First, here's Feith on today's Fox News Sunday:

Nobody in my office ever said there was an operational relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda. It's just not correct. I mean, words matter.

And here is part of a Weekly Standard (

Quote:
OSAMA BIN LADEN and Saddam Hussein had an operational relationship from the early 1990s to 2003 that involved training in explosives and weapons of mass destruction, logistical support for terrorist attacks, al Qaeda training camps and safe haven in Iraq, and Iraqi financial support for al Qaeda--perhaps even for Mohamed Atta--according to a top secret U.S. government memorandum obtained by THE WEEKLY STANDARD.
The memo, dated October 27, 2003, was sent from Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas J. Feith to Senators Pat Roberts and Jay Rockefeller, the chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

I can't believe we have people of Feith's caliber wielding so much power. And now these clowns want to pick a fight with Iran. If we can hang on until January 20, 2009, we'll probably be OK, but it's a shame that 2008 is a leap year. It gives them one extra day.
