Bush was right.

Kerry beware! Time to shut up and concede!

[nuffsenuff]

Only one problem. NO ONE is going to hear about this since the major news outlets aren't going to cover it.

Actually any person in their right mind would have known that Iraq and al Qaeda were soul brothers from day one! This great United States of ours is going to pay a hefty price in lives because it is listening to the likes of John Kerry and the "traitor" Democrat Party.

I hope this gets more press coverage than the Sarin Gas bombs did. ABC communist radio news; the most biased, seditious reporting I know of on the airwaves belittled and downplayed the sarin gas story.

Yesterday on NPR, a commentator was mocking the Homeland Security warnings about suicide bombers and still speaking with the premise that there were no WMD in Iraq.

It's a well-known fact that Saddam was paying money to the families of deceased palestinian suicide bombers!

One thing we've learned about Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein is that the former dictator was a diligent record keeper.

So were the Nazis; but just like some lunatics argue that exhaustive Nazi records of genocide should be dismissed, there will be lunatics who argue that Saddam's records should be dismissed. I hope they enjoy the company they've chosen.

IMPOSSIBLE! Tom Brokaw hisself has told me many times that there is no proven connection betwixt Iraq and Al-Qaida!

Unless TV has been lying to me...

"It is an article of faith among war opponents that there were no links whatsoever--that "secular" Saddam and fundamentalist Islamic terrorists didn't mix.

Saddam had the Quaran written in his own blood. He identified with an early Muslim war lord that he was said to be the reincarnation of. He sure fooled a lot of Iraqis that he was "secular" and the Arab Street.

Also the American-left really loved him because he was a socialist dictator that the lefties glorify under any circumstances!!

Shakir was present at the January 2000 al Qaeda "summit" in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at which the 9/11 attacks were planned. The U.S. has never been sure whether he was there on behalf of the Iraqi regime or whether he was an Iraqi Islamicist who hooked up with al Qaeda on his own.

Neither - he was recruiting for Moveon.org

There was a link between Saddam and some of the feyadeen as far back as 1990-1991 , according to "Shadow Warriors" by Tom Clancey and Carl Stiner. (This book was published before 9/11.)

Book Marked

[giotto]

One of the mysteries of postwar Iraq is why the Bush Administration and our $40-billion-a-year intelligence services haven't devoted more resources to probing the links between Saddam's regime and al Qaeda.

Let's hope the Bush Administration knows a lot more about this link than they have publicly disclosed.

I'll bet the willfully ignorant Dan Rather will scan this and not comprehend it.

"Ahmed Hikmat Shakir"

Memorize the name. Ask your liberal friends what they know about him.

[cookcounty]

The left will only believe Iraq was involved in 9/11 if they see evidence that Saddam himself was on the flight deck of Flight 11. Anything less will be disregarded as "rogue and disaffected elements of the Iraqi regime ."

[Simon666]

On October 21, 2001, Shakir flew from Doha to Amman, Jordan, and was arrested by Jordanian authorities. The CIA even interrogated him. Does anybody here actually think if he really had anything to do with 9-11, they would have let him go? Don't be naive, it's not like it is a major find.

That's amazing in Europen Edition of WSJ that article is missing. Instead readers have to read : "An Oil Crisis Made in USA"
