CAIRO, Egypt - A former Democratic senator and 9/11 commissioner says a recently declassified Iraqi account of a 1995 meeting between Osama bin Laden and a senior Iraqi envoy presents a "significant set of facts," and shows a more detailed collaboration between Iraq and Al Qaeda.

In an interview yesterday, the current president of the New School University, Bob Kerrey, was careful to say that new documents translated last night by ABC News did not prove Saddam Hussein played a role in any way in plotting the attacks of September 11, 2001.

[To the Left, it's more like walking after an enema...]

Hilarious, descriptive and true...LOL

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks!

[jazusamo]

Thanks for the ping. As I was reading it, it was mentioned on FNC.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Bump. Bob Kerrey is hardly part of the VRWC.

...new documents translated last night by ABC News did not prove Saddam Hussein played a role in any way in plotting the attacks of September 11, 2001.

And how about OKC?

But at that point, the public, who have been fed long periods of denials, will ignore the truth because they will have already made up their minds that the reports are false. Then ABC will run more polls, and say that the public sees no connection between Hussein and al-Qaida.

The Sunday Talk Shows seem to be a big part of the effort, although Foxnews helps keep some real stuff on the TV.

Is anyone looking for documents that prove Saddam worked with bin Laden for 9/11?

The only people who make that claim are Democrats when they're trying to discredit Republicans by throwing up this straw man argument ...

It's not that they collaborated on 9/11, it's that Saddam was harboring terrorists and attempting to work with them at all.

Anyone remember the Bush Doctrine?

And how about OKC?

That's what I'm waiting for.

You can add TWA-800.

[b4its2late]

If you notice, liberals are always moving the goalposts.

Yep. But more like excavating one area, then blasting parts away (while asking you to turn off your radio), then saying, oops, gotta go over here, and doing the same thing.....

[eyespysomething]

So you have Iraqi intel and Al Qaida meeting in Feb 2005, then you have OKC (the Phillipines connection), Riyadh, Khobar, TWA 800, and others in the next 2 years.

Hmmm...

"I have only ONE question- when will Chris Matthews interview him on Hardball?"

When Matthews gets his head out of his butt. Meaning never.

[justa-hairyape]

And the attempted assassination of Bush senior clearly illustrates that either Iraq had an agency that conducted foreign terrorism or Iraq contracted foreign terrorists.
