New Documents Link Saddam To Al Qaeda?Steven Hayes is working on what would be, were our media not so hoplessly partisan, a major story: Recently discovered Iraqi documents now being translated by U.S. intelligence analysts indicate that Saddam Hussein's government made extensive plans to hide Iraq's weapons of mass destruction before the U.S. invasion in March 2003 - and had deep ties to al Qaida before the 9/11 attacks. Thanks to Mark. posted by Ace at 09:26 AM
CommentsToo bad Hayes got 'em from Lucy Al Ramirez Posted by: sentinel on November 18, 2005 09:32 AM
"The Connection" (Hayes' book) is well worth a look if anyone was thinking of checking it out. It's largely a "where there's smoke, there must be fire" kind of exercise, but makes some solid points. I look forward to seeing this under-reported in the media. Posted by: RDub on November 18, 2005 09:33 AM

Alas, Hayes could tell the world that water is wet and no one would listen anymore. Remember, he and his rag are just Neocon tools searching for any evidence at all to support something WE ALL KNOW isn't true. Give it up, the meme won. Saddam was closer to Carrot Top than to Al Qaeda. Cheers, P.S. Sigh. . . Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on November 18, 2005 09:46 AM
Remember that we finally found proof of the Wanasee Conference (final solution planning) in a drawer at the labor department seval years after the end of WWII. There are millions of untranslated documents that may contain information like this. (Bureaucracies run on paper). The democratic "Bush lied" push has always gambled that any evidence would be found after the election. I just hope they are wrong. Posted by: monkeyboy on November 18, 2005 09:48 AM

I also heard there was no way Al Qaeda and Saddam would have worked together, several reports say that Saddam has chronic onion breath, and translated Taliban cafeteria documents repeatedly indicate that Bin Laden "totally hates onions". Posted by: Tom on November 18, 2005 10:31 AM
In order for Saddam to have been in bed with Al Qaeda, he'd have be some sort of self-serving prick. Anyone in their right mind knows he's all about the people. The guy's practically a saint. We right wingers need to quit trying to create fact out of feces in order to justify our own self-serving beliefs. Grenade suppository anyone? Posted by: compos mentis on November 18, 2005 11:00 AM
Speaking of Al Qaeda: Zarqawi: Jordan Bombings 'Oops, Our bad.' Al Qaeda in Iraq's leader Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi said in an Internet audiotape on Friday that the group did not intend to target Muslim wedding parties in deadly bomb attacks in Jordan last week. Posted by: V the K on November 18, 2005 12:13 PM
group did not intend to target Muslim wedding parties in deadly bomb attacks in Jordan last week. Thus bolstering my contention that it was in fact a hit on the PA general. If they wanted to attack immorality, all they needed to do was go to hollywood. Posted by: Purple Avenger on November 18, 2005 12:21 PM
Coming soon to a moonbat website near you ... Hayes LIED! Ace sighed! Posted by: Kirk on November 18, 2005 06:27 PM
addam Hussein's government made extensive plans to hide Iraq's weapons of mass destruction before the U.S. invasion in March 2003 riiight. I don't want to cause you any pain or embarassment ace. Really. But Iraq didn't have any fickung weapons of mass destruction to hide before the US invasion in March 2003, you fickung raterd. Posted by: alistair on November 18, 2005 07:32 PM
Grasp.... Grasp... Grasp Grasp... Nothing there but straws! GRASP GRASP... Damn more straws... Come on Ace I thought you were intelligent. Everyone knows there was no connections to Al Qaeda or WMD. I'm sorry even if there were *documents* found they were probably forged.... kinda like... *hint hint* the Niger document? Posted by: AlanB on November 19, 2005 12:48 AM
I know, I know. It was kinda silly to use only one document to base a whole war upon. If only there was more than one piece of evidence besides a forged receipt to justify the invasion of Iraq. Posted by: joeindc44 on November 19, 2005 12:58 AM
Like the 50+ billion barrels of oil in Iraq? The profits this administration and their Masters, big corporations, are making from this war? The ideological mentality of the Right? Posted by: AlanB on November 19, 2005 11:16 AM
These dumb fucking leftist sheep will never get it through their indoctrinated brainwashed skulls that there were WMD in Iraq after the first Gulf War. Reasoned discourse doesn't work. Long listings of links doesn't work. Showing them past reports of the very people who now contradict themselves by denying what they avowed earlier doesn't work. Trimming it down to catchy slogans like their Commie masters have done doesn't work. It has officially become a religion, and Dubya is the Satan in their New-Age pantheon. There is no logic, only faith and belief, damned be any evidence to the contrary because it is heresy and blasphemy. Posted by: Sue Dohnim on November 19, 2005 12:00 PM
Not exactly, Sue... Obviously, there were WMD left in Iraq after the first GW. They were all gone by 1995 at the very latest. Ritter was right. What the wingnut straw-graspers don't get, is that the absence of WMD in 2002 is the question. And their existence in 1992 doesn't get them off the hook. Posted by: on November 23, 2005 04:01 AM

i>They were all gone by 1995 at the very latest. And we know this how? As Sue said, the Clinton administration in 1998 and 1999 certainly didn't believe this. Posted by: geoff on November 23, 2005 04:08 AM

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.
The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible. A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia. If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper. Yes, the named suspect resembles the police sketch of Zodiac. Here's a podcast with the amateur sleuth who claims he cracked the Zodiac. Daily Mail article. Link to get around the LA Times' paywall for their article.

Still not identified, for some reason. Per Fox 25 Boston, the killer was a non-citizen permanent legal resident It continues to be strange that the police are so protective of his identity.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.) Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right. As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller." She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.
