So much that CNN reported in 1999 that Saddam Hussein offered asylum to bin Laden as pressure was being applied to flush the al Qaeda leader out of Afghanistan.
The remembrance of this news report will trouble the Fever Swamp wing of the Democratic Party not at all. Hussein probably just wanted to lure bin Laden into Iraq so that he could hate on him in some fashion or other.
And of course the fact that bin Laden did not take Hussein up on his offer just goes to prove that bin Laden couldn't stand Hussein.
That's the beauty of conspiracy theories. There's always a way to make them consistent with the facts.
Hat tip to Captain's Quarters.
