Nope... No Terrorists Here II

Back in September, it was noted here how incredibly ignorant The Great Pretender is concerning the terrorists who threaten our safety and our way of life.

"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion. Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

You couldn't be more wrong John Kerry. Deroy Murdock at the NRO reminds us yet again that anyone stupid enough to believe that Saddam Hussein had no ties to terrorists or to al Qaeda in particular needs to visit Hussien and Terror on the internet. The website is adapted from a speech by Deroy Murdock on September 22 at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.

Hussien and Terror has undeniable proof that Saddam Hussein supported terrorists, providing them with, yes, safe haven, cash, diplomatic assistance, training, and even medical care.

"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion. Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

You won't be surprised to see copies of checks given to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers in Israel, as well as pictures of the terrorists and their victims.

But you may be surprised to read the words of former Italian prime minister Bettino Craxi explaining that terrorist Abu Abbas — ring leader of the October 1985 Achille Lauro cruise-ship hijacking — was freed from Italian custody because he traveled on an Iraqi diplomatic passport.

"Abu Abbas was the holder of an Iraqi diplomatic passport…The plane was on an official mission, considered covered by diplomatic immunity and extra-territorial status in the air and on the ground." Bettino Craxi, Italy’s prime minister, October 14, 1985

After escaping Italian police in October 1985 following the Achille Lauro hijacking (thanks to his Iraqi diplomatic passport), Abu Abbas finally ended up in Baghdad in 1994, where he lived comfortably as one of Saddam Hussein’s guests. U.S. soldiers caught Abbas in Iraq in April 2003. This time, he did not get away. He died last March 9, in American custody, reportedly of natural causes.

But... but... but...

"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion. Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

Visit Hussien and Terror and read about the May 7, 2003 decision by Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. to award the families of two September 11 victims $104 million in damages after their attorney proved that Saddam Hussein's government provided "material support" to al Qaeda in the September 11 massacre.

"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion. Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

"Iraq was not even close to the center of the War on Terror before the president invaded it." John F. Kerry, Presidential Debate, September 30, 2004

Oh yes, John Kerry. You are wrong, very wrong, as is The Junior Achiever and Senator Killer.

"There is no connection between Saddam Hussein and the attacks of September 11th — period." John Edwards, Vice Presidential Debate, October 5, 2004

"Iraq was not a breeding ground for terrorism. Our invasion has made it one." Senator Ted Kennedy, October 16, 2003

"I never believed in the link between Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda and Islamist terrorism." former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, October 21, 2003

"The evidence now shows clearly that Saddam did not want to work with Osama bin Laden at all." Al Gore, August 2003

Today, John Kerry, you and the entire Democratic Party combine to be the number one threat to America.
