Critics have come out, guns blazing, criticizing Bush’s attack on Iraq. Quite similar to how the westerners downplayed the medicinal value of Cordyceps sinensis, until it finally hit them in the face. This mushroom derived fungi is now one of the most sought after plants on the globe. Similarly, the Saadam-Alqaeda link was downplayed, termed wishful thinking. Madelein Albright, the then State Secretary, said she was never quite sold on this link, and did all but call it an urban legend. It was no secret that Saddam was potentially the largest supporter of the Alqaeda, and the facts to back this up are simply beyond doubt.
First, Czech republic officials, know for a fact that the 9-11 bombing was an Alqaeda co-ordinated attack, and that the mastermind, Atta, met with at least one Iraqi official. That’s not an allegation someone would throw around, considering its implications. Saddam, for years, was the Militant group’s ”benefactor-in-Chief”. The list is extensive; the Lauro cruise ship hijacking, 1985, the culprit; Abu Abbas, caught-just outside Baghdad. Abu Nidal, a Palestinian terrorist had been living in Iraq from ’99 to ’02, until he supposedly shot himself in the head-with four bullets!
Salman Pak, a training camp for terrorists, a theory confirmed by an Iraqi captain on national TV! This camp was known to train Egyptian and Middle East Nationals to be deployed all over the world! Saddam’s son, Uday, in November 2002, publishes a ”List of Honor”. Then, he goes on to mention the then Iraqi-Islamabad Ambassador; Abid Al Karim Muhammad Aswod, as the coordinator between Iraq and the Alqaeda group. If that doesn’t raise your eyebrow, then what about the fact that Saddam gave $25,000 to the families of the Palestinian suicide bomber families, up from the stipulated $10,000?
