I've Googled "Safwan Accords" as well, and also "Safwan Accord". Neither of these searches produced the text of the accords.

As I said before, I suspect that the reason some people are using the Safwan Agreement (Accords) in arguments like this one is because they know that it isn't possible to produce the text of that agreement (because it was never publicized) and for this reason they know that no one can examine the text and see for themself whether or not it is being represented accurately by those who are using it to support their arguments.

Unless the people using the Safwan Accords (Agreement) can produce the text of that agreement, their use of it in support of their arguments is entirely without merit.

It may be that the exact text of the Safwan Accords was not published so that Saddam Hussein could "save face".

However, there is a good description of the contents here:

I don't see anything in the description of the Safwan Agreement in the posted link that supports what people are saying about it here in this thread and elsewhere in the Mudcat.

There is nothing in that description that could be taken to mean that the Safwan Agreement could be used as a justification for the US invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003.

McCain is intended to lose. That's his purpose in this election. If it's a close one, he'll throw in the towel the morning after. Just like Kerry did. Kerry won the election. Go back and look at Ohio. Turns out he won the state after all (a recount was done, people went to prison, etc.), but Kerry did his job and threw the election to GWBush. McCain will do the same.

And THEN we'll have true fascism. Look up Webster Tarpley's writings on Obama. Obama is a true corporatist. A fascist. His running mate is an arch-fascist. Biden's state of Delaware is the home of the credit industry in America. Obama will use environmentalism as the new hammer against American society (same way the neocons have used terrorism), and the fascism will continue. Obama, not McCain, is GWBush's third term.

a lot of people in the USA would be dumb enough or ill informed enough to think that Saddam had something to do with 9/11...

And what's worse, a large segment of the U.S. population STILL DOES so think - despite absolute proof to the contrary.

Oh, ye generation of morons.

Webster Tarpley, a conspiracy theorist in the Lyndon LaRouche cult.

I think McCain might approve of the Inquisition. He likes waterboarding.
