Saddam and Islamic Fascism

Stephen F. Hayes from The Weekly Standard has heroically chronicled the connections between the former tyrant and militant Islamic groups, an axis which everyone knows never existed

The official continued: "[Saddam] used these groups because he was interested in extending his influence and extending the influence of Iraq. There are definite and absolute ties to terrorism. The evidence is there, especially at the network level. How high up in the government was it sanctioned? I can't tell you. I don't know whether it was run by Qusay [Hussein] or [Izzat Ibrahim] al-Duri or someone else. I'm just not sure. But to say Iraq wasn't involved in terrorism is flat wrong."
