Saddam Knew 9/11 Was Coming and Colluded with OBL for a Decade
Various | April 30, 2004 | Vanity

Posted on 04/30/2004 10:23:00 AM PDT by Peach

In an effort to put in one place all the reasons why I/we think that Saddam Hussein worked actively with Osama Bin Laden, I am starting a thread which can be saved and added to over time.

We know Saddam worked with the PLO and other terrorists, he funded them. He at LEAST knew that 9/11 was coming.

less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)

In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”

The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden “will strike America on the arm that is already hurting,” and that the US “will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs” – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, “New York, New York”.

It's so interesting watching the leftists deny that which they once wrote about.

We know Saddam worked with the PLO and other terrorists, he funded them. He at LEAST knew that 9/11 was coming.

Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)

In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”

This thread is what makes this forum essential and needed, not threads about how ugly Chelsea Clinton is, or who's the likely winner on American Idol.

Thanks for the hard work.

I have a few Jayna Davis links in "the list".

I'm not sure if I have the OKC link specifically there or not. So many people think the OKC link is tinfoil I may have avoided it.

Anyone who has followed that story or read Jayna Davis's book The Third Terrorist will come away convinced that Iraq was behind that matter as well.

The book is a must read and the former CIA Director James Woolsey said someday the truth about the OKC bombing would be known and the world would owe Jayna Davis a debt of gratitude. He and others in the CIA are convinced of an Iraq connection to that bombing.
