I question the timing... where was Rove and what’s Rummy doing nowdays? We all know the CIA and those contractors (probably paid by Halliburton), grabbed an innocent man and framed him... where’s his rights? /dripping sarcasm.
Oh, I forgot:
If Bush hadn’t gone there... Al Q wouldn’t have come to Iraq; Why must you chickenhawks lie and attempt to force a connection? Stop being Bushbots. /insane sarcasm
There... that’s better. Move along... nothing to see here... Ooh Look! There’s Al Gore and Sheryl Crow!
1992 : (THIS YEAR IS WHEN IRAQ BEGAN CONSIDERING OSAMA BIN LADEN TO BE THEIR INTELLIGENCE ASSET - See HARMONY DOCS, IRAQ / BIN LADEN) We know from these IIS documents that beginning in 1992 the former Iraqi regime regarded bin Laden as an Iraqi Intelligence asset. We know from IIS documents that the former Iraqi regime provided safe haven and financial support to an Iraqi who has admitted to mixing the chemicals for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. We know from IIS documents that Saddam Hussein agreed to Osama bin Laden's request to broadcast anti-Saudi propaganda on Iraqi state-run television. We know from IIS documents that a "trusted confidante" of bin Laden stayed for more than two weeks at a posh Baghdad hotel as the guest of the Iraqi Intelligence Service. --------Weekly Standard: The Mother of All Connections
NOVEMBER 1992 : ONE OF AL JEHAD WA'L TADJEED'S LEADERS VISITS IRAQ, READY TO STRIKE AGAINST "US INTERESTS AT ANY TIME") The documents describe Al-Jehad wa'l Tajdeed as "a secret Palestinian organization" founded after the first Persian Gulf War that "believes in armed struggle against U.S. and western interests." The leaders of the group, according to the Iraqi memo, were stationed in Jordan in 1993, and when one of those leaders visited Iraq in November 1992, he "showed the readiness of his organization to execute operations against U.S. interests at any time." (See More Saddam Connections to al Qaeda) Tefft believes the Tajdeed group likely included al-Zarqawi, whom Teft described as "our current [2004] terrorist nemesis" in Iraq, "a Palestinian on a Jordanian passport who was with al Qaeda and bin Laden in Afghanistan prior to this period (1993)." ------- "Exclusive: Saddam Possessed WMD, Had Extensive Terror Ties," by Scott Wheeler, CNSNews, October 4, 2004

Bin Laden's first attack against US-two hotels in Aden, Yemen ---------- "PRE-BUSH timeline/list of Iraq's Ties To Al Queda," by Sam Pender-author of Iraq's Smoking Gun and other books on the matter , 6/12/04 [from US News & Time 1997 to 2000]
FEBRUARY 1993 : (NY CITY : 1993 WTC BOMBING --- See IBRAHIM SULEIMAN, HIKMAT SHAKIR, MUSAB YASIN, ABDULRAHMAN YASIN, ZSM & KSM ) Shakir, the Iraqi-born facilitator, would be arrested six days after the September 11 attacks by authorities in Doha, Qatar. According to an October 7, 2002, article by Newsweek's Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman, "A search of Shakir's apartment in Doha, the country's capital, yielded a treasure trove, including telephone records linking him to suspects in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Project Bojinka, a 1994 Manila plot to blow up civilian airliners over the Pacific Ocean." (Isikoff, it should be noted, has been a prominent skeptic of an Iraq-al Qaeda connection.) [The Iraqi Hikmat] Shakir had contact information for a lot of bad people. As noted, one was a Kuwaiti, Ibrahim Suleiman, whose fingerprints were found on the bombmaking manuals U.S. authorities allege were used in preparation for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Suleiman was convicted of perjury and deported to Jordan. Another was Musab Yasin, the brother of 1993 Trade Center bomber Abdul Rahman Yasin. Yet another was Zahid Sheikh Mohammed, brother of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, now in U.S. custody. Shakir also had an old number for Taba Investments, an al Qaeda front group. It was the number long used by Mahmdouh Mahmud Salim, the highest-ranking Iraqi member of al Qaeda. According to testimony from al Qaeda informants, Salim maintained a good relationship with Saddam's intelligence service. Despite all of this, the Qatari authorities released Shakir shortly after they arrested him [in late 2001]. ------ "Stephen Hayes:See No Evil, Hear No Evil," (What the 9/11 Commission narrative left out: Iraqis) , Stephen F.
