Al Qaeda militants are in the ranks of Saddam Hussein loyalists

It is good to see the site back up. Looks great.

Interesting news today.

“The Saudi-owned al-Majalla weekly also reports in its latest edition that Al Qaeda militants are in the ranks of Saddam Hussein loyalists who are attacking U.S.-led forces in Iraq.”

And more news here.

Tony Blair today made an angry but opaque denial of accusations that Downing Street asked for a dossier on Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction to be "sexed up".

Blair also says;

"When you say there is no evidence that weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq, there are 12 years of United Nations resolutions about the weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq. There's no doubt about the chemical programme, the biological programme, indeed the nuclear weapons programme.
"All that is well documented by the UN.
"Our priority, having got rid of Saddam, is to rebuild the country, so the focus at the moment is on the humanitarian and the political reconstruction of the country.
"The threat of weapons of mass destruction, obviously with Saddam out, is not immediate any more. We have only just begun the process now of investigating the various sites.
"We have found two trailers, both of which we believe were used to produce biological and chemical weapons.
"You have just got to have a little bit of patience. I have absolutely no doubt at all when we produce the further evidence, that evidence will be found and I have absolutely no doubt it exists because Saddam's history of weapons of mass destruction is not some invention of the British security services.
"It has been well documented over 12 years of lies and deception from Saddam."
