No Some Major Connection Between Saddam And Al Qaeda

Was there really ever any doubt?

Here’s what the [captured Iraqi Intelligence Service] documents tell us:

On February 26th, 1993 the first world trade center was attacked by al-Qaeda and the EIJ (really two organizations that cooperated in 1993 and eventually merged).

A month later an official from EIJ was meeting with Saddam in Baghdad.

We have a document showing Saddam authorizing the IIS to “provide technical support� to the EIJ, and by extension, al-Qaeda.

And then al-Qaeda and the EIJ attacked the U.S. on September 11th, 2001 led by an Egyptian Jihadist, Mohammed Atta.

Now you have proof Saddam provided support to the EIJ and by extension al-Qaeda, both of which attacked us on 9/11.

Dennis Miller jokes that we should assume all of these assholes have each other on speed-dial.

It's not really a joke. It's just common sense. It takes a powerful level of fantasization on the part of the liberals and the media to imagine that outlaw Muslims, united in hatred against the US, would never cooperate with each other against their common enemy.

Oh, right, Saddam would never be so crazy to provoke the US in such a fashion. Except, of course, when he's hiring assassins to kill a former US President and his family (and Colin Powell, too, just for the for bonus points).

And "secular" Ba'athists and Al Qaeda fanatics could never put aside their differences to work together. Except, of course, in the current fighting in Iraq.

How much of an idiot does one have to be to confidently assert they "know" there was never any likelihood, or even possibility, of these murderous bastards working in concert?
