One of the first things to go down the memory hole was Zawahiri and his band of thugs, “Egyptian Islamic Jihad”, were on Saddam’s payroll. They are who recruited Bin Ladin, and they are who formed his inner circle. Bin Ladin’s connection to Saddam has been hidden in plain sight all along.
And we have discussed endlessly here the connections from both the first World Trade Center attack and the second one that led back to Saddam.
Its a murky world out there, Bin Ladin has received help from the Saudi royals, and Iran, and Saddam. Most people are prepared to focus on one leg while ignoring the other two. Saddam certainly knew about 911 before it happened and hinted strongly that he ordered it. No “war on terror” was going to be successful that left him in power.
And no war on terror was going to be successful that armed the very same Al Qaeda and handed them the keys to the middle east. That was Obama’s policy. Not Bush’s.
More complete bull.
Saddam as contained. Was spending most of his time keeping control of Iraq.
This nonsense here that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11 has consistently been proven false over and over.
I certainly believe that Saddam was “provider” for the anthrax attack.
I pretty much agree with you. Where I’m still not convinced is that the King or elite government officials of Saudi Arabia were knowingly financing the taking down of the WTC.
That kingdom spreads a lot of money around, and I don’t doubt some funds wound up in the wrong hands. I’m just not willing to condemn the Saudi Leadership at the very top.
Why? Saudi Arabia has been a mitigating factor in the Middle-East for fifty years that I know of. When OPEC met and other radical members wanted to stick it to the West, the Saudis were always the cooler heads that prevailed.
The Saudis also invest their funds in the West. Taking down the West would not serve them.
I’ve seen arguments made that they also connive to bring down the West, and I’m not certain they don’t in some ways.
I do know that what comes after the Saudi Royal family will not be better. It will be much much worse.
I agree that Husein had to go. He was also giving money to the family of suicide combers in Israel, and I have never been convinced he didn’t have WMDs. Some have been found.
