Saddam The Terrible

I mean the terrorist.

What was the relationship between Saddam Hussein's inner circle and Islamic terrorists? A newly released document appears to provide evidence that in 1999 the Taliban welcomed "Islamic relations with Iraq" to mediate among the Taliban, the Northern Alliance and Russia, and that the Taliban invited Iraqi officials to Afghanistan.

The document, captured in Iraq but never before seen by the public, offers glimmers of new insight at the Pentagon's Foreign Military Studies Office Web site. The FMSO is a research and analysis center under the U.S. Army's Training and Doctrine Command.

Many, many things have never been seen in public and which pertain to foreign policy decisions made in the past 10 years ... starting with Clinton's *Desert Fox*. Yet there's still no shortage of brainless dweebs who authoritatively cite cnn.com "news" reports as the best and final information which exists.

Folks in the military and people who work in defense largely have a very hard time stomaching the bleating of the ignoramuses.
