Saddam & Al-Qaeda - Senate Intelligence Report Misrepresented By Democrats September 9, 2006 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Lefty media sources were quick to stoke the Democrat party’s squeals of delight as they floated the latest canard in the long running battle to convince the hopelessly dull that Saddam had nothing to do with terrorism and that - aside from that nasty incident gassing the Kurds, his attempted assassination of George Herbert Walker Bush, annexation of Kuwait, weapons of mass destruction programs including attempts to buy yellowcake in Africa [Yes Mr. Wilson you lying waste of human tissue, it's true...read the Butler Committee Report] a twenty year history of rape, torture [12,000 hours of which are documented on video] and tyranny - he wasn't such a bad guy. In a clear effort to turn back the momentum Mr. Bush has generated by his week-long series of speeches on national security, highly partisan Dems and snot nosed journalist have alleged that the President linked Saddam to al-Qaeda as justification for the war in Iraq and then gone on to claim that the Senate Intelligence Committee found that claim to be specious. Saxby Chambliss [R-GA] probably characterized the Democrat position best: "The Democrats knowingly distorted and misrepresented the Committee’s findings and the intelligence in an effort to prove that the Administration distorted and mischaracterized the intelligence. I voted against adopting the reports, and our Additional Views highlight the partisan nature of this report and clarify that what the Democrats allege is not true." Truth has zero bearing on what gets published by the MSM these days and the report itself goes out of its way to maintain that the findings do not reflect a, "'fully researched, coordinated and approved position' on the postwar reporting on the former regime's links to al-Qa'ida." Underlining the non-comprehensive nature of the study, such important sources as the Iraqi Perspectives Project weren’t even consulted. Unbelievably - or perhaps not so unbelievably - the Democrat’s assertions of administration subterfuge rest heavily upon "testimony" of such people as Saddam himself and Tariq Aziz, Saddam’s right hand man and Foreign Minister. That the Democrats seem to have a higher regard for the word of Saddam than for the assurances of either Mr. Blair or Mr. Bush does nothing to enhance their credibility. The report also fails to reflect any on the excellent and bullet-proof reporting on the very clear relationship between Saddam and al-Qaeda done by the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes - Case Closed, November 24, 2003 part of which the 911 Report touches on especially detailing communication and information sharing between Saddam’s intelligence organization - the IIS - and bin-Laden while he was in Sudan during the mid 1990s. What is happening here is quite clear, the Dems are spooked. Their rage against Mr. Bush has produced little of substance in the way of advancing their arguments, and the fallacious claims they have made regarding the administration’s conduct of the war have not resulted in sufficient public doubt to justify the hopes for huge electoral gains they were crowing about only 6 months ago. And then of course there is the ABC miniseries - devastating to the Democrat surrender policy - "The Path To 911" which concludes on September 11th, and which the Clintonistas have attempted to censor and suppress. All these events are conspiring to crush the only germ of hope the Democrats had to turn back the "neocons" at the polls. Actually, it’s difficult to foresee anything that even resembles such a dynamic developing during the next 60 days, though there is still an outside chance that the Dems can grab a net 15 seats in the House that hope too seems to be crumbling. Such setbacks place the Party of Surrender in the unenviable position of having to settle for hastily organized public relation’s stunts held on the worst news day of the week - Friday - to suffice in place of a clear and effective policy that might restore the power they lost when Newt’s revolution launched the era of conservative government, 12 years ago. ©1999-2006 PipeLineNews.org, all rights reserved.
