Time and time again, we’re told that there were no connections between Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and al Qaeda, and that any such claims are merely Bush Administration fabrications. However, two years before President Bush took office, CNN reported:

Osama bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire accused by the United States of plotting bomb attacks on two U.S. embassies in Africa, has left Afghanistan, Afghan sources said Saturday.

Bin Laden’s whereabouts were not known, said the sources who declined to be identified.

[...]

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.

Saddam offered asylum to Osama? And Osama openly supports Iraq? That can’t be right, at least not according to the official mantra that the establishment media has been repeating for the last five years.

So what explains this find? The only logical explanation is that President Bush traveled back in time and brainwashed the reporter, or that Karl Rove has been hacking into CNN’s computer system. Either way, it’s all part of the conspiracy!
