you are absolutely wrong, the war on Iraq is/was a war against Al Quida and terrorism at large, you fail to see the larger picture of fighting terrorism on a global level, it all goes towards teaching the dirty rotten child killing slimy Islamic Muslim radical fundamentalists an object lesson... do I need to spell out for you the evil done in the name of Islamic terrorism... Kobel Towers, USS Cole, WTC 93, WTC 9/11, Bali, Tanzania, Nigeria, Israel, no end to it guy..... these creeps have to be stopped or they will get all of us, cant you see that....? The Bush administration is combating Islamic terrorism on a global level...open your eyes... there are people out there, like chinu, that want you to believe that Bush is just picking on smaller countries because he is bored...... wake up man... chuck

Is that assertion as reliable as when you said Kirma was in the no-fly zone? According to a May 2003 debriefing of a senior Iraqi intelligence officer, Iraqi intelligence established a highly secretive relationship with Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and later with al Qaeda. The first meeting in 1992 between the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) and al Qaeda was brokered by al-Turabi. Former IIS deputy director Faruq Hijazi and senior al Qaeda leader [Ayman al] Zawahiri were at the meeting--the first of several between 1992 and 1995 in Sudan. Additional meetings between Iraqi intelligence and al Qaeda were held in Pakistan. Members of al Qaeda would sometimes visit Baghdad where they would meet the Iraqi intelligence chief in a safe house. Reporting from a well placed source disclosed that bin Laden was receiving training on bomb making from the IIS's [Iraqi Intelligence Service] principal technical expert on making sophisticated explosives, Brigadier Salim al-Ahmed. Brigadier Salim was observed at bin Laden's farm in Khartoum in Sept.-Oct. 1995 and again in July 1996, in the company of the Director of Iraqi Intelligence, Mani abd-al-Rashid al-Tikriti. The Director of Iraqi Intelligence, Mani abd-al-Rashid al-Tikriti, met privately with bin Laden at his farm in Sudan in July 1996. Tikriti used an Iraqi delegation traveling to Khartoum to discuss bilateral cooperation as his "cover" for his own entry into Sudan to meet with bin Laden and Hassan al-Turabi. Saddam personally sent Faruq Hijazi, IIS deputy director and later Iraqi ambassador to Turkey, to meet with bin Laden at least twice, first in Sudan and later in Afghanistan in 1999. . . . An Oct. 2002 . . . report said al Qaeda and Iraq reached a secret agreement whereby Iraq would provide safe haven to al Qaeda members and provide them with money and weapons. The agreement reportedly prompted a large number of al Qaeda members to head to Iraq. Just to name a few.
