16. What fucking happy horseshit this is!
Geez, this misadministration is getting desperate people. Here they are, trotting out documents in Arabic(can anybody translate) and claim that the documents supposedly discuss bin Laden and WMDs:eyes: The documents that are translated into English, and that do discuss WMDs are dated from 1987! This is just another pathetic attempt to defend the indefensible by an adminstration trying to CYA.

Don't fall for the bullshit people, for that is all that these "new revalations" are, complete and utter bullshit!

Can anybody here translate the original documents? It would be mighty interesting to see what they really say.

I still don't buy the notion that Saddam was conspiring with Osama. All tried and true sources of Iraqi intelligence have unequivicolly stated that Saddam wanted nothing to do with bin Laden or his group due to the fact that Saddam didn't want fundamentalist Islam to gain a toe hold in his country, and possibly grown strong enough to topple him. Geez, he went to war with Iran in part to prevent this scenario, do you actually think that after doing that Saddam would simply welcome Wahabiism in with open arms?

And as far as WMDs go, don't you think in light of the fact that US troops were rolling over the Iraqi army Saddam would have thrown everything he had, including WMDs, at the US troops in order to slow or stop our conquest of his country? And the real telling tale here is that despite occupying the country and having free reign to go whereever we wanted for the past three years, the US has yet to find even a hint of WMDs anywhere in Iraq.

This is just more propaganda bullshit being put forth by a desperate administration in the hopes of reviving sinking poll numbers and bring about political success in the mid term elections this fall. Don't buy into the BS.
