From Salon’s Report? What Report?: “With the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war quickly approaching, the Pentagon sponsored a new study on the relationship between Saddam Hussein and terror groups including al-Qaida. The report found no ‘direct connection’ between Saddam’s Iraq and al-Qaida. The report did say that Saddam was one of the leading supporters of terrorism in the Middle East during his rule, but it found that, instead of foreign nations, ‘the predominant targets of Iraqi state terror operations were Iraqi citizens, both inside and outside of Iraq.’”

Justin - Will you now stop saying that we had to take out Saddam because he was a major supporter of terrorism against Israel and the United States?
No. I have little faith in government reports no matter what they say. They are batting like .110 at this point. I will just use common sense and say 1) Saddam hated the US and everyone that had anything to do with the US. 2) Was making billions of dollars a year funded from our “allies” (Germany, France, and the UN) 3) was killing millions of Iraqi’s every year. 4) And in my opinion I believe that at some point in the future either he or one of his sons would have done something against us or someone else in the Middle East.
Its cool how when a report that comes out from that supports whatever view a person wants it is used as the end all be all. I doubt they have all the information and with the amount of money that he had somehow I doubt they would be able to track down if he gave 50 grand to some persons family for blowing themselves up in Israel.

What’s interesting about this report is that you know it was commissioned to demonstrate the opposite of what it found, but that the Pentagon learned its lesson the first time around, and it’s not going to be anybody’s Yes Man.
Or at least, I hope that’s what this report means.
Or it is picking sides in this election and this reports helps that side.
