I doubt any trolls will rise to the bait, even if they do the answer is entirely predictable. British and American government sources are not to be trusted, ever. A pity they don't employ the same level of skepticism to the Iraqi government and the buffoonish satire sites at least one of them qoutes.

Only western democracies have the tolerance to suffer them. Anywhere else, Cuba, China, Iraq, they would be buried in a hole or rotting in a shallow grave. It's the bitterist irony that the very thing they hate, is what allows them to live unmolested, the places they like, would simply kill them for acting as they do.

Considering that this bit of Iraq was not controlled by the Iraqi government but the Kurds, how is this a saddam/osama link.

BTW definintion of a troll= someone who I disagree with.

There are reports appearing that Iraqi POW's are stating that Al Quada has operatives working with Uday's Faydayeen, unconfirmed as yet. Still, considering that the sources you qoute from time to time have a decided axe to grind, it's worth at least not rejecting out of hand harm.

At least look before you form a conclusion. Even nominally nuetral Rueters, and the non-nuetral Arab News are starting to find that maybe Saddam is a monster, and the US isn't. Don't be the last holdout on the Titanic harm, the lifeoats are leaving.
