CAIRO - The regime of Saddam Hussain rejected repeated requests from Jordan to hand over Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who now heads Al Qaeda in Iraq, the Jordanian king said in an interview published on Thursday.

King Abdullah II told the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat that Jordan exerted â??big effortsâ? with Saddamâ??s government to extradite al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian sentenced to death at home for terrorist activities.

â??But our demands that the former regime hand him over were in vain,â? Abdullah said.

â??We had information that he entered Iraq from a neighboring country, where he lived and what he was doing. We informed the Iraqi authorities about all this detailed information we had, but they didnâ??t respond,â? the king said.

There was a connection not to mention the various other reasons mentioned earlier for invasion. As for the Saudi's.....Osama is too, what's the point? The Saudi government sure doesn't want the assclowns there.

Please, show me where he said it.
Paul, who is more of a libertarian than a Republican, was trying to offer some perspective on the pitfalls of an interventionist policy by the American government in the affairs of the Middle East and other countries.

"Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years," he said.

"You Say Potato - I Say Potahtoe".......fact is he said MORE than enough! If that's not stating that we deserved a kick, it makes me wonder just how specific it has to be.

Have a good one!:s4:
