Army Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks, at the U.S. Central Command’s ]Brooks said he did not know whether any of the reported foreign fighters were connected to known terrorist organizations. However, he said information gleaned from foreign fighters before the raid left no doubt that the site was used for training terrorists Let's see...an Army General, who is not a specialist on terrorism, confirmed that a) Saddam was training terrorists at Salman Pak, and b) these terrorists were not Iraqis, but imports from around the Arab world, though the General could not confirm their specific allegiances. And this is supposed to refute my point? You just confirmed it, rather. Only question remains is, what missions did Saddam plan to use these newly trained Islamist terrorists for? whoopee! That's a damned good reason to kill thousands of people The next time a convicted murderer sends you a death threat, let's see how calm you stay about it. Which country was Iraq recently invading? Saddam hadn't massed troops at any border since 1998 or so, it's true...he was a little constrained by the sanctions. But once they were gone, it's only natural to think that he would revert to his normal MO.
