>>So, you can read that Saddam personally approved a meeting with Osama who asked for an operational alliance, read further that Saddam then cooperated by doing as Osama asked vis-a-vis Osama's chosen propaganda, and still say Saddam had ZERO affiliation with Al Qaeda? What a joke you are.<<

Dan -

The meeting occurred in 1995, right? And the small favor that Osama asked was allegedly granted at that time, right?

Even if we grant the supposed "favor" just for argument's sake, what evidence is there that the so-called "relationship" ever went one step further than that? I'd call that flimsy evidence of any meaningful collaboration between them, especially given bin Laden's later calls for Hussein's downfall.

Grasping at straws, is what that is.
