Qusay Hussein coordinated Iraq special operations with bin Laden's terrorist activities

YOSSEF BODANSKY - National Press Club

[tallhappy]

Now that Saddam's sons are dead, there is talk the "resistance" againts US troops should decrease.

This makes sense in that these two brothers most likely oversaw the cash to pay those attacking US troops. And it has killed their liason with al Qaeda, Qusay.

Back in 1999 Yossef Bodansky had this to say:

The other state that is rising up -- and I've elaborated a lot in the book about that -- is Iraq. Bin Laden has been dealing with Iraq intelligence since the early 1990s, where they cooperated in Sudan and in Somalia. This has been a love-hate relationship because of the Iraqi secular policies and Saddam Hussein's disdain for Islamism and even persecution of Iraqi Islamists, including veterans of Afghanistan. But in recent years, Hassan al-Turabi, the spiritual leader of Sudan and bin Laden's patron, if you want, spiritual patron, mediated a deal between Iraq and bin Laden that has since been cemented and became practical.

The important thing of the recent development that should be a cause of tremendous worry is that Saddam Hussein empowered his son, Qusay to deal with the day-to-day relationship with bin Laden and coordinate the Iraqi special operations with bin Laden's terrorist activities. Last week, Qusay Hussein has been elevated into the declared successor and had taken a tremendous amount of new powers, particularly in issues of national security, intelligence operations and the like. And that will of course elevate also the standing of bin Laden and the cooperation that they have been working on. And we should be very worried about that development.

How soon all the "guerilla attacks", as they are more and more being referred to as, continue will be reflected in how much Qusay and his also dead brother oversaw the coordination and payment for the attacks and whether or not they have anyone who was a top aide to them who can or will take over.

Dems have been loving the "guerilla attacks". Flashbacks of their perceived past glory -- Vietnam -- dance in their heads.

They ignore or downplay any relation or coordination of the Hussein regime with al Qaeda or terrorist groups. They will most likely be disapointed by the decrease in attacks on our troops in the same way the CA legislators were overheard discussing how a crisis in the state would benefit them politically.

Yet it was under the Clinton administration that the info about Iraq and al Qaeda came forth near the end of 1998, early 1999.

It came in wake of the visit of Farouk Hijazi, Iraq's Ambassador to Turkey at the time, to bin Laden in Afghanistan.

NEVER FORGET


-WHY did the CLINTONS fire the FBI's Chief Investigator of the World Trade Center Bombing-1993 just as he was finding its link to Iraq in the Mid-1990's..?

-WHY did the CLINTONS refuse 3 No Strings Offers during the 1990's to extradite our No. 1 Terrorist Enemy OSAMA bin LADEN from the Sudan to a U.S. Trial that would have prevented the Attacks on us on September 11, 2001..?

-WHY did the CLINTONS aid our Terrorist Enemy HO CHI MINH's Communist Victory over US and FREEDOM during the Vietnam War..?

-WHY won't the CLINTONS come over to our side in a new -Time of War-
with our own FREEDOM now at stake..?


NEVER FORGET

No Way! And they didn't have WMD's either. Qusay and E-bay weren't bad people either! You can't prove Iraq will be any better off without them.

Yeah Right! Someone needs to toss these 'Democrats' on the nearest compost heap so that they can at least do something useful and fertilize the corn.

These 'leaders' care so much for their people, don't they?

I've also seen this picture and sent it to a friend of mine. Do you have the original source for this? Also, is there an available translation of the Arabic writing on the poster? It all might go a long way to establishing Sadddam's involvement in 9/11.

And Iraq, alone among the 22 members of the Arab League, failed to condemn the atrocities of Sept. 11. Indeed, Baghdad celebrated them. Saddam's government issued a statement, quoted widely in Al-Iraq and other state-run papers, that said America deserved the attacks.

You know as well as I that Saddam's regime in no way represented the Iraqi people.

although not of Ba'athists and their supporters - the very people who so brutally ran the country until recently

Most Iraqis hate the Ba'athists.

Too strong. He had a lot of support among Sunnis, and probably among some other groups.

The point I'm trying to make is that the Muslim world is largely angry, violent, frustrated and humiliated...and a lot of blame for this is heaped on Westerners - particularly Americans. We cannot defend against boxcutters. So we have to try to change Muslim culture.

We chose Iraq for many reasons but one certainly is the support we were likely to find among the population, both for our culture and our policy of overthrowing the Ba'athists.

[roses of sharon]

Saddam and Sons could never be trusted, during and after their so-called "containment".

[Peach]

That's for sure, Sharon.

[roses of sharon]

The Sons really scared me.

In the Los Angeles Times editorial of this morning, these documented facts went down the Orwellian memory hole. Saddam did host, train. arm and pay al Zarqawi's al Qaeda thugs. Jean Francois Cheri is therefore incorrect along with the MSM in their claim the terrorists were not there before our invasion. They were there all along and as soon as they had the opportunity they launched bloody terrorist assaults against us. Those who do not remember the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them.
