Don't you see, you're contradicting yourself. How can you write this... Saddam knowingly provided a safe haven to an active international terrorist network. and this? Ansur al-Islam was based in the mountains along the Iranian border, and had forcibly taken several villages tenuously under Kurdish control. this group took land - Saddam didn't provide them any safe haven, they took land that we'd blocked him from keeping in his dictatorship. If they took the land from anyone, it ws the Kurds, or us. Because Ansur al-Islam controlled that area. Like it says above. "Ansar al-Islam, t-h-a-t c-o-n-t-r-o-l-s t-h-i-s c-o-r-n-o-r o-f I-r-a-q." You're the stupid one who's unable to read... But Baghdad has an agent in the most senior levels of the radical organization, Ansar al-Islam, that controls this corner of Iraq. In 2000 this agent offered al-Qaida safe haven in the region. In other words, they weren't there before. Whether or not this agent existed, if he offered this group a safe haven, it's nothing to do with Saddam because it wasn't his control to give. You're the one incapable of understanding the pap you spurt at me... Sorry, you're wasting too much of my time. Have as many last words as you wish.
