Good find!

U.S. Newswire, December 23, 1999. Terrorism Expert Reveals Why Osama bin Laden has Declared War On America; Available for Comment in Light of Predicted Attacks.

... (author Yossef) Bodansky also reveals the relationship between bin Laden and Saddam Hussein and how the U.S. bombing of Iraq is "strengthening the hands of militant Islamists eager to translate their rage into violence and terrorism." .... - - - - -

Sheesh! There's quite a bit out there about this! Good job!

Thanks so much! Saved to Iraqi file favorites and with a better title so I can find it again.

Amazing this is the same media that is now pretending there was no linkage between Iraq and AQ and trying to twist the subject to means that if Iraq didn't directly commit 9/11, then the president lied.

Great link. Here are some more1:

'Proof' of Iraq/Bin Laden links (Note: mentions Salman Pak)

Iraqi dissident says bin Laden's deputy visited Iraq in 1998, discussed attacks on U.S. targets.

A FR search on "Iraq Bin Laden" using the "match all words" option will turn up dozens of such articles. We--meaning the dems and media--knew about all this for years, up until the moment it became politically expedient to forget about it all.

PS--just noticed this one: IRAQ TEMPTS BIN LADEN TO ATTACK WEST from Dec. 28,1999. I don't know how reliable the source is, but the article is chilling:

"The world's most wanted man, Osama bin Laden, has been offered sanctuary in Iraq if his worldwide terrorist network succeeds in carrying out a campaign of high-profile attacks on the West over the next few weeks."

We know what happened less than a year later.
