Re: Iraqi forces losing 'will to fight' against ISIS
That they were'the bitterest of enemies' might be somewhat stretching the reality of the situation. Saddam did not like them though. That is quite right. That was why the contacts that had in fact taken place did not mean alliance and the theme was let drop. You must remember that.
I am not going to look up the contacts for you, seeing that it is not very important, having not been named as casus belli.
Nonsense AQ and the Hussein regime were in fact the bitterest of enemies and never had any such ties. These stories were fabrications
Given no evidence of such contacts has ever emerged in the subsequent decade I think we can put these down to the Whitehouse disinformation machine
