That shell is the tip of the iceberg.

Sure, NOBBY, sure.

Meanwhile, please explain to me what ties Al Zaqarwi had with Saddam
Hussein... when he was living & operating in an area where the US
exerted more control than Iraq...

Easy there, Doug. You're dealing with someone who needs to have a minimal
amount of information perfectly arranged and never disturbed. Sort of like
Dustin Hoffman in "Rainman".

According to Colin Powell's speech to the UN on Feb. 5th, 2003:


a.. Abu Musaq Zaqarwi: poison terror training center, including ricin.
Photo of factory at Kurmal. One pinch kills in 72 hours, no antidote.
a.. Developed with al Qaeda safe haven in Kurdish NE Iraq, where Saddam
has agent.
a.. Terrorists have gathered in Baghdad for 8 months. In contact with al-
Zaqarwi.

Colon Powel last Sunday on Meet The Press... We have found that our
multisourced information from before the war was incorrect.

Great. And what specifically was he referring to? Certainly not al Qaeda's
link to Saddam.

Is this the same Colin Powell who has said that the Bush administration
has deliberately kept him misinformed, and who said that he in turn
mislead the UN?

And this is proof of Saddam's involvement... how?

... One pinch kills in 72 hours, no antidote.

Other than to invoke panic, is there any reason that the effectiveness
of the poison is evidence against Saddam?

Trying to help or hurt? Considering that Al Queda had several times
publicly declared Saddam Hussein to be one of their biggest enemies, it
seems unlikely to me that an "Al queda safe haven" in territory
controlled by enemies of Saddam is very good proof he was involved in
the Sept 11th attack.

a.. Terrorists have gathered in Baghdad for 8 months. In contact with al-
Zaqarwi.

Which terrorists? Gathering for what purpose?

It seems very murky and incomplete to me. OTOH the simple facts are that
the Sept 11th terrorists were Saudis and Egyptian. Have we seen any
anti-terrorist operations in Egypt on Saudi Arabia?

But wait, there's more. The Turks were among our best allies in the
Middle East, now they are coming to hate us. The Syrians were very
cooperative in anti-terrorist operations, now Bush & Cheney have slapped
them with sanctions and they are likely to begin aiding & abetting them.
North Korea is closer than ever to having an atom bomb, and Bush &
Cheney have done nothing about that. Furthermore, Wolfowitz and
Rumsfeld's policy of deliberately flouting the Geneva Convention seems
to be skating closer and closer to a war crimes issue. Their
politicization of the U.S. intelligence community is making it less and
less effective.

This is just a short list, and makes it readily apparent that Bush &
Cheney's strategy seems curiously ineffective in fighting terrorism.
OTOH it is tremendously effective in generating profits for military
contractors starting with Halliburton of course.

Powell never claimed such a thing.
