I think this guy may just be looking for his 15 mins of fame. After all, he is promoting his book.
I'm skeptical.
So no one witness to anything or part of anything can reveal it if they are writting a book? Absurd. Anyone who writes a book wants to publicize it.
Thanks for the post edpc.
This isn't outlandish. Saudi Arabia supported Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War and that's probably why bin Laden was there.
I agree w/ that -- but where was this Iraqi general 3 years ago?
Three years ago today he was still head of the Iraqi airforce and one of Saddam's top guys.
hmm..Is he promoting the book from prison? Is he going to be charged with anything?
Nope, as I understand it he is free. Now you make me doubt my statement about where he was 3 years ago. We will soon know as he gets more ink and interviews. Thanks for your observation.
"They handed over the weapons of mass destruction to the Syrians.This is the bigger story than a 1984 visit by OBL. In 1984, OBL wasn't even working for the DNC yet. Hadn't really started his anti-American campaigns yet.

Call me skeptical, too. Having a former Iraqi general peddling his book on Fox News while Iraq's former rulers are on trial for various crimes is a little too bizarre for me.
What next, OBL caused Chernobyl?
Info bump here.
Not all oh SH officers were criminals. He states he was one of the officers that talked SH out of using WMD's on Israel. I may be wrong but I think he was retired before we went into Iraq in '03 but was recalled briefly during the 1st gulf war.
Seems like that was near the time Pakistan's nuclear "Walmart" represenative A. Q. Khan visited Saddam. Bin Laden probably didn't want to miss out on the nuke agreements or the sweet mint tea.
It wasn't until I read it worded like this that I perceived that we nmay be seeing an established Hussein behavior pattern:
Remember when (during Desert Shield/Desert Storm) Saddam saved the remainder of his air force by evacuating it to his "enemy", Iran?
It doesn't strike me as odd - nor should it. If OBL had visited the US over twenty years ago it wouldn't change the fact I wish his head put on a pike. It was such a different political world (for the US) two decades ago.""
If the world had stopped Hitler over 60 years ago, the world would be a different place also.
AND, the nutcase "elected" to be president of IRAN would not have a reason to run off at the mouth like he has rabies and verbal diarreha
Do you have some inside information to share with us?
