Neo-Con Artist Lie Linking Saddamn and Al Qaeda Exposed
This week's Friday Surprise is a doosy!
One of the very few potential links between Saddamn and al Qaeda that the neo-con artists were able to come up with that had even a slight ring of truth was the existeence of Al Zarqawi's Ansar al Islam base in the no-fly zone of northern Iraq prior to the US invasion.
Yes, he was there, there is no doubt. As those uf us with functioning brains have said for 4 years, he was hiding near the Iran border, in Kurdish-occupied territory, where Saddamn could not strike him. The neo-con artists said differently:
Bush and other administration officials have said that the presence of Zarqawi in Iraq before the war was evidence of a connection between Saddam's government and al-Qaida. Zarqawi was killed by a U.S. airstrike in June this year.
Well, the Senate has issued a report, and yet another Bushite lie is exposed:
There's no evidence Saddam Hussein had a relationship with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his Al-Qaida associates, according to a Senate report on prewar intelligence on Iraq.
The long-awaited report, said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., a member of the committee, is "a devastating indictment of the Bush-Cheney administration's unrelenting, misleading and deceptive attempts" to link Saddam to al-Qaida.

And, upon closer examination, the Senate report is even more damning to W than it appeared on first glance:
"Saddam only expressed negative sentiments about bin Laden," Tariq Aziz, the Iraqi leader's top aide, told the FBI.
The report also faults intelligence gathering in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion.
As recently as an Aug. 21 news conference, Bush said people should "imagine a world in which you had Saddam Hussein" with the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction and "who had relations with Zarqawi."
Democrats contended that the administration continues to use faulty intelligence, including assertions of a link between Saddam's government and the recently killed al-Zarqawi, to justify the war in Iraq.
They also said, in remarks attached to Friday's Senate Intelligence Committee document, that former CIA Director George Tenet had modified his position on the terrorist link at the request of administration policymakers.
It said al-Zarqawi was in Baghdad from May until late November 2002. But "postwar information indicates that Saddam Hussein attempted, unsuccessfully, to locate and capture al-Zarqawi and that the regime did not have a relationship with, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi."
Saddamn was an al Qaeda opponent?????
Yes, we've been told that Saddamn 'hosted' Zarqawi in Baghdad, but it appears he hosted them in the way W 'hosted' renegade polygamist Warren Jeffs for the past few months.
