ABC Report on Iraq’s Involvement with Usama (VIDEO)

And here’s another clilp I found today after Rush outed the YouTube clip of an earlier Al Gore ripping George H.W. Bush for not paying attentioni to Iraq.

According to this ABC report:

ABC News (January 14, 1999) - “Saddam Hussein has a long history of harboring terrorists. Carlos the Jackal, Abu Nidal, Abu Abbas, the most notorious terrorists of their era, all found shelter and support at one time in Baghdad. Intelligence sources say bin Laden’s long relationship with the Iraqis began as he helped Sudan’s fundamentalist government in their efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction.”

“ABC News has learned that in December [1998], an Iraqi intelligence chief, named Farouk Hijazi, now Iraq’s ambassador to Turkey, made a secret trip to Afghanistan to meet with bin Laden. Three intelligence agencies tell ABC News they cannot be certain what was discussed, but almost certainly, they say, bin Laden has been told he would be welcome in Baghdad.”

No Iraq connection to UBL, eh?

Al Gore vs. George H.W. Bush on Iraq (VIDEO)

Nope, it’s not the position you think, either. Today on Rush Limbaugh, he talked about a clip someone pointed him to on YouTube with Al Gore deriding then-President George H.W. Bush for NOT pursuing Iraq for Saddam’s ties to terrorism. GAWD, don’t you hate it when your past words come back to haunt you?
