Buttle’s World got a comment from a blogger who has a site dedicated to just documenting the connections between Saddam and international terror. Odd… They still haven’t run out of connections to find. And last I heard, Saddam has been out of office for a while.
Check out Regime of Terror.
His book is a best-seller… guess where. And guess what other book his is promoted with?
