As John Adams put it, "facts are stubborn things." Two rather important ones that our leftwing/Stalinist propaganda organs have gone to extraordinary lengths to obscure or deny are:

1 An Iraqi intelligence officer met with some of the 9/11 conspirators in early 2000 in Malaysia. He greeted one of the 9/11 hijackers at the airport in Kuala Lumpur and escorted him. He subsequently disappeared after the 9/11 kickoff meeting.

2 Mohammed Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence agent in April of 2001 in Prague. Czech intelligence is certain it was Atta while the CIA disputes it. Keep in mind the CIA's track record and its internal politics when they dispute this meeting ever occurred.

A reasonable person can draw a very strong inference from those facts.

Interestingly, TWA flight 800 was shot down on July 17th, the anniversary of the founding of the Iraqi Baath party. The Iraqi role in the 1993 WTC bombing is well known. Just a series of incidents whose cumulative odds point toward Iraq and Saddam Hussein having a very active sponsoring and operational role in the 9/11 attacks. The US had no choice but to remove him.

That would be Lt. Col. Ahmed Hitmak Shakir who attended the 9/11 planning meeting in Kuala Lumpur. He was apparently arrested in Jordan while returning to Iraq. Saddam publicly complained and the CIA, trying to avoid bad PR on US Iraq policy, convinced the Jordanians to release him. Nice, huh?

I don't think Saddam kept Mr. Smoking Gun around too long.
