More information that has no place to verify it.... How much time do you
spend making this stuff up?

If the bad guy lived in California, and the California Government
supported
him, there would be a connection....

But a bad guy living in the Kurdish area, gassed by Saddam... I think it
is
safe to say Saddam didn't support him.


Saddam had Iraqi agents working up there with al Zaqarwi and his Ansar
al-Islam branch of al Qaeda. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan peshmerga
began battling the group after a failed assassination attempt on the
Kurdish
Prime Minister in 2002. bin Laden sent the terrorists to the Northeast
part
of Iraq on September 1, 2001 to set up safe-haven for terrorists following
the 9/11 attacks that were to follow 10 days later. Also, the terrorists
were working with Saddam with the agreement to provide terrorist attacks
against the flank of any US troop movement or special forces ops advancing
on Baghdad from the north.

If Ansar-al-Islam was battling the PUK soldiers but helping Saddam, I
think
it's safe to say that Saddam *did* support al Zaqarwi and his group.
