Actually he "inherited" the situation that in the end killed OBL, from Bush. I believe Cheney and Rumsfeld played a role too.  |

Actually, he "inherited" a situation that lost focus on what the war on terror was suppose to be - bin Laden. Then, he took office and redirected focus on where the terrorist fight should be: making the capture/killing of bin Laden a priority and significantly increased drone strikes on locations harboring terrorists. |

it's pretty well documented that Hussein, was providing funding for just about every terror organization in the region including Al Qaeda, providing money, safe harbor, training for a variety of bad characters and generally encouraging the slaughter and injury of as many innocent humans as possible, if you want to conclude that removing him and his regime had nothing to do with fighting terrorism, you are ignoring quite a bit...
wonder what the middle east would be like today if he were still around ?....anyone ever ponder that??????

Is there now??
From the 9-11 Commission's Report:
Quote:
|
Simply put, Saddam Husayn supported extremist groups that would respond to his orders and work against his enemy. This, unfortunately, does not make him the primary suspect or emince grise for al-Qaida's attacks on the United States.
|
Quote:
|
In my judgment, Saddam assessed Usama bin Ladin and al-Qaida as a threat rather than a potential partner to be exploited to attack the United States. Bin Ladin wanted to attack Iraq after it occupied Kuwait in 1990 rather than have the Saudi government depend on foreign military forces. Several captured al-Qaida operatives have said Usama refused to consider working for or with Saddam

While some contacts between agents of Saddam's government and members of al-Qaeda have been alleged, the consensus of experts and analysts has held that those contacts never led to an "operational" relationship. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence concluded that there was only one actual encounter between representatives of the Baathist regime and representatives of al-Qaeda. This single meeting took place in the Sudan in 1995, and the Iraqi representative, who is in custody and has been cooperating with investigators, said that after the meeting he "received word from his IIS chain-of-command that he should not see bin Laden again."
