Spanish intelligence service says no link between Saddam and Al Qaeda: rep
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s940292.htm

Spain's counter-espionage service believes there is no link between toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and the extremist Al Qaeda network, national media has reported.

The head of the National Intelligence Centre, Jorge Dezcaller, added that Al Qaeda had even accused Saddam of not respecting the principles of Islam, the media said.

Mr Dezcaller's comments came in response to questions from the parliamentary committee on control of secret funds, during a closed-door meeting on Thursday.

Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, a fervent supporter of the US-led war on Iraq, on several occasions claimed there were links between the former Iraqi president and the network of Osama bin Laden, most notably in a speech to the Madrid parliament on February 5.

2. Not news... U.S. intelligence knew this before the war,
told Shrub & Co. as much, but it they chose to push the lie anyway.

3. CBS2NYC this AM: 7 of 10 think Saddam did 911
that makes this relevant news.

The ProGovMedia and the Democratleaders
know this is a lie.

60% of Americans get their news from TV

If you repeat a BigLie enough.

And BTW-Bush is going on TV to
either Concede or Escalate the Crisis.

The Status Quo is a Loser for him.
(see CBO est. $/troops run out for Iraq by 03/01/04.)

"What are you looking at?" The student points towards the WTC, and says: "Do you see those two buildings? They won't be standing there next week." (MSNBC 10/12/01
confirmed this.)

4. saddam = 9-11
invasion of iraq = wonderful.
they are on an all out campaign to hoodwink, bamboozle, carpet-bag the people once again.
but this time the american people can see their hands are bloody -- and they will want to believe the little prick in the white house to redeem them.

5. This is why the investigation in Britain is so important
It makes clear that British intelligence was "sexed-up" to persuade the British, American, and Spanish people that going to war was necessary.

<<He added Spain's counter-espionage service was not able to compile first-hand reports on Iraq as complete as those provided by the British intelligence services and consequently based its conclusions in part on data provided by its allies.>>
