined to northern Iraq. You connect the dots.

There's nothing new here.
