FOX:"US intelligence has never doubted a decade of Saddam alQaeda links"
I heard this TWICE tonight. Once from Jim Angle on what's called 'Pebble Beach' outside of the White House and then again on the Fox Report at 7PM from a coompletely different reporter.

They cited information sent to the Senate Intelligence Committee that there had been 50 SPECIFIC cited contacts between the two parties. Apparently, according to Fox News, Osama was offered safe haven in Iraq in 1996. Added was footage of Colin's first (I think) UN speech and commentary that the Bush administration had previously mentioned it.

I just want to let you know what is coming. Complete BS, I think this is same memo Sean Hannity "broke" last week that they ran up the flag pole to see if anyone would salute but no one did.

1. WHAT US intelligence
are they talking about??

The CIA says there is no link and never has been.

And no 'US intelligence' is ever named in these reports.

3. By "intelligence" they mean....
The bullshit that Perle, Wolfowitz, and Sharon made up in their little fascist circle jerk in the mid 90's.

4. If we believe those links, and they're reason enough to invade Iraq....
...then why didn't we invade al Qaeda's primary state sponsor, a country in open possession of WMDs, and Afghanistan's next door neighbor? Instead of invading, we made Pakistan our ally.

Try applying the so-called Doctrine of Pre-emption or prosecuting the alleged War on Terror with a dose of common sense. Logic reveals both policies to be facades.

5. I don't allow that channel on my tv
It's worse than the national enquirer. At least the national enquirer broke the Rush PillBoy Limpballs story.
