HERE'S THE PROOF. TERRORISM SUPPORTED BY IRAQI... MORE TO COME

I never thought I would start posting news articles this often, but I have to share this one about the recent capture of Abul Abbas, the leader of the violent Palestinian group that President Bush listed as part of the evidence to Iraqi's connection with terrorism. I know the critics of the war don't like it when events like this happen. They really didn't like it when it was broadcasted globally how the Iraqi people were celebrating throughout the streets of Baghdad.

Anyway, some tend to ignore it or restate the strength of their prior statements, but during the time prior to the war many people came out on TV and said, "There is absolutely no proof as to the connection between the Iraqi regime and terrorism... this is a stretch of the truth... excuse to deceive the American people... a veil for the real reason of oil... yada, yada, yada, i'm an idiot, yada..."

Here's the article and a cut from President Bush's speech last October outlining the Iraqi threat:

ACHILLE LAURO MASTERMIND ABBAS CAUGHT

"Over the years, Iraq has provided safe haven to terrorists such as Abu Nidal, whose terror organization carried out more than 90 terrorist attacks in 20 countries that killed or injured nearly 900 people, including 12 Americans. Iraq has also provided safe haven to Abu Abbas, who was responsible for seizing the Achille Lauro and killing an American passenger. And we know that Iraq is continuing to finance terror and gives assistance to groups that use terrorism to undermine Middle East peace.

We know that Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network share a common enemy -- the United States of America. We know that Iraq and al Qaeda have had high-level contacts that go back a decade. Some al Qaeda leaders who fled Afghanistan went to Iraq. These include one very senior al Qaeda leader who received medical treatment in Baghdad this year, and who has been associated with planning for chemical and biological attacks. We've learned that Iraq has trained al Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases. And we know that after September the 11th, Saddam Hussein's regime gleefully celebrated the terrorist attacks on America.

...Some have argued that confronting the threat from Iraq could detract from the war against terror. To the contrary; confronting the threat posed by Iraq is crucial to winning the war on terror..."
