Among the enduring myths of those who oppose the war is that Saddam, though murderous when it came to his own people, had no weapons of mass destruction and no terrorist designs outside his own country. Both claims now lie in tatters.Cooper . . Cooper . . Cooper?
As we've reported several times, a number of former top military officials in Saddam's regime have come forward to admit that, yes, Saddam had WMD, hid them and shipped them out of the country so they couldn't be detected. And he had plans to make more.
Even as the media studiously avoid these new documents — just as they avoided 500 hours of Saddam's personal tapes showing his scheming on WMD — it's clear the U.S. did the right thing in invading Iraq and taking out a formative terrorist threat.
Saddam had close ties to al-Qaida. That's not just our opinion, but also that of the 9-11 Commission Report that so many in the media have selectively cited to bolster the case against the war. As Chairman Thomas Kean said the day the report was released: "There was no question in our minds that there was a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida."

This story is "missing" because it's a shill piece.
Just about every other conceivable source has proven that there were no WMDs, nor were there active programs to create them, nor were there contacts between Saddam and Al Qaeda; the two are known to have actually hated each other...
But one piece of paper shows up and is reported on by the Investors Business Daily, by an uncredited author... and we're supposed to buy it?
Who you working for OB?? ;-)
Yes, one must know who's doing the talking, right?
Summary
William O'Neil + Co. Incorporated, founded in 1963 as an investment management and brokerage firm, is today a national investment information company. The firm provides securities research, equity investment ideas and trading services to more than 550 major institutional clients (pension and mutual funds, banks, insurance companies and corporations) in the United States, Europe and Australia.
William J. O'Neil's Background
Born in Oklahoma and raised in Texas, William O'Neil began his career as a stockbroker with Hayden, Stone & Company where he started to formulate his comprehensive investment strategies. His fascination with the securities market led him to develop his own computerized study of what makes a stock successful. This study was adapted and published as The Model Book Of Greatest Stock Market Winners, and was the basis for his CAN SLIM™ discipline.
After a 20-fold increase in his own account in 26 months, Mr. O'Neil bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and formed William O'Neil + Co. Inc. in 1963. Since then, the CAN SLIM™ discipline led to the development of many important investment research tools.
Realizing the need to deliver his time-sensitive research publications ahead of the competition, in 1973 Mr. O'Neil founded O'Neil Data Systems, Inc. In addition to providing high-speed printing facilities, ODS pioneered the field of database publishing using state-of-the-art computer technology. Today, ODS specializes in producing time-sensitive publications for many companies in a variety of fields. It is listed as one of Printing Impressions' top 500 companies in the United States.
In 1984 William O'Neil designed and launched Investor's Business Daily®, the first national business newspaper to compete successfully with, and gain market share from, the 100-year old industry legend, The Wall Street Journal. In a modern-day David and Goliath story, Mr. O'Neil used his years of experience in economic and business research and his massive historical database to fill a daily information gap that existed for the individual investor and business community.
Mr. O'Neil's latest book, How To Make Money In Stocks - A Winning System In Good Times Or Bad, published by McGraw-Hill and now in its third revised edition, was the best-selling investment book of 1988. Mr O'Neil is also the author of the bestseller 24 Essential Lessons For Investment Success .
To date, he continues to conduct lectures across the country to sold-out audiences of institutional and individual investors on his strategies for identifying winning stocks and minimizing losses.
