Subject: RE: BS: War--Really Began Now
So Iraq has no connection to terrorists? Ask yourself this question. Where do the terrorists get their explosives, their arms, their chemicals?
Well, one thing is for sure, they don't manufacture these goods themselves. They don't have the factories needed to make the ingredients that go into things like semtex.
They BUY them from countries like North Korea, France and Iraq. Sometimes the ingredients are "dual use", sometimes not but the old saw still holds true: terrorists don't make bombs, states make bombs.
There is, of course, no actual proof that Iraq has sold to terrorists, mores the pity, but it's certainly a strong possibility. To say that bin Laden could not make common cause with Saddam to harm the US because of religious differences is naive. Bin Laden will use any tool he can find, even a secular state like Iraq. After all, the 9/11 suicide pilots used the US as their training ground.
I believe that the link will be proved in time.
