September 9, 2002 -- Iraq sponsored Osama bin Laden's terrorists for 10 years leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks by supplying high-powered weapons, fake passports and training in airline hijackings, court papers say.
Saddam Hussein's sons, Qusay and Uday Hussein, are portrayed as key players in the terror alliance, convincing their father that an Iraq-al Qaeda partnership was the most effective weapon in deflecting U.S. attempts to topple his regime and inflicting revenge for the humiliating Gulf War defeat.

Why isn't Bush making the case to the American people, to the UN and Europe that the US has the right of self defense agsinst Iraq given Iraq and Saddam roles in 9/11, OKC bombing and the 1993 WTC attack?

Saddam Hussein of Iraq hired mercenaries from Baluchistan for his war on terror against the US even before the 1991 Gulf War.
Saddams Baluchi mercenaries have been very successful in attacking American targets and killing innocent American citizens in the 9/11, OKC and 1993 WTC Attacks.
Khalid Mohammed and his nephew Ramzi Yousef were Saddams Baluchi mercenaries who attacked America for Saddam and Iraq.
Middle East expert Lorie Mylroie has given eloquent proofs over the years of Saddams involvement in the 1993 WTC attack.
The FBI and DOJ publicly say Khalid Mohammed was a mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks and the 1993 WTC bombing.
Ramzi Yousef is in Federal prison for his bombing of the WTC in 1993.
The FBI and DOJ and Bush White House have not yet told you that Khalid Mohammed was a mastermind of the OKC bombing and behind the meetings of Terry Nichols in the Philippines to plan the OKC bombing. They have not yet told you that the Abu Sayeff cell in the Philippines run by Khalid Mohammed and Ramzi yousef was filled with Iraqi agents besides just Khalid Mohammed and Yousef. In December 1995 the Philippine police arrested nine members of the Abu Sayeff terror group. Six of the nine members arrested were identified by the Philippine authorities to the US government as Iraqi agents. So counting Khalid Mohammed and Ramzi Yousef, there were at least eight Iraqi agents involved in the Abu Sayef cell in the Philippines that helped Nichols plan and carry out the OKC bombing.
There is now a public debate about whether or not to go to war against Iraq and Saddam. The debate so far has been framed and deliberately limited by the White House and in Congress as to whether or not Saddam has weapons of mass destruction and if he will in the future use them sooner rather than later against the US.
It is possible that Congress and the American people and the world will not be adequately persuaded of the need to remove Saddam now based solely on the weapons of mass destruction arguments that may not yet be compelling and verifiable enough to enough people.
The case should be made by the White House to Congress and to the American people and to the world (UN, Europe,etc.) that the US has the right of self defense for the acts of war committed by Saddam and Iraq against Americans in the 9/11 attacks, the OKC bombing and the 1993 WTC attack. In fact these acts of war against the US are vastly more compelling and provable than weapons of mass destruction that Saddam has hidden but cannot be completely verified.
The FBI and CIA and previous administrations have many skeletons in their closet for their connivance, for their not stopping, and for their not telling the American people about the role of Iraq in the 9/11, OKC and 1993 WTC attacks against America. Please see my article FBI and DOJ Connivance Permeates, Interconnects Terror Attacks on the FreeRepublic.com dated August 15, 2002.
The White House should immediately and urgently make the strongest case possible against Saddam and Iraq, namely Saddams use of Iraqi agents in the attacks on Americans. If the White House fails to do so out of trying to protect FBI and administration failures in the past, then the White House would be performing a great disservice to America and could be held responsible for future Iraq attacks on Americans if the result should be that action is not taken against Iraq and Saddam soon enough
The White House should first worry about saving Americans from Iraq and Saddam before the White House worries about saving political careers and failed FBI and DOJ officials. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's becoming more apparent to me each day that Saudi Arabia should be next on the agenda as soon as we're finished with Iraq.
Well, I don't think it was seen as a large-scale, international plot against the United States. It was written off initially as just an amorphous grouping of radicals who were somehow motivated by the blind sheik but were not part of an international conspiracy. The arrest of Ramzi Yousef and Ramzi Yousef's involvement in that bombing should have been a huge wake-up call. It simply wasn't.
And we've all heard the term, "connecting the dots." That wasn't done. It wasn't done on a federal level. We certainly couldn't do it on a municipal level. But it should have been the wake-up call for America that we were at war. We've been at war since 1993, and we simply didn't realize it.
