I don't know how, but I landed on this article, from 2002, from venerable presidential lap-dog Brent Scowcroft, NSA Advisor for Ford and Bush 41, yet somehow he manages to have his own opinion on our current
quagmire.But there is scant evidence to tie Saddam to terrorist organizations, and even less to the Sept. 11 attacks. Indeed Saddam's goals have little in common with the terrorists who threaten us, and there is little incentive for him to make common cause with them.
He is unlikely to risk his investment in weapons of mass destruction, much less his country, by handing such weapons to terrorists who would use them for their own purposes and leave Baghdad as the return address. Threatening to use these weapons for blackmail--much less their actual use--would open him and his entire regime to a devastating response by the U.S. While Saddam is thoroughly evil, he is above all a power-hungry survivor.
This isn't Cindy Sheehan. This is a life long Republican. Don't you hate it when it takes five years to prove just how right you are?
