Exhaustive review sponsored by the Pentagon finds NO link between Saddam, al Qaida

RebSaint said

"Captured documents reveal that the regime (of Saddam) was willing to co-opt or support organisations it knew to be part of al-Qa'ida, as long as that organisation's near-term goals supported Saddam's long-term vision." This included, for example, Saddam providing financial support for Egyptian Islamic Jihad, led by Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's deputy."

Doesn't this sound like our own strategy with arming and supporting insurgents and former Baathists???

I love the word "ties." It's so vague. "Tied to."

My god the "ties" we've had to people like Pol Pot

Whatever Saddam was doing, if anything, it makes perfect sense that he was doing it to keep tabs on or control of those groups, who were just as likely to be a threat to his regime as any body else's.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

To date there has been not one scintilla of evidence found indicating that Saddam wanted to take part in any attack on the United States or U.S. interests.
