Thought you all might be interested in knowing that those women and children who were shot while trying to run a US military checkpoint, were forced to do so by Fedeyeen. They were told they would be killed on the spot if they didn't attempt to run through it.. This from a Shiite Cleric who has been in contact with his counterparts in Karbala. Not that it makes it any easier for those poor guys who were forced to do the shooting out of fear it was a suicide attack.. These Baathists are utterly despicable.. And I hope too see quite a few of them hang in public squares.. Just like they did to a US soldier last week, after marching him through the town.. That's a major war crime and will only serve to incense US soldiers even more... There's going to be some "payback" whenever they get the opportunity.. Hawk

neither one of us knows anything for sure about that relationship between Saddam and Bin Laden Agreed. However we know that Bush et al tried VERY HARD, with ALL the data gathering & intelligence capabilities thay have at their disposal to forge a link between Saddam and Bin Ladin and they had nothing conclusive. That puts the probability of a bond existing between these two characters as pretty low. There is CERTAINLY a mutual enemy they both share, no matter what their philisophical differences, namely the US. And so? What does that mean? So I would like to see your evidence that excludes Bin Laden from being linked to Saddam?? What? Do you need to be reminded that the burden of proof lies on the accuser? That if a guy claims his wife is sleeping with his partner, it is up to HIM to prove she is, and NOT up to the woman to prove she is not? That as the one accusing a bond between Saddam and Bin Ladin, it is YOUR problem to PROVE the existence of this bond and NOT my problem to prove it wrong? I just have more logic, and circumstantial evidence, on my side... If so, you're hiding them all pretty well. Can't see the logic, and the "evidence" you cared to show so far is far too circumstantial to be anything near conclusive - "they have a common enemy", indeed :-)
