Saddam's Iraq Was Motel 6 for Terrorists
In the wake of President Bush's speech to the nation Tuesday night,
Democrats are complaining that he talked too much about 9/11, falsely
implying that Iraq was a terrorist threat.
Too bad Mr. Bush didn't cite the mountain of evidence proving that
Iraq under Saddam Hussein was a veritable Motel 6 for the world's
worst terrorists - a gang of mass murderers who had killed hundreds of
Americans - well before the U.S. invaded.
The Right Wing Sauce
According to a report last year by the Hudson Institute, the short
list of terrorists laying low in Iraq would include:
• Abu Nidal. Before Osama bin Laden arrived on the scene, Nidal was
the world's most notorious terrorist. His terror gang is credited with
dozens of attacks that killed over 400 people, including 10 Americans.
He also threatened to kill Lt. Col. Oliver North.
Abu Nidal moved to Baghdad in 1999, where he was found shot to death
in Aug 2002. Rumors swirled at the time that Nidal was rubbed out by
Iraqi intelligence because he knew too much about Saddam's terrorist
activities.
• Abu Abbas. Abbas masterminded the 1985 hijacking of the Achille
Lauro cruise ship, where wheelchair-bound American Leon Klinghoffer
was pushed over the side to his death. U.S. troops captured Abbas in
Baghdad on April 14, 2003. He died in U.S. custody last year.
• Abdul Rahman Yasin. Yasin was Ramzi Yousef's partner in the 1993
World Trade Center bomb plot, aiding the al Qaeda explosives
mastermind in prepariing the bomb that killed six New Yorkers and
wounded 1,000.
In 1996, an ABC News reporter spotted Yasin outside his government
owned house in Baghdad. The key WTC 1993 co-conspirator remains at
large.
• Khala Khadar al-Salahat. Al-Salahat, a top Palestinian deputy to Abu
Nidal, reportedly furnished Libyan agents with the Semtex explosive
used to blow up Pan Am Flight 103 in December 1988. The attack killed
all 259 passengers, including 189 Americans. Al-Salahat was in Baghdad
April 2003 when he was taken into custody by U.S. Marines.
• Abu Musab al Zarqawi. Zarqawi was training terrorists in Afghanistan
for an attack on the U.S. embassy in Jordan when the U.S. defeated the
Taliban, forcing him to flee. He relocated to Iraq, where he set up
terrorist cells in the Northern part of the country.
In an indication that he enjoyed the status of guest of the state,
Zarqawi was reportedly treated for a leg wound at one of Saddam's
exclusive private hospitals.
After years of media reports denying that Zarqawi had ties to al
Qaeda, Osama bin Laden himself dubbed Zarqawi his chief of operations
in Iraq last year.

Total Fabrication.
Bush 41 left Saddam in power in part because he had a strong record of
prosecution terrorists. Saddam and bin Laden are, and always has been, at
extreme ends of political goals. |

The Hudson Institute is a Right Wing propaganda mill with no credibility.
