I'm not denying that Hussein did, indeed have connections to terrorist organizations.
I'm just quoting what you wrote.
You wrote: "No real substantive ties to terrorist organizations."
I'm simply saying that, according to the report, Saddam did have ties to terrorist organizations, Islamic Jihad was prominently mentioned.
Now you say that you're not denying that Saddam did have connections to terrorist organizations. Fair enough.
Is it fair to assume that you believe Islamic Jihad to be one of those organizations?
