Sept. 11 Commission Report Says Iraq Rebuffed Al Qaeda
 

Somebody wake up Cheney.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Bluntly contradicting the Bush administration, the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks reported Wednesday there was ''no credible evidence'' that Saddam Hussein helped al-Qaida target the United States.

In a chilling report that sketched the history of Osama bin Laden's network, the commission said his far-flung training camps were ''apparently quite good.'' Terrorist trainees were encouraged to ''think creatively about ways to commit mass murder,'' it added.

Bin Laden made overtures to Saddam for assistance, the commission said in a staff report, as he did with leaders in Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere as he sought to build an Islamic army.

While Saddam dispatched a senior Iraqi intelligence official to Sudan to meet with bin Laden in 1994, the commission said it had not turned up evidence of a ''collaborative relationship.''

The Bush administration has long claimed links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, and cited them as one reason for last year's invasion of Iraq.

On Monday, Vice President Dick Cheney said in a speech that the Iraqi dictator ''had long established ties with al-Qaida.''

how many more lies before the sheep wake up?

Tell that to the asshole Bush who plans on making it a Major Feature of his re-election bid.

Such fucking hypocrisy on the right, they can't even deal with history as recent as three years ago they're so deep in their delusions. Just make it up as you go and bless it as coming direct from Jesus. And all the Chosen Ones say: Amen!

Ugh!

To me, this smells like a fart next to a pile of horse manure. There's a vain hope that by providing an intentional 'hook' to build a press frenzy around, that the bigger, nastier, far more disgusting story doesn't emerge... Keep the journos happy with a semi-scandal (which will ultimately dissolve into nothing), until the next disaster occurs.
