NewsMax: New Saddam Documents Detail Terror Training

[Barrett808]

The Bush administration is preparing to release never-before-seen documents captured when U.S. forces liberated Baghdad that chronicle the extensive training of thousands of radical Islamic terrorists by Saddam Hussein's regime.

"The secret training took place primarily at three camps in Samarra, Ramadi, and Salman Pak," reports the Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes, who adds that the operations began two years before the 9/11 attacks and were "directed by elite Iraqi military units."

The existence of these documents, and the nature of what they describe, has been confirmed to the Standard by eleven U.S. government officials, Hayes says.

If true, the documents represent a bombshell finding that shatters the claims of Iraq war critics who have maintained for three years that Saddam Hussein had no connection whatsoever to Islamic terrorism.

1. bull-fucking-shit..

if these were legit, they would have been front and center with these docs long ago.

[NYC Liberal]

10. I do hope they actually DID make forgeries for release.

Outing a forgery like this would be even more devastating than this story being true at all.

[yurbud]

20. I love the photo of Poppy and George Washington in the chicken wire cage

[EstimatedProphet]

13. It took them too long to forge documents this time

They wanted to do a better job that the Nigeria documents, but they had to learn how to write first.

[movonne]

2. This should not be on LBN ....nothing newsmax has to say should

be on LBN...

[asjr]

More BS. I wonder why it took them so

long to fabricate this crap.

[DIKB]

7. The Niger forgeries

were so obvious. I guess they had to wait till that kid who did those with the black crayons got older, and took some art classes.

[IndianaGreen]

8. Good forgeries take time

and the '06 elections are upon us. I am sure one of the documents will show that Saddam planned 9/11.

[NoodleyAppendage]

3. Right before the 2006 mid-term elections...very predictable.

I wonder if the BFEE hired the same Italian forger for these documents as those of the Niger forgeries.

What a load of BULLSHIT.

4. Newsmax is not a legit news source

they are a propaganda arm of the GOP.

[louis-t]

5. The Standard would stoop to forging documents.

I promise.

[Turbineguy]

6. OK, so they've had

this stuff for nearly 3 years, they've gone through all this criticism, investigations and crap but they sat on it?

Yeah right.

More likely it took nearly 3 years to forge the documents.

I would have loved to hear a legitimate reason for attacking Iraq. I am embarrassed by the US attacking a country based on lies.

[NYC Liberal]

9. HAHAHA...no.

So you're telling me that even though they've had these documents for TWO YEARS, they're only JUST NOW releasing them? They've gone through ALL this shit when they could've released them before?

BULL. SHIT!

[yurbud]

11. Why would Saddam support "Islamist" terrorists as a secular dictator?

Islamists hate guys like him and would try to overthrow him and set up Sharia law.

[Spazito]

12. Anyone wanna bet the writer of these documents eerily resembles

the one who wrote the Niger documents??? But, then again, they might have invested in a better forger this time!

[SillyGoose]

14. Put your boots on...we're going to be knee-deep in BS soon.

If these were legitimate, they would have been released a long time ago.

[oasis]

15. Newsmax =Talon News=0 credibility. (eom)

[dusmcj]

16. and the Weakly Standard is the Goebbels organ of PNAC. nt

[w13rd0]

17. NewsMax : where we repeatedly throw shit against a wall to test...

...it's stickiness.

Why would you bother even posting this here? Yeah, the Bush administration has been holding on to these documents for two years just so they could pull a whammy out on us. ACK! Why am I even dignifying this bullshit with a reply?

[Fridays Child]

18. Fine print at bottom of each document: Made in Niger

:eyes:

[Cults4Bush]

19. OLD news, that was Fedayin Im willing to bet. 2 yrs before and war drums

were already pounding.

this site is as bad as drudge when it comes to the crap they have to push for their masters.

[HuffleClaw]

21. "New" Saddam Documents

as in 'newly manufactured'. they sure like their bullshit propaganda don't they. apparently they've also 'discovered' tapes too! of saddam talking about his WMD ! (for more info, see free republic) this simply demonstrates that bush and his minions have no respect for the public at all. fake documents? that's the best they can do?
