Iraqi intelligence documents seized by US forces and released by an administration bureaucrat serve to validity the Bush administration's claim of Saddam's involvement in terrorism.

This subject has been hotly debated over the course of the war and before, and the Kerry campaign has politicized the issue. Back on May 27, Opinion Journal.com posted an article about the diligent record keeping of the Saddam regime and predicting the wealth of strategic information to come out of them. Now, on October 4th the Cybercast News Service posted an article detailing the information in these documents.

Interestingly enough, this story was published the day before a CIA report flatly stated "there's no conclusive evidence that the regime harbored Osama bin Laden associate Abu Musab al-Zarqawi."

The released documents tie Ssaddam to both al-Zarqawi, notorious for the bombings and beheadings in Iraq, and Ayman al-Zawahiri who is alleged to have helped mastermind the 9/11/01 attacks in the US.

Additionally, the documents show a plan by Saddam to reconstruct his WMD program as soon as the UN sanctions were lifted. Evidence of purchases of Anthrax and Mustard Gas are also there.

With what is now becoming evident about the corrupt UN "oil for food" program, there should be little doubt that Saddam was a threat to the US and the world, if not immediately at the time of the invasion by the US, he would have been soon had not the US taken action.

Independent experts have translated the documents and analyzed them, all coming to the same conclusion as to their authenticity. This would appear to be the smoking gun the Bush administration needs to prove their case for the war in Iraq.

So why haven't the Bush administration and the rest of the media brought this information to the public's attention? According to the CNS source as quoted by World magazine's Mindy Belz, "the documents have not been made public because Bush administration officials have "thousands and thousands" of similar documents waiting to be translated and "it is unlikely they even know this exists."

As for the media, in their complicity with the Kerry campaign to undercut and demonize the Bush administration, these documents would crumble the foundation of their argument. John Kerry's words that "the president's "two main rationales, weapons of mass destruction and the al-Qaida/Sept. 11 connection, have been proved false" would itself be proven false.

So what's the big problem, all Kerry has to do is flip again...or this time is it flop?
