Doubts cast on efforts to link Saddam, al-Qaida

By Warren P. Strobel, Jonathan S. Landay and John Walcott

Knight Ridder Newspapers



WASHINGTON - The Bush administration's claim that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had ties to al-Qaida - one of the administration's central arguments for a pre-emptive war - appears to have been based on even less solid intelligence than the administration's claims that Iraq had hidden stocks of chemical and biological weapons.


Nearly a year after U.S. and British troops invaded Iraq, no evidence has turned up to verify allegations of Saddam's links with al-Qaida, and several key parts of the administration's case have either proved false or seem increasingly doubtful.


Senior U.S. officials now say there never was any evidence that Saddam's secular police state and Osama bin Laden's Islamic terrorism network were in league. At most, there were occasional meetings.


Moreover, the U.S. intelligence community never concluded that those meetings produced an operational relationship, American officials said. That verdict was in a secret report by the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence that was updated in January 2003, on the eve of the war.


"We could find no provable connection between Saddam and al-Qaida," a senior U.S. official acknowledged. He and others spoke on condition of anonymity because the information involved is classified and could prove embarrassing to the White House.

Holden, he's trying to use 9/11 to justify the mess Bush has made in Iraq. I simply point out the fact Iraq was not part of the War on Terror the American people approve to get those responsable for 9/11.

Excellent quote Thrawn! BTW im not so new on this board, but sometimes ignorant for certain.. 8)

It would be hard to sum up America's situation better than Rolex has. I doubt that I could, anyway.. I would imagine that  most of these Diplomats and ex-military folk banding together have very similar arguments against Bush..

Excellent post Rolex!

[Eagler]

Iraq was a good move - i t has our military fighting the enemy in the open as it should be rather than our civilians dying in our subways and skyscapers

as for the 9/11 ref, it gave Bush a pass on ANYTHING stated before that day concerning his admin and their pre-9/11 plans on running this country

do you REALLY think  skerry kerry is a better leader or it your hatred so blind you'd vote Larry Flynt in if the polls showed he'd beat Bush?

sad sacks many of you ...

The 'war against terrorism' (which I support 100%) has been a failure.

Name 2 attacks on that have occcured since 9/11 on American Soil. Some failure, huh?


Instead of focusing on curtailing terrorism through cooperative efforts world-wide, this administration has so far misspent over $1200 per American family invading a country that had nothing to do with the WTC tragedy

We Tried being Cooperative. Remember the whole UN thing? Everyone else wanted to sit on thier hands and wait for the next bomb to go off. We took out Hitler in 1938 here.

; created more terrorists with a rallying call and a cause;
Does fighting crime create more criminals? Maybe we should disband out police forces too. PLus, with Iraq, we are fighting the Jihad All Star Team on their Turf, NOT OURS.

caused the deaths of thousands of innocent people;
You sure you're not looking at a picture of a Saddam Era Mass Grave?

tortured hundreds who were held without cause or reason;
You've got to be kidding me? You are a victim of the media, my friend.

alienated and disillusioned most of the world and their image of America and what it is was supposed to stand for

What the world thinks is best for America..never is.

and allowed a zealot Attorney General with a religeous agenda (The "Rapture") to sneak away with your basic, constitution-based freedoms like a thief in the night.


If you lost your freedoms, how are you able to type all these terrible things about the government and not get arrested? Better go hide in the rainforest.

Rolex,

That post could be the Liberal Democrat Manifesto, and almost every word of it is completey wrong.

He sent a rescue mission, our military screwed it up.

It was screwed up but he was the head of the military. Also, he may have dictated the size of the rescue force which was much too small imo. And just because there was a setback was no reason to then sit on his hands and do nothing.

Really. Pray tell how you decided that it was the military that screwed it up?

First, tell me what a cakewalk it should have been, flying into a hostile country without being discovered, refueling at an unimproved piece of desert..... you know, tell me how YOU would have done it successfully under the same circumstances and political restrictions.

Thanks in advance.

WTG muck.  I really wanted to waste my time exposing rolex as a tool like you did but decided against it.  Still...I enjoyed reading your rebuttal.  I agree with all of your points.
