So Barham Salih is also "discredited"?

As for Zarqawi, there's no doubt whatsoever that he was a member of Al Qaeda, is there?

And yes, I believe it's widely accepted that Al Qaeda was responsible for 9/11.
Nor is there any doubt that Zarqawi was in Baghdad receiving medical treatment in 2001-2002, as well.
Nor is there any doubt that Zarqawi was associated with Ansar al Islam, as well as other Sunni jihadist groups operating in Iraq.

Now, you may believe that Saddam had no idea that Zarqawi was in Baghdad during 2001-2002, but I don't.
And you may believe that Saddam was unaware that the IIS was cooperating with Ansar al Islam, but I don't.
Saddam was a Sunni, too. Saddam was an enemy of the Kurds, too, especially the ones who wanted to establish an independent Kurdish nation. No conflict of interest, instead they had the same interests.
But let me make it clear, if I haven't already, I don't believe that there is any evidence Saddam had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks, as such, although he certainly derived benefit and enjoyment from them. |
