Do they really expect anyone to believe their propagandist lies!

WASHINGTON — Usama bin Laden says he "is in partnership with Iraq" in a new statement that will be aired on Arab television Tuesday, Secretary of State Colin Powell told a Senate panel.

Powell said he read a transcript of "what bin Laden — or who we believe to be bin Laden" will be saying on the Al-Jazeera Arab satellite station later Tuesday, "where once again he speaks to the people of Iraq and talks about their struggle and how he is in partnership with Iraq."

However, Al-Jazeera chief editor Ibrahim Hilal told The Associated Press his station has no such tape.

The statement, Powell said, shows why the world needs to be concerned about Iraq's ties to Al Qaeda terrorists.

"This nexus between terrorists and states that are developing weapons of mass destruction can no longer be looked away from and ignored," Powell told the Senate Budget Committee.


NOTE: Powell was this apparent lie to the Senate Budget Committee, who have been stalling funding for Totalitarian Information Awareness or whatever its branded as.

This seems a grave tactical error as people are no longer swallowing the bs with plagerised dossiers and unsubstantiated claims made daily by the warmongers.

We all know they´re just out for the Iraqi oil (and the North Korean rice).

...Mr. Powell-How many does the U.S. have now? Several thousand? Several tens of thousands? Will we ever know? Is anyone inspecting America for WMD development programmes?

We have to believe one side absolutely. 'You're either with us or against us' right?

Of course saddam's a lying despot, but when US/UK's reasons for war get more tenuous by the day there no reason to blindly trust them either.

The tape even condemned Saddam's Ba'ath party as infidels, in the same terms bin Laden condemns the west. A clear link!

I'm against war, so I guess that makes me a terrorist.

France, Germany, Belgium & Russia have the ridulculous idea to represent their people (albeit for their own political/financial ends) and the 'Democratic' US compares France and Germany to Cuba and Libya. So there you have it: Disagree with America, join the axis of imminent destruction.
