I just discovered that a Pentagon report has just been released that 'found no "smoking gun" or any evidence of a direct connection between Saddam's Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist organization.', according to ABC News.

Also, according to ABC News, the Bush Administration has tried to suppress it. It will not be available on the Joint Forces Command website. It will only be available for those who ask for it.

Here is a link to the ABC News article:

No, it just came out yesterday.


it doesn't disclose the date of the report but only that would not be posted yesterday...there is nothing new in the report that Bush has not admitted to so the only motive to bring it up now is to slight the Republican party.....yawn

The Bush Administration has lied repeatedly to the American public concerning ties of Saddam Hussein's government to Al Qaeda, Al Qaida, or however you want to spell it.

They knew it was a lie, but they repeated it anyway.
