Saddam started Al Qaeda? You have got to be kidding me. Al Qaeda is an extremest Muslim terrorist organization that justifies its actions with its religious beliefs. Saddam is about as good of a Muslim as I am. Sure he uses Islamic rhetoric to get people to act a certain way, but he has been known to throw people in jail for "praying too much." The ideology of the Ba'ath party is as far away from that of Al Qaeda as possible.
While I agree and see your point... I don't trust saddam nor what he tells anyone.
I really dont' have any more info than what I see on tv and papers. If I was there and had inside info I might be able to 100% confirm or deny it, but I do not. I see it on tv they say they have proof of him starting al queda... eh, take it with a grain of salt... but to me it sounds more real and believable when multiple stations report same/similar.
So.... am I right? maybe. I'm mostly just repeating what the tv tells me.
