Don't take it out on Zion-Bob. He is just spewing out that genetic garbage of his. Ask him which anthem he rises to in the morning.

<< WHAT "terrorism in Iraq", you blind fool? :-) >> - Millions of Iraqi children starve while Saddam builds billion dollar palaces, and chemical, biological and nuclear weapon systems; and spends billions on military. - Terrorist training camps in Iraq. - 600 missing kidnapped Kuwaitis. - Large airplane shell for terrorists to learn hijacking skills. - Used chemical weapons on his own people. - Tried to assassinate an American president. - Has made war and attacked three of his neighbors. - Has bombed four of his neighbors. - Has torture chambers throughout his country, used frequently. - Sends money to terrorist families. - Steals girl scout cookies without paying. You said: WHAT "terrorism in Iraq", you blind fool? :-), and ended it with a smiley face. I have a feeling that you are the only one in the world that went thru a complete partial birth abortion and survived. <g> << Useless to try to make you see that speaking one's mind on an internet forum does not "stop" the foreign policies of your administration. >> Oh...... I never accused you of being successful. I just accused you of been a saboteur and a collaborator for Saddam's brutal regime. Don't come crying to me if you are a failure. << What a sad little man you are, Mr Barry. Have a good life. >> You are the one who is ungrateful for the courageous efforts of American and British soldiers to liberate the oppressed people of Iraq. If it were up to you, the Iraqis would continue to suffer for years under brutal oppression. You can have a good life due to the sacrifices of others. Are you grateful. No. Do you care about anyone but yourself. No. Do you care? No. Are you worth arguing with? No.

The ties between Iraq and terrorism are extensive and well documented. • Intelligence shows a pattern of contacts between Iraq’s intelligence agents and high level representatives of Al-Qaeda going back more than a decade. • We know of a meeting between Ayman Al Zawahiri and Saddam Hussein in 1993. • In the two years prior to 9/11 we know that Iraqi intelligence officers traveled to Afghanistan several times to meet with Zawahiri. • In the Al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, we found evidence in written documents, which has been corroborated, that Iraqi intelligence agents helped Al-Qaeda in its search for and experiments with chemical weapons. • We know that a senior member of Al-Qaeda named Zarqawi went to Baghdad after escaping Afghanistan with a number of other Al Qaeda members. • We know that Al Qaeda members used the Salman Pak terrorist training camp. • In the Ansar al-Islam camp in the Northeastern part of Iraq, we found evidence of direct contacts with Al-Qaeda • Al Qaeda is a main finance source for Ansar Al Islam • We know he supports Hamas • We know he paid the families of suicide bombers in Israel. Did Iraq plan or have knowledge of 9/11? Unknown. Did Iraq support Al Qaeda? Without Question. Did Iraq support Terrorism? Without Question.

More evidence of terrorism from Iraq, Al Qaeda.... WHAT "terrorism in Iraq", you blind fool? And in this episode, we also find that France is providing Iraq with intelligence information regarding private meetings with the US. Seems you are the one who is blind. Or is it that you just wish us not to defend ourselves? Given your proximity to France, this is not a surprise. Report: Iraq-al Qaeda link found LONDON, England (AP) --Documents discovered in the bombed out headquarters of Iraq's intelligence service provide evidence of a direct link between Saddam Hussein's regime and Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network, a newspaper reported Sunday. Papers found Saturday by journalists working for the Sunday Telegraph reveal that an al Qaeda envoy met with officials in Baghdad in March 1998, the newspaper reported. The paper quoted an unidentified Western intelligence official as saying the find was "sensational." The paper said the documents show that the purpose of the meeting was to establish a relationship between Baghdad and al Qaeda based on their mutual hatred of the United States and Saudi Arabia. The meeting went so well that it was extended by a week and ended with arrangements being discussed for bin Laden to visit Baghdad, the newspaper said. Journalists found a three-page file on bin Laden inside a folder lying in the rubble of one of the rooms of the intelligence headquarters, the paper said. "Iraqi agents at some point clumsily attempted to mask out all references to bin Laden, using white correcting fluid," the newspaper reported. "After carefully removing the dried fluid, however, the name is clearly legible three times in the documents." One of the pages, dated February 19, was marked "top secret and urgent" and referred to plans for the trip from Sudan of the unnamed envoy, who is described in the file as a trusted confidant of bin Laden's, the paper said. The document, signed, "MDA," which the newspaper said is a code name believed to belong to the director of one of the Iraqi intelligence sections, said the Iraqis sought to pay for the envoy's costs while in Iraq "to gain the knowledge of the message from bin Laden and to convey to his envoy an oral message from us to bin Laden." The message to bin Laden "would relate to the future of our relationship with him, bin Laden, and to achieve a direct meeting with him," the newspaper quoted the document as saying. The other documents confirm that the envoy traveled from Khartoum in Sudan to Baghdad in March 1998 and that he stayed at the al-Mansour Melia hotel. The documents do not mention whether any meeting took place between bin Laden and Iraqi officials, the newspaper said. Separately, The Sunday Times reported that its own journalists had found documents in the Iraqi foreign ministry that indicate that France gave Saddam Hussein's regime regular reports on its dealings with American officials. The newspaper said the documents reveal that Paris shared with Baghdad the contents of private transatlantic meetings and diplomatic traffic from Washington. One document, dated September 25, 2001, from Iraqi foreign minister Naji Sabri to Saddam's palace, was based on a briefing from the French ambassador in Baghdad and covered talks between presidents Jacques Chirac and George W. Bush.

Al Qaeda-tied terrorist nabbed in Iraq From David Ensor CNN Washington Bureau WASHINGTON (CNN) --Senior Bush administration officials Tuesday said a member of an al Qaeda-affiliated terror group operating in Iraq has been captured by U.S. forces. Sources said the individual is a member of a group operating in western Baghdad under the leadership of Abu Musab al Zarqawi, a Jordanian believed by the United States to have been the mastermind behind the assassination of American diplomat Lawrence Foley in Amman last October. Zarqawi was said to have received medical treatment in Baghdad in May and June of 2002 after being wounded in Afghanistan during the war. His leg was amputated, U.S. officials say, by a surgeon in Iraq. Before the war, Secretary of State Colin Powell pointed to Zarqawi's al Qaeda-affiliated group that he said was operating inside Baghdad, as evidence of ties between al Qaeda and Iraq. Powell told the U.N. Security Council in early February that after al Qaeda and the Taliban were ousted from Afghanistan, Zarqawi established a camp in northeastern Iraq to train terrorists in using explosives and poisons. During Zarqawi's stay in Baghdad, nearly two dozen of his associates set up a base of operations in the capital to move people, money and supplies throughout the country, said Powell. The United States, using another international intelligence service as an intermediary, twice gave the Iraqi government information it could have used to apprehend Zarqawi and break the Baghdad cell, but "Zarqawi still remains at large to come and go," Powell said. "From his terrorist network in Iraq, Zarqawi can direct his network in the Middle East and beyond." Mohamed Aldouri, Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations before the war, denied Powell's charges, saying Iraqi officials never met with Zarqawi. Administration officials say they do not know yet whether the newly captured individual -- as yet not named by U.S. officials -- had any connections with the government of Iraq.
