Well, this should be good. LVRJ: Mansoor Ijaz says he is considering testing his wings against none other than Majority Leader Reid. An American Muslim of Pakistani heritage, Ijaz is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Virginia. At 46, he's the founder and president of the Crescent Investment Group of New York, which sports former CIA Director James Woolsey, Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson, and Gen. James L. Jones as members of its advisory board.

Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize Sudan offered up the terrorist and data on his network. The then-president and his advisors didn't respond.By MANSOOR IJAZ President Clinton and his national security team ignored several opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist associates, including one as late as last year. I know because I negotiated more than one of the opportunities. From 1996 to 1998, I opened unofficial channels between Sudan and the Clinton administration. I met with officials in both countries, including Clinton, U.S. National Security Advisor Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger and Sudan's president and...

ANOTHER WEEK, another Muslim country burns in rage over months-old Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in an unflattering light. On Friday it was Libya, and earlier in the week it was my father's homeland, Pakistan, where violent protests were scattered across the nation. Some Muslims have decided that burning cities in defense of a prophet's teachings, which none of them seem willing to practice, is preferable to participating in rational debate about the myths and realities of a religion whose worst enemies are increasingly its own adherents. This week's events should compel those of us...

On February 1, an emergency session of the International Atomic Energy Agency is being convened to discuss potential solutions for how the world should deal with Iran's nuclear mischief. Referring Iran to the United Nations for possible economic and other sanctions now appears certain to be the punitive measure of choice. But neither an IAEA referral, nor U.N. economic, military, or political sanctions, nor Russia's joint uranium-enrichment offer, nor threats of Israeli air raids against Iran's nuclear installations will change the mindset and determination of a regime intent on holding the world hostage to its nuclear blackmail through delay, obfuscation...

Financial Times Op-Ed Published: July 11 London Moderate Muslims must banish the enemy within By Mansoor Ijaz The trust that binds citizens of free societies together was violated last week when suspected Islamist terrorists set off a wave of bombs at the height of London’s morning rush hour, killing at least 52 people and injuring 700. The latest tragedy is the 17th ­bombing carried out by al-Qaeda’s ­franchisees since the September 11 2001 attacks on the US. Its deft planning and execution indicates that al-Qaeda continues to function efficiently. For the perpetrators of London’s attacks to escape the notice of...

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is in New Delhi today to attend an India-Pakistan cricket match. Weightier matters, however, have been on his agenda since arriving in the Indian capital -- moving the peace process forward over Kashmir's future chief among them. Making Kashmir's embattled residents central to the search for peace is the best route toward a durable solution to an issue that three times has embroiled these nuclear powers in war. There has been a series of transformational events in South Asia in the last month in the run-up to Mr. Musharraf's cricket tour that makes peace genuinely attainable....

We did it... We protested churchill. There was a collection of pro-Churchill moonbats that showed up, and we protested them as well.

TROUBLE SPEAK Ward Churchill copied 'original' art piece Takes a swing at TV reporter who confronted him -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 26, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Professor Ward Churchill Adding to a growing list of allegations, controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill appears to have violated copyright law by claiming a reknowned artist's work as his own. Churchill, whose integrity has been challenged since news broke earlier last month of his paper blaming victims of 9-11 for the attacks, made an Indian-theme serigraph in 1981 called "Winter Attack" and printed 150 copies. But one of the buyers,...

Ward Hill as a member of the schismatic Boulder/Denver branch of AIM [American Indian Movement] as spent his whole life trashing the FBI and police. Here is what he said in his "Roosting Chickens" article. He is an anarchist who publishes his books through anarchist publishers. He wants to trash our law enforcement and intelligence organizations so that we will be destroyed. He doesn't want to make them better. He want the USA off the planet. He has often depicted the FBI and CIA as terrorist organizations.

Ward Churchill is the professor from Colorado University who called the dead in the World Trade Center "Nazis" and also said that the US deserved 9/11, and that we should have not fought back. Prof Churchill may get fired from the University of Colorado-Bolder He may appear on March 1st, time pending, if the administration approves of it.

In his FrontPage Magazine article Andrew Alexander’s Lies About the Cold War, Jamie Glazov speaks of the Soviet regime’s aggressive and expansionist designs against the West in the post-WWII period, and how de-classified Soviet sources prove that they had extensively infiltrated their agents into Western society. "...the Venona transcripts are thousands of Soviet intelligence messages that were intercepted and decoded over four decades by the FBI and the NSA (National Security Agency). Released over the past few years, these files prove that there was a large-scale Communist penetration of the U.S. government, and that Communist spies passed on valuable information...

Per Heartland with John Kasich....on foxnews. Mansoor says that the idea that Osama Bin Laden is in Waziristan was propaganda by the liberal media. He also believes that now that the US election is over..there will be much less pressure on the Pakistani President to try and find Bin laden. "Bin laden has been able to move this ease," said Mansoor. Kasich: This guy's making video's and we can't find the guy? Can you imagine putting a nuclear weapon next to a guy named Bin Laden? Mansoor: The real nexus of terror is that the Iranians have taken a strategic...

I am just sitting here in my jammies and the thought crossed my mind as to whether anyone has seen Monsoor Ijaz on FOX recently? Am I spending too much time at FR or has Monsoor simply disappeared?

On this third anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we have much more to be thankful for than some of our political leaders would have us believe. Islamist terrorism's global scourge has been unable to launch anything more than verbal tirades at America. And while the jihadists have won successes in lesser form — the train bombings in Spain that unseated a government, hostage-taking dramas in Iraq that forced minor players from the global antiterror team, and Iran's successful effort to sow divisiveness in the West about its nuclear ambitions while harboring much of al Qaeda's senior...

Has anybody heard anything about or from Mansoor Ijaz recently? He is the American born businessman of Pakastani heritage that was a pundit on Fox and other stations at the beginning of the war on terror? He had supported and worked closely with the Billary administration, but was very critical of them after 9/11. I respected his opinions and would like to know what his current take on the situation is.

ISTANBUL MY FATHER, Dr. Mujaddid Ahmed Ijaz, was an early pioneer in Pakistan's "Atoms for Peace" cooperative nuclear program with the US during the late 1960s. One of the most vivid memories I have of him was the stream of tears flowing down his cheeks as our Pakistan International Airlines Boeing 707 took off from Karachi Airport in the winter of 1972. It would be our last visit to Pakistan as children. I returned to Islamabad in the summer of 1992, the year my father died, to receive the condolences of his colleagues, former students, and friends at Pakistan's key...

NewsMax had the opportunity to ask a few questions of Monsoor Ijaz, Middle East Expert, Fox News contributor and member of the Crescent Group: NM: Is there is a war of succession on in Saudi Arabia, and what is the danger to the oil industry/its workers? Ijaz: There is a war of succession going on inside the ruling family, but that has very little to do with terrorist influences. No Saudi with responsibility for the affairs of state at any level could rationally support the instigation of or support for terrorist acts that would benefit one side of the succession...

Osama bin Laden sealed Saddam Hussein's fate last Tuesday when, in a Messianic rendering of his latest fatwa against Americans, he admitted a "convergence of interests" with Iraq and renewed his threat to bring down traitorous Arab governments across the region. His call to set aside differences with Saddam's "socialist" movement strengthened perceptions that he views Baghdad's strongman as little more than a potentate of one al Qaeda's global villages, otherwise known as the Muslim Ummah.   In a sense, it was his version of George W. Bush's "you're either with us, or with the terrorists" call to arms....

Anyone have updated info. as to his testimony today?

Mansoor Ijaz will be testifying before the 9-11 Commission on May 7th. The Commission is keeping his testimony "Private". We need to have this testimony made "Public", so the American people can hear the truth. I urge all "Freepers" to send an e mail to the 9-11 Commission, telling them to make the testimony PUBLIC!! The e mail address is : info@9-11commission.gov

When the Clinton administration decided to turn down Sudan's offer to have Osama bin Laden arrested and extradited to the U.S., it already knew that the notorious 9/11 mastermind was behind the Black Hawk Down attack in Somalia in 1993, an upcoming 9/11 Commission witness is prepared to testify. According to Mansoor Ijaz, who served as a diplomatic troubleshooter for President Clinton in the late 1990s, bin Laden was offered by Sudanese Defense Minister Elfatih Erwa during a meeting with the CIA's Africa Bureau chief in a Virginia hotel room in March 1996. Instead of accepting the offer, however, Clinton...

Please forgive the vanity, but I've done a search and cannot find any reference to this. I saw Monsoor Ijaz on FNC an hour or so ago, and he said that he has been asked to testify before the 9/11 commission. He appeared to be anxious to do so. If this has been posted elsewhere, I'll ask the mod to take this down.

Thursday Jan. 30, 2003; 11:24 a.m. EST Laurie Mylroie: Clintonized CIA Blocks Iraq-9/11 Evidence The CIA is blocking critical intelligence that links Saddam Hussein to the 9/11 attacks, a former top terrorism adviser to ex-President Bill Clinton contends, and by doing so, she says, the agency is weakening President Bush's case for war against Iraq. Asked about Salman Pak, the terrorist training camp near Baghdad where, according to a number of Iraqi defectors, al-Qaeda terrorists have practiced for years hijacking American airliners using the same methods employed on 9/11, Clinton Iraqi expert Laurie Mylroie told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg: "There's...

Richard Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism czar in four successive administrations, testifies in front of the 9/11 Commission on Wednesday. But what should have been a serious inquiry into how a loosely knit gang of Islamic fanatics could rise to become one of history's most lethal and effective global terrorist organizations now promises to become a political spectacle. At the height of the presidential campaign season, Clarke has made irresponsible and untrue allegations that the Bush White House was indifferent to the threat posed by al Qaeda in the months leading up to the 9/11 attacks. Whether his charges...

<p>LONDON. — Richard Clarke, former White House counterterrorism czar for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, testifies today before the commission investigating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States. He is well-qualified to do so because few individuals over the last decade, inside or outside government, better understood the Islamic extremism threat in all its dimensions.</p>

Clinton administration diplomatic troubleshooter Mansoor Ijaz charged Monday that one-time White House terrorism czar Richard Clarke blocked his efforts to have Osama bin Laden extradited from the Sudan to the United States five years before the 9/11 attacks. "I was personally asked to brief Condoleezza Rice's deputy national security adviser, Stephen Hadley, on exactly what had gone wrong in the previous efforts to get bin Laden out of the Sudan, to get the terrorism data out of the Sudan," Ijaz told Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends." "In each case of things that were involved in the Clinton administration, Richard...

Did you just see what I saw ?!!

Condi Rice was just interviewed on Fox'N Friends and she did a slam-dunk on Richard Clarke. She properly noted that he had been Counter-Terrorism Czar for a number of years in the Clinton Administration and had plenty of opportunity to develop strategies to confront Al Qaeda which he (and that Administration) never pursued. She acknowledged that Clarke had a number of "ideas" about confronting and combatting terrorism -- many of which the Bush Administration adopted. But they were a set of "ideas" not a comprehensive strategy which President Bush was looking for. Typical Condi performance: flawless.

Mansoor Ijaz just called Richard Clarke essentially a liar. Challenged virtually all of his claims -- and accused Clarke of stonewalling Ijaz's efforts to capture Bin Laden via the Sudanese.

<p>ABDUL QADEER KHAN, NUCLEAR SCIENTIST, PAKISTAN: It pains me to realize in retrospect, that my entire lifetime achievement of providing foolproof national security to my nation, could have been placed in serious jeopardy on account of my activities, which were based in good faith, but on errors of judgment, related to unauthorized proliferation activities.</p>

Mansoor Ijaz On The Brit Hume Show (Fox News)Please help me fill-in the discussion with Mansoor Ijaz and Brit Hume about the spread of nuclear weapons. Mansoor said that at least 3 other countries beside Libya, Iran and N. Korea have nuclear technology from Pakistan and 'maybe' 2 others. He seemed to confirm that the terrorist have 'dirty bombs' and are anxious to use them now that the US is aware of them.

Plans for a spectacular attack on coalition forces in Iraq that would use chemical or biological weapons to kill up to 5,000 soldiers and civilians may be well underway, Fox News Mideast analyst Mansoor Ijaz is warning. "I have now heard three times in the last week, from separate sources that I have been talking to, that something big is being planned for Baghdad," Ijaz told Fox News "Special Report" host Brit Hume on Tuesday. "The idea that is being put forward is to kill as many as 3,000 to 5,000 people at one shot; something that would be similar...

<p>This is a partial transcript of Special Report with Brit Hume, Jan. 13, that has been edited for clarity.</p> <p>BRIT HUME, HOST: The administration is not saying anything about this, and it is not even clear officials know anything about it. But some sources in Iraq are talking about a development that could prove an important turn in the search for weapons of mass destruction. For more on this we turn to the man who so often seems to know things before everybody else.</p>

Mansoor Ijaz just reported on Foxnews Brit Hume show that anywhere from 6 to 29 tanker trucks carrying warheads tipped with chemical weapons crossed the border from Iran into Iraq. He said that Kurdish Rebels intercepted the trucks, and interrogated the driver. The driver gave up the information from the Kurdish rebels. Mansoor also says that the Rebels were trying to sell the weapons back to Iran. Mansoor said that Iran is having domestic problems and that are gearing up towards a winter time "wag the dog" offensive. Expect to see a chemical weapons attack in Baghdad that kills 3000...

<p>During the runup to President Bush's current tour of Asia, Bill Clinton tried to steal some of his successor's thunder. At a conference last week, the former president defended his record on terrorism by claiming that he warned Mr. Bush about the danger of Osama bin Laden during the transition between administrations. "In his campaign, Bush had said he thought the biggest security issue was Iraq and a national missile defense," Mr. Clinton began, "I told him [in the exit interview] that, in my opinion, the biggest security problem was Osama bin Laden." Newly revealed facts cast doubt on how seriously Mr. Clinton himself took the al Qaeda threat.</p>

Mansoor Ijaz was on Greta's show, he gave a detailed analysis about some very disturbing accounts on the various sea lanes. He mentioned that the Straits of Mollucca, between Singapore, Indonesia, and Maylasia have always been a hotbed of piracy, but recent events have raised alarms. It seems like many ships have been hijacked in the last few months by Islamic radicals but rather than stealing the cargo or kidnapping the crews these terrorists have just wanted to know how to steer the big ships! He compared this to the 9/11 terrorists going to the various flight schools only wanting...

Former national security advisor Sandy Berger admitted for the first time on Sunday that the Clinton administration rejected the possibility of prosecuting Osama bin Laden in the United States after the government of Sudan agreed to expel him in 1996. Responding to ex-President Clinton's bombshell confession last year that he turned down a bid by Sudan for warmer relations that would have included the release bin Laden to the U.S., Berger confirmed to WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg, "We pushed the Sudanese government to break its links to terrorist groups, including bin Laden, [and to] expel them." The former national...

The unearthing of documents directly linking Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda organization to Saddam Hussein this weekend may have hermetically sealed the Bush administration's case that dismantling Iraq's Baathist enterprise was in part necessary to undo terrorism's dynamic duo. But closing that case may reopen a Pandora's box for ex-Clinton administration officials who still believe their policy prescriptions protected U.S. national interests against the growing threat of terrorism during the past decade. The London Telegraph's weekend revelations raise deeply disturbing questions about the extent and magnitude to which President Clinton, his national-security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, and senior terrorism...

One Muslim American's tough challenge to his community. NEW YORK – In the days leading up to the start of "Operation Iraqi Freedom," a Muslim American civil rights lobbying group, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) sent out a nine-page "Muslim Community Safety Kit" enunciating a series of largely ineffective steps for Arabs and Muslims living in the US to take if war backlash were to materialize against them. It wasn't the first time such knee-jerk civil rights lobbying had been done by a group purporting to represent America's Arabs and Muslims. But it should be the last. The...
