Masked Iraqi insurgents keep position at a lookout in the flashpoint town of Fallujah, 50 kms west of Baghdad.

The commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States unveils a report on July 22, 2004 that points to 'deep institutional failings within our government' and details missed opportunities by both the Bush and Clinton administrations to thwart the hijackings, according to U.S. officials. A U.S. official who has reviewed the commission's final report said it would confirm there was no 'collaboration' between Iraq and al Qaeda, but list contacts between the two. Both towers of the World Trade Center burn after being hit by two airplanes in New York September 11, 2001.
Osama: Hello Saddam, we are going to blow up some towers in NYC. Would you like to help?
Saddam: Gee Mr. Laden, I am a political leader in the World, and I cannot be involved in any way helping you overtly to cause havoc and chaos in America and the rest of the free world.
Osama: Well then perhaps you'd like to donate a few million dollars to our Brethren who are involved in the Intifidah in Israel thereby allowing us to use our financial resources for our big plan?
Sadaam: O.K. , but don't tell anyone, lets just keep this between us! We can't ever allow ourselves to be accused of collaboration.
U.S. Army troops arrest an Iraqi youth after disarming him of his weapon in a poor suburb of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, July 22, 2004.
Critics are already concerned that the military did not arrest him before disarming him of his weapon because that likely contributed to a lower body count for the nightly so-called news reports.
