So.....excuse me for asking a silly question, but what about Bin Laden?
And does this mean we actually have captured the guy behind 9/11 then, so the dems can stfu now?
Or is that overestimate?
Yeah, and Carter's one of his guys!
US Federal Judge Baer established in his ruling that the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center did involve the government of Saddam Hussein.
It has been a sacrosanct principal of objection that the Iraq war and 911 have nothing to do with each other.
If this Al Qaeda mastermind is confessing that he was involved in the 1993 bombing that it proves coordination between Al Qaeda and the government of Iraq prior to 911. It also makes it improbable and near impossible that the Iraqi government did not assist in the attacks of 911. Even the limited knowledge of the attacks results in 1993 would have been useful in planning larger attacks which would actually knock down the towers. This was the orginal plan of the 1993 attacks. The attackers were suprised by the resiliency of the towers and even those caught for the 93 attacks promised that someday they would be repeated and destroy the towers.
There was some mention of biologicals. Wanna bet that is the redacted part??
No! It means Rove used his Hurricane/Mind Control Machine to implant false thoughts in the peaceful Muslim's innocent head, and then evil interrogators at the illegal gitmo Torture Facility (TM) used an assortment of frilly women's undergarments, country-western music, and gauche, ill-fitting, non-flattering orange prison garbs to get him to spill these installed thoughts.
I would confess to anything after about 3 repetitions.
Previously, KSM said that the anthrax mailings was....the other guy....
You're not missing a thing.
KSM was involved in the 1993 WTC bombing. The bomb maker in the attack, Abdul Rahman Yasin, fled to Iraq and lived for 10 years on Saddam's payroll.
If Saddam was directly connected to the '93 attack, and the '93 attack is connected to 9/11, Saddam Hussein is connected to the people behind the 9/11.
But then, this has been an open and shut case since Day One to anyone with a shred of common sense. But we may be nearing a time when it actually becomes official.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, confessed to that attack and a string of others during a military hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to a transcript released Wednesday by the Pentagon.
Mohammed claimed responsibility for planning, financing, and training others for bombings ranging from the 1993 attack at the World Trade Center to the attempt by would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes.
Mohammed also admitted to planning assassination attempts on former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, as well as Pope John Paul II.
In all, Mohammed said he was responsible for planning 29 individual attacks, including many that were never executed. The comments were included in a 26-page transcript released by the Pentagon, which also blacked out some of his remarks.
The Pentagon also released transcripts of the hearings of Abu Faraj al-Libi and Ramzi Binalshibh.
Binalshibh is suspected of helping Mohammed with the Sept. 11, 2001, attack plan and is also linked to a foiled plot to crash aircraft into London's Heathrow Airport. Al-Libi is a Libyan who reportedly masterminded two bombings 11 days apart in Pakistan in December 2003 that targeted President Pervez Musharraf for his support of the U.S.-led war on terror.
The hearings, which began last Friday, are being conducted in secret by the military as it tries to determine whether 14 alleged terrorist leaders should be declared "enemy combatants" who can be held indefinitely and prosecuted by military tribunals.
Hearings for six of the 14 have already been held. The military is not allowing reporters to attend the sessions and is limiting the information it provides about them, arguing that it wants to prevent sensitive information from being disclosed.
The 14 were moved in September from a secret CIA prison network to the prison at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, where about 385 men are being held on suspicion of links to Al Qaeda or the Taliban.
This is a developing story. Refresh the page for updates.
Sorry, I don't believe anything written by anybody named Lolita C. Baldor....
I hope it really pained him to confess. /sarc
He confessed before a military tribunal !
Is there any reason he isn't pushing up daisies ?
When did Jennifer Griffen becoem the Pentagon correspondent?
Naked Rosie. That would do it.
"There was some mention of biologicals. Wanna bet that is the redacted part??"
In the 9/11 report anthrax and the cropdusters were wholly absent.
Surely the CIA asked KSM about those two?
Victoria's Secret Catalogue
He also admitted to being behind plots to kill former Presidents, according to FNC.
No word if that includes the 1993 assassination attempt of Bush 41 and the Emir of Kuwait, which Saddam was found guilty of ordering.
I'm thinking the Saddam angle of the KSM story will come out separately, on its own. If it does, it will be the biggest earthquake DC has seen in years.
Good, now feed him to the sharks in Gitmo bay, slowly and feet first!
