What would be hysterical would be to release the 8 Saddam Doubles loose in various spots in Iraq. Save one for NY.

I doubt they have any DNA matching done yet - that takes time. But once you put in somebody's mind that the whole thing is staged, they will fail to believe any "proof", claiming that was faked also.

Saw a thread about this earlier this morning. I'm glad to see that now someone's mentioned on TV.

I don't think any of us here at FR are surprised by this bit of news, are we? hehe! My hope is that this document turns out to be the real deal, not some fabrication.

Of course, if it does turn out to be real, we'll have to get a LOT of cheese to go with the RATs' whiiiiiiiiine. LOL!!

Saddam had ordered Atta training

Daschle said there's no connection
between Saddam Hussein and nine-eleven.

Next they'll say WMDs were moved to
Syria and Iran while Daschle stalled.

**Atta, who was trained by Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal, visited Baghdad just weeks before the terror attack, **

If this is true, then Bush is right again!

When is the mainstream media going to pick this up?

Uh, I don't know about you, but to me this story sounds like a bunch of BS. Maybe the mainstream media is waiting to see the papers verified as authentic by US authorities. It sure is convenient, them coming up with a paper when no other evidence of Atta visiting Baghdad. It's too pat, too much like "look at this proof we just found"! This sounds like another forgery bought by an over-eager journalist.

How about this:

"However, the tantalising detail provided in the intelligence document uncovered by Iraq's interim government suggests that Atta's involvement with Iraqi intelligence may well have been far deeper than has hitherto been acknowledged.

"Written in the neat, precise hand of Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti, the former head of the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) and one of the few named in the US government's pack of cards of most-wanted Iraqis not to have been apprehended, the personal memo to Saddam is signed by Habbush in distinctive green ink.

"Headed simply "Intelligence Items", and dated July 1, 2001, it is addressed: "To the President of the Ba'ath Revolution Party and President of the Republic, may God protect you."

"The first paragraph states that 'Mohammed Atta, an Egyptian national, came with Abu Ammer (an Arabic nom-de-guerre - his real identity is unknown) and we hosted him in Abu Nidal's house at al-Dora under our direct supervision.

" 'We arranged a work programme for him for three days with a team dedicated to working with him . . . He displayed extraordinary effort and showed a firm commitment to lead the team which will be responsible for attacking the targets that we have agreed to destroy.'"

If a private communicaton between Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti and Saddaam Hussein dated July 1, 2001, regarding Mohammad Atta and the commitment he had made for "attacking the targets that we have agreed to destroy." cannot convince someone that there is a direct connection between Saddam Hussein and the events of September 11, 2003, then that someone must be Howard Dean or Cynthia McKinney.

Any reasonably intelligent person would ask if Mohammad Atta had attacked any targets other than the World Trade Center or Pentagon between July 1, 2001 and September 11, 2001, because he certainly could not have had any expectation of doing so AFTER September 11. The attacks of September 11, 2001 were the only attacks directed and coordinated by Mohammad Atta in the period in question.

The inescapable conclusion is that the targets referenced in this memo wer the ones in fact destroyed by the team led by Mohammad Atta. And if one gives credence to the memorandum at all, these targets were "agreed" to be destroyed by Saddam Hussein.

What is described here is no mere "link"; it looks more to me like a chain of cammand.

The Democrats that have been moronically chanting the mantra "No link between Iraq and Al Qaida" and "No link between Iraq and 9-11", ought now to commit public seppaku out of respect to the shame they have brought on themselves and their nation.

But, never mind, they won't do it. At the very least, though, they ought to have the decency to change the name of their party to "The Idiot Party" as a clarification for the least intelligent among us.

I don't know about the other two.

Whenever, JAMES WOOLSEY, makes a statement like this, you can bank on his credibility.

.

WOOLSEY, MYLROIE and IJAZ have been working in tandem on this ever since the Attacks of September 11, 2001...

...blaming State Sponsored Terrorism from Iraq for both World Trade Center Attacks.

...And BUSH has been listening Big Time.

‘‘We are uncovering evidence all the time of Saddam’s involvement with Al Qaeda,’’ Allawi said. ‘‘But this is the most compelling piece of evidence that we have found so far. It shows that not only did Saddam have contacts with Al Qaeda, he had contact with those responsible for the September 11 attacks.’’

Yup.
And Daschle will still say treasonous crap in defense of the enemy.
Instead of making the fight against terrorists a sure bet and making it their own position, the Dems made it their mission to try and make it a failure.
Their actions have emboldened the enemy, and the left sees the enemy as their chance to regain power.
They'd have had a better chance of regaining power by supporting the war and by making it their own position.
It would have been a POSITIVE message rather than the negative depresson zone they now offer.

Good thing the left isn't that smart.
