Decomposed > but GWB and Cheney *both* admitted that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9-11.
Zim : What has the democrat party been doing the last three years?
Trying to impeach the President with lies, slanders, and innuendo?
What did 'they' try to do to torpedo Judge Kavanaughs Supreme Court
nomination? Lies, slanders, and innuendo.
It would seem to be part and parcel of who and what 'they' are.
And it did not start with Donald Trump.

"The evidence now shows clearly that Saddam did not want to work with Osama bin Laden at all, much less give him weapons of mass destruction." So claimed Al Gore in an August 7 speech. "There is evidence of exaggeration" of Iraq-al Qaeda links, said Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who recently launched an investigation into prewar intelligence. "Clearly the al Qaeda connection was hyped and exaggerated, in my view," said Senator Dianne Feinsten. Chimed in Jane Harman, the ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on Intelligence, as reported in the National Journal, "The evidence on the al Qaeda links was sketchy." Jay Rockefeller, the ranking Democrat on the Senate side of that committee, agrees. "The evidence about the ties was not compelling."

Zim : Al gore, carl levin, feinstein . . . ALL high mucky muck democrats.
Let us not forget that another democrat politician - john kerry -
was running for the Presidency.
President Bush was obviously an idiot who believed the democrat party
denizens were still patriotic Americans. We know better. We know the
democrat party will tell any lie in an attempt to enslave the American
People and enrich themselves and their cronies.
The 'conclusions' of these high level democrat politicians in their
committees need to be taken very skeptically. Because WE know that
they will and have lied shamelessly for political gain. And I believe
they were lying back then. Just as they lie today.

The answer to that last question is simple: lots. The CIA has confirmed, in interviews with detainees and informants it finds highly credible, that al Qaeda's Number 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, met with Iraqi intelligence in Baghdad in 1992 and 1998. More disturbing, according to an administration official familiar with briefings the CIA has given President Bush, the Agency has "irrefutable evidence" that the Iraqi regime paid Zawahiri $300,000 in 1998, around the time his Islamic Jihad was merging with al Qaeda. "It's a lock," says this source. Other administration officials are a bit more circumspect, noting that the intelligence may have come from a single source. Still, four sources spread across the national security hierarchy have confirmed the payment.
In interviews conducted over the past six weeks with uniformed officers on the ground in Iraq, intelligence officials, and senior security strategists, several things became clear. Contrary to the claims of its critics, the Bush administration has consistently underplayed the connections between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda. Evidence of these links existed before the war. In making its public case against the Iraq regime, the Bush administration used only a fraction of the intelligence it had accumulated documenting such collaboration. The intelligence has, in most cases, gotten stronger since the end of the war. And through interrogations of high-ranking Iraqi officials, documents from the regime, and further interrogation of al Qaeda detainees, a clearer picture of the links between Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein is emerging.

Zim : The article does go on to point out that post invasion
interrogation of both Iraqi's and captured al-qaida terrorists
paint a very different picture from that which the democrat
leadership did its best to portray.
Zim.
Mad Poet Strikes Again.
