A newly translated document from Saddam Hussein's intelligence files indicates that the Iraqi dictator ordered suicide attacks against U.S. targets six months before the 9/11 attacks.
Dated March 11, 2001, the Iraqi memo reads:
To all the Units
Subject: Volunteer for Suicide Mission
The top secret letter 2205 of the Military Branch of Al Qadisya on 4/3/2001 announced by the top secret letter 246 from the Command of the military sector of Zi Kar on 8/3/2001 announced to us by the top secret letter 154 from the Command of Ali Military Division on 10/3/2001 we ask to provide that Division with the names of those who desire to volunteer for Suicide Mission to liberate Palestine and to strike American Interests and according what is shown below to please review and inform us.
The document is signed by Air Brigadier General Abdel Magid Hammot Ali.
While the big media has so far ignored the find, Captain's Quarters blogger Ed Morrissey notes:
"If this translation stands up to further scrutiny, it will provide a substantial answer to the question of Saddam's role in terrorism, both in general and specifically aimed at America.
"This memo will prove that Saddam had no intention of remaining neutralized in the region. He not only funded and encouraged terrorism, but he actively recruited terrorists from the ranks of his own military to carry out suicide attacks on American interests."
Personally I believe that you and FR would end up getting the credit anyway. I am just saying the main focus should not be who gets the credit, but rather getting the truth out to the peeples and the media.
After all, we have heard for 5 years now that Saddam had nothing to do with Al-qaeda, nothing to do with terrorism, etc.
To show proof otherwise is a major event. And again, I do believe that you and FR would eventually end up with the credit for 'breaking' the story.
Getting into the fine points....BUT important that we change that statement to :
This top secret memo was written in March 11 2001 by the commanders of one the largest Iraqi air forces bases to ask their soldiers and airmen to volunteer for suicide attacks against US interests.....
You are indeed a noble gentleman with an honorable soul, and we all are deeply grateful to you.
The Lefties will attempt to link us to saying that documents such as this ....LINK Saddam DIRECTLY to the 9/11 attack and the document is not that strong....and so we are over reaching!

One conversation John had with his sister in the summer of 2001 stuck in his mind for a different reason. ''So she goes, 'Listen, the gulf war isn't over,''' he told me over dinner at a sushi place on the Sunset Strip. '''There are plans in effect right now. They will be raining down on us from the skies.''' His sister told him that Lower Manhattan would be destroyed. ''And I was like, Yeah, whatever,'' he continued. When he woke up six weeks later to the news that two planes had crashed into the twin towers, and watched as ash settled on the window ledge of his sublet in Brooklyn, he had a dislocating sense of having his reality replaced by Susan's strange world -- an experience he would have again when he learned that his sister had been arrested by the F.B.I.
Parke Godfrey, a close friend of Lindauer's for the last 15 years, is a professor of computer science at York University in Ontario. He says that Lindauer warned him not to take a job at N.Y.U. the summer before the Sept. 11 attacks. That Lindauer's outlandish predictions actually came true, Godfrey suggests, further encouraged the exalted sense of personal mission that brought her to Washington in the first place.
God, I love FR.
Understood.
Now I'm really concerned about you. You are thinking like a lefty. Please get some rest!

Jeez, I saw that. Does Churchill always try to talk like a stereo-typical indian? What a maroon!
Not a word about it in the MSM. Of course the President was correct to go to war with Iraq.
I dunno....first time I have seen him in action....
I thought there were no terrorists in Iraq until March 2003 and that Sadaams secular regime would never tolerate an Islamic based Terror organization?
I don't think its a smoking gun tying Saddam to 9-11, but it is obviously tying him to other suicide actions (Indonesia? Spain? embassies? Egypt? TWA 800?)
bttt
That Saddam Hussein would be involved in plotting against us after he got his a$$ handed back to him in 1991 should come as no surprise. Nor should it come as any surprise that Saddam would ally himself with that other America-hater, UBL. Saddam's regime was secular, and UBL's is fanatical moslem but it makes sense that they would each hold their noses with one hand and shake hands with the other. After all, the master race Nazis did the same with the Japanese, whom they deemed to be not long out of the trees. Politics and America-bashing make for some strange bedfellows.
Well said, avacado! I find it extremely disturbing that the MSM, the Dems, and their cohorts, succeeded in creating the "where's the WMD" argument and convincing people that in order for this war to be justified, we had to find Saddam's WMD. That is so far from the truth, it's pathetic.
