Another possible Iraq/Al-Qaida link

In light of the one-sided coverage of Richard Clarke’s book this week, we here at Various and Sundry continue today to find the other side of the argument fairly compelling and completely overlooked.

The media — which, as we all know, is completely non-partisan — continues to selectively look at Clarke’s book. It would seem they missed the part of the book that indicates a possible link between Iraq and al-Qaida. The short story: Osama was bankrolling a chemical plant in Sudan that made chemicals only used in Iraq’s weapons programs.

    Was this the same alleged terrorist factory that really turned out to be a pharmaceutical plant that we just blew up anyway?

    It appears to have been. Oh, those wacky terrorists!

    Waitasecond…that article proves nothing! And, it fails to make its own point.

    Here’s what it really says:

    • They hired an Iraqi scientist to work in a plant
    • This plant was bombed in 1998, long before Bush took office.

    Look, we KNOW Iraq HAD a chemical weapons program. Nobody disputes that. Clearly, this guy worked on that. But there’s nothing there that suggests any involvement from the Iraqi GOVERNMENT with this guy.
