05/26/2003 Archived Entry: "Syrian President Doubts Al Qaeda Exists"

FRANKLY I'M SHOCKED THIS LEVEL OF STUPIDITY EVEN EXISTS: Syrian dictator...err, sorry...president Bashar Assad said in an interview published Sunday that he just plum doesn't believe that al-Qaida exists.

"Is there really an entity called Al Qaeda? Was it in Afghanistan? Does it exist now?" Assad asked, according to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anba.

Usama bin Laden, the Saudi-born Islamic extremist who heads Al Qaeda, "cannot talk on the phone or use the Internet, but he can direct communications to the four corners of the world?" Assad said. "This is illogical."

Everyone knows it was those four Jews with the white minivan taking pictures of the World Trade Centre just before the attacks....right Bashar?
