Well I guess that rules out Iraq.

..BTW..I agree with you.

Yes. Or just terminally stupid. And no, I'd rather not.

this is a fact? A fact? Well if it's a fact, you can prove it. Please do so.

Ansar al-islam, commonly held to be the Iraqi A-Q "franchise". Operates in Kurdistan, which prior to the invasion was already firmly within the US sphere of influence. Look it up, lots of information in the public domain confirms what I'm telling you.

You're telling me there were A-Q in the Kurdish area.  That's nice, but irrelevent.

I asked if their were A-Q in Iraq. Even though you seem to have an extremely tenuous grasp of this discussion, I'll ask it again.  Considering A-Q's pervasive existence in many countries, do you really believe their were no A-Q in Iraq?

Rumsfeld isn't running for office, is he?



Thanks for all of the sources JBA.  Thats the first time I've seen so many collected in one place.
