HusseinandTerror.com - PROOF of links between Saddam and global terrorists (MUST READ)
National Review ^ | October 20, 2004 | Deroy Murdock

Posted on 10/21/2004 2:26:09 AM PDT by igoramus987

Americans who still believe Saddam Hussein had no ties to terrorists in general or al Qaeda in particular should visit husseinandterror.com. This website is adapted from a speech I delivered on September 22 at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Husseinandterror.com includes photographs of Baathist-supported terrorists, pictures of the mayhem they have perpetrated, and portraits of those they have killed, including American citizens. It offers disturbing proof that Saddam Hussein and his regime operated a one-stop-shop for terrorists, including cash, diplomatic assistance, safe haven, training, and even medical care.

Readers may be startled to see, among other things, copies of checks given to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers in Israel. Perhaps for the first time (not the case for NRO readers), they will read the words of former Italian prime minister Bettino Craxi explaining that terrorist Abu Abbas — ring leader of the October 1985 Achille Lauro cruise-ship hijacking — was freed from Italian custody because he traveled on an Iraqi diplomatic passport.

There also is a web image of an online CBS News story headlined, "Court Rules: Al Qaida, Iraq Linked." It discusses a May 7, 2003 decision by Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. to award the families of two September 11 victims $104 million in damages after their attorney proved that Saddam Hussein's government provided "material support" to al Qaeda in the September 11 massacre. So much for Senator John Edwards's claim in the October 5 vice-presidential debate that "there is no connection between Saddam Hussein and the attacks of September 11th — period."

With the generous and able assistance of journalist, web designer, and fellow Twin Towers rebuilding advocate Justin Berzon, I have backed this evidence with 22 footnotes and suggestions for further reading on this subject, including links to 15 of my previous writings on this topic, all but one of them previously published on National Review Online.

The only mystery deeper than Osama bin Laden's home address is why the White House never has assembled a website, brochure, DVD, or even a speech presenting the overwhelming evidence of Saddam Hussein's philanthropy of terror. Highlighting the clear and extensive links between Hussein and global terrorists, including al Qaeda, would help Americans understand this key rationale for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Communicating this message with Americans and audiences abroad would generate cheers rather than jeers for President Bush's decision to lead more than 30 countries in dislodging Saddam Hussein in March 2003.

While Team Bush discusses this vital issue in whispers, at best, I hope husseinandterror.com will help Americans learn how Saddam Hussein operated Grand Terror Terminal, and why handcuffing him last year was then, and remains today, the right thing to have done.

A demolished bus, surrounded by victims of an April 10, 2002 terrorist blast at Yagur Junction. Not all of these victims are Israeli. American Abigail Litle, the daughter of a Baptist minister, was just 14 years old when she was killed on an Israeli bus on March 5, 2003.

The Philippine government expelled Hisham al Hussein on February 13, 2003, just five weeks before the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cell phone records indicate he had spoken with Abu Madja and Hamsiraji Sali, two leaders of Abu Sayyaf, al-Qaeda’s de facto franchise for the Philippines. The timing was particularly suspicious, as he had been in contact with the Abu Sayyaf terrorists just before and after they conducted an attack in Zamboanga City.

Abu Sayyaf’s nail-filled bomb exploded on October 2, 2002, injuring 23 individuals and killing two Filipinos and one American. That American was U.S. Special Forces Sergeant First Class Mark Wayne Jackson, age 40.

"The only mystery deeper than Osama bin Laden's home address is why the White House never has assembled a website, brochure, DVD, or even a speech presenting the overwhelming evidence of Saddam Hussein's philanthropy of terror. "

Thought of this last night catching O'Reilly . . .with two guests - putting in a nutshell; the problems of Iraq. . .made me furious that no mention or consideration of what contributions are being made by our 'significant others'- who 'will' our defeat in Iraq; and who are contributing no doubt, to the coffers of the terrorist and in turn; to the 'flux of chaos' (?) - so to speak;

. . .and also, of course, without considering how, our 'homegrown enemies' - the Left/Democrat/Kerrypeople et al - ARE determinedly influencing the negatives of Iraq as well.

All these efforts done at the expense of lives lost; now and in our future.

The 'rest of the story' is well beyond the depressing; 'nutshell analysis' so gratuitously offered. . .and which underscore an 'anti-Bush messaging'.

Made me furious also. Oreilly is getting too full of himself. He is selling his opinion of Iraq as fact to sway the election. This is wrong.

the only people he has on; are those that cast Iraq - and by extension our policies - in the worst light.

Frankly, do not want to hear what our Military should do - from a Time Magazine reporter.

These crooked lying liberals have no better plan to deal with terrorism than to place their "legitimacy" label on Saddam as a separate entity than the likes of OBL.

This goes to the core of what allowed these terrorists to enter this nation and become a common citizen in training for their premeditated attacks.

One must consider the possibility that liberals are willing accompanists of terror networks, given the stated foreign policy of the Clintons administration "EQUALIZE ALL NATIONS", and then giving nuclear to N.Korea after they adopted that starving nation from the Russians.
