The Pretender's Administration Once Again Selectively Ignores the Facts to Make Its Case


U.S.: Washington Says Alleged Bin Laden Tape Proves Iraq, Al-Qaeda Connection


Washington is pointing to a new audiotape in which Osama bin Laden purportedly urges Muslims to defend Iraq against any U.S. attack as proof that Baghdad and Al-Qaeda are connected. But the tape, broadcast on an Arabic television news channel yesterday, also criticizes Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, making the American case to tie Al-Qaeda and Iraq more problematic.


Erik says: Colin Powell, to whom this declaration is attributed, is usually better about getting all of the facts together-- not just the ones that serve the agenda. Minus two points.
