heh, heh... I thought it was North Korea, working with the Chinese.

"The Third Terrorist" is definitely on my reading list. I'm working on "The Connection" now.

I am going to order that book; glad you reminded me.

You won't be sorry you spent time reading The Third Terrorist; it's unputdownable (after the first chapter which is rather slow but for a purpose).

"Do ya think Michael Moore will be "deeply saddened" ??"

No. He'll eat more, poor blanched and fattened soul. He will be Deeply Fattened.

It's Ahmed Hikmat Shakir. The fact that this easy-to-find piece of info escaped the Commission shows how completely inept they are. Shakir was present at the Kuala Lumpur strategy meeting in January of 2000. He was (is?) a Lt.Colonel in Saddam's IIS.

BUY "Connections" by Stephen Hayes, it's excellent. Don't bother to look for it at Borders.

This can't be true. The NY Times and USA Today said there was no link. I am expecting a retraction in tomorrows headline.

Move along nothing to see.

If I were Saddam I'd be singing like a canary right now with a deal on the table that he'll talk if we can persuade the Iraqi Interim Goverment to keep from letting him swing in the town square.

You know what? If I were "the gubment" I'd promise Saddam anything and everything he wanted in exchange for information. Saddam never honored his word in the decade we dealt with the sombitch, so we need to give him a dose of his own. I'd be PROUD to NOT HONOR MY WORD to the s.o.b.! Turn about is fair play, especially in times of war.

You don't suppose the stupid frat boy Bush has just outsmarted them once again, do you? You don't think he was playing a little Texas Holdem with the RATS, do you?

The Dims just don't know how to play Texas Hold 'em against President Bush.

Keep up your data collection so the tipping point ends up in our favor.

Lehman is a good man. I wonder if he saw all of these lies and spins about to break out and discussed this in private with GW, Rummy or Powell.

So as usual GW let the libs play the dope on the rope trick and let them shoot their wads in these lies released last week.

Now the realities of the links between al Qaeda, and the $oddomites appear to have starting to flow out, and the 9/11 committee can contain them anymore.

Rush, Hannity, Fox News and even some of the liberal news medias are getting the word out like the Putin word.

The left wing mediots have lost control and can't contain, spike and hide the realities of the linkage between al Qaeda and the $oddomites any more.

Cap Huff, “GWB has been calm and self-confident in recent weeks, when a lot of people in this forum have been panicky”

--Boot Hill: "I concur, his demeanor reminds me of quarterback Joe Montana at the two minute warning. I'll stick with a proven winner."

Great analogy!

Yes. I was, fortunately, wrong.

I truly thought that Bush was NOT going to fight back. He took it a long time and I'm still not certain it was the correct strategy.

BUT, the people who said he was pulling a rope a dope were correct and I was, happily, wrong.

No sign yet of a transcript of Kerry's comments two years ago about the connections between Saddam/OBL. I'd like to write a letter to the editor but it will have more impact if I have an exact quote or two and dates. If you see it, could you try to remember to ping me? Thanks.

This is how GW works and does his thing.

He refuses to get into the gutter to wrestle with the vermin rats.

He refuses to walk on the stage the liberals have built with a noose in the center of the stage and stick his head in the noose.

Keep up your good work and watch GW unfold this latest counter to the lies/spin of the left.

Keep an eye on this one. It was reported by Wall Street Journal a few weeks ago that these documents were uncovered by our military in Iraq and were pending verification of the Al-Qaeda operative's ID. Looks like that verification may be forthcoming. :-)

That is a quality of leadership that is ultimately God given, but also nurtured, tested, and strengthened over time. Why a larger percentage of people don't see it is a mystery to me.

I can't subscribe to every decision GWB has taken in his tenure, but here is where character really counts. I trust that even in his "bad" decisions, there were good reasons for making them. I suspect that even he himself is critical of some decisions he has made.

This commission is just finding out about this when all of us here had this information weeks ago? Incompetence.

You are exactly right. Character means that people say, "if he says there was danger, there must have been danger". Trust in a leader is essential.

Yep, but what is news about this is the White House confirming it and sending the evidence to the 911 commission for consideration in their final report.

Yeah, they don't search for the truth very hard, do they?
