Many of his links to intenational terrorism are well documented. For example take the [Mojahedin-e-Khalq](http://irrationallyinformed.blogspot.com/2005/06/sazeman-e-mojahedin-e-khalq-e-iran.html) Hussein funded them, supplied them with weapons, helped them establish bases, and even used them against the Kurds (putting down that rebellion in way that’s recently become so fashionable to be outraged about). Ye we hear nary a word from TeamBush about these folks when they mention Hussein and terrorism.  
Why do you suppose that is?  
Because they are “Good Terrorists.” And members of Team Bush aare all footsie with them helping them raise funds etc.  
Some folks across the bridge, inside the beltway want to take over Hussein’s sponsorship of his terrorist organization.

I kinda thought the **OP** did. Or was trying to build a case for it.
