Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense (foreign military aggression), at a news conference, denies that former dictator Saddam Hussein, of Iraq, had anything to international terrorism; this is contrary to the position taken by Republican (socialist/fascist) de facto President George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes) that Hussein maintained numerous ties to the al-Qaida (Arabic for “the Base”) international terrorist network).
