Saddam Docs on Terrorism and WMD

I realize that liberals are incapable of comprehending information harmful to their stated policy that Saddam Hussein had no WMD programs and no ties to terrorism, but I love posting these little reminders anyway.

Let’s take a little trip down recent-history lane, shall we?

Mark Elrod, Harding University poli-sci professor:

Of these findings, the most disturbing one is the widely-held belief among US troops that the US presence in Iraq has something to do with 9/11. This is considerably higher than what most Americans now believe about the 9/11-Saddam connection – a recent CBS News poll puts the number of Americans who believe that Saddam Hussein was personally involved in 9/11 at about 57%. That’s still pretty high considering the fact that the bipartisan 9/11 Commission determined in 2004 that there was no Al-Qaeda-Saddam connection.

Leon Gray, Air America radio host:

It’s occurred to me, a new rule needs to be put in place in order to assure Democrats and Republicans engaging in discussions where opinions differ that the argument is worth the time. Before the games begin both side must agree on what’s true and what’s not.

I tried it on my show recently and it’s a must…

For example: Finding no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is true so discussions on opposing sides can only go forth after both sides agree on this point. There’s still the issue of bad intelligence, bringing democracy to the Iraqis, even the fact that country sits on 11% of the world’s oil supply. But, there were no W-M-D’s.

As I note in the comments, that particular “fact” happens not to be true. My old website devoted to the subject is here.
