Wed 13 September 2006 - No connection
Well there we go. A US senate report says there was no connection between Iraq and Al Queda prior to the war starting. I can’t say I’m surprised.
I haven’t changed my view: Saddam is a evil git, but there is no ongoing campaign to oust evil gits, so why was he special?
There are estimates that at least 40,000 Iraqi civilians have died since the war commenced. I wonder how many died under Saddam’s totalitarian rule.
And how much more effective would we in the west be at defending ourselves against terrorism if we hadn’t sent thousands of troops and billions of dollars of equipment over to Iraq?
Any surprise that the Washington Post is reporting the trail to Bin Laden is “stone cold”?
