Next time, you should actually pay attention to substance instead of trying to make some stupid point based solely on the language someone uses. Peach did say "pre". But, if you can get beyond her use of that word, you would see that she was referring specifically to the 9-11 planning meeting in Kuala Lumpur attended by two of the hijackers and KSM himself. So, while we are talking about an actual meeting, you can go on and talk about some unspecified hypothetical meeting all you like. That's not the topic of my posts, or hers.
There was no indication of exactly which meeting was involved prior to my initial post. That meeting is by no means the only one between Saddam's agents and aQ. They even traveled to Afganistan for a face to face with OBL prior to 911.
My "stupid" point was referencing an explicit comment.
And it turns out that this meeting was only one of several.
Nor is it clear that we are speaking of two different people particularly when the 9/11 Commission was desparately trying to claim that there was no connection between SH and 9/11.
