1. why is the media and the White House so mum about this stuff?

The connection is there.

2. Since Kay is reportedly coming up empty-handed, that leads me to beleive that the WMD have been transferred to terrorists.

3. When and where are they going to hit us?

4. The DELAY at the UN, sought by Democrats, could be responsible for all of this.

good points/comparison...I'm only hoping the DELAY at the UN isn't responsible for the next attack on US soil with these WMD from Iraq.

Posted this on an apparently duplicate thread...here is the info again...

According to a report Sunday by the Associated Press, 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed "told his interrogators he had worked in 1994 and 1995 in the Philippines with Ramzi Yousef, Abdul Hakim Murad and Wali Khan Amin Shah on the foiled Bojinka plot to blow up 12 Western airliners simultaneously in Asia."

Yousef, of course, was the man who plotted and executed the failed 1993 World Trade Center bombing, who entered the U.S. on an Iraqi passport the year before and whose partner in the plot, Abdul Rahman Yasin, was granted sanctuary by Saddam Hussein after the attack. Yasin is still at large.

Unmentioned by the AP, Mohammed's account of meetings with Yousef has been corroborated by Yousef's Bojinka partner, Abdul Hakim Murad. After his capture in 1995, Murad told the FBI that he and Yousef were contacted by Mohammed repeatedly during their time in the Philippines. Murad's FBI 302 witness statements detailing the contacts are reprinted in the new book "1000 Years for Revenge," by investigative reporter Peter Lance.

Another intriguing detail unmentioned by the AP, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is Ramzi Yousef's uncle.

Just last week, new documents uncovered by U.S. investigators in Iraq implicated Saddam's regime in the 1993 attack.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's Account Links 9/11 to '93 WTC Attack

Dick Cheney: "At the time I said no, we didn’t have any evidence of that. Subsequent to that, we’ve learned a couple of things. We learned more and more that there was a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the ’90s, that it involved training, for example, on BW and CW, that al-Qaeda sent personnel to Baghdad to get trained on the systems that are involved. The Iraqis providing bomb-making expertise and advice to the al-Qaeda organization.

We know, for example, in connection with the original World Trade Center bombing in ’93 that one of the bombers was Iraqi, returned to Iraq after the attack of ’93. And we’ve learned subsequent to that, since we went into Baghdad and got into the intelligence files, that this individual probably also received financing from the Iraqi government as well as safe haven.Now, is there a connection between the Iraqi government and the original World Trade Center bombing in ’93? We know, as I say, that one of the perpetrators of that act did, in fact, receive support from the Iraqi government after the fact.

Now...as to the WMD...

U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have finally been located.

Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United States and its allies, because the containers with the strategic materials are not in Iraq.

Instead they are located in Lebanon's heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents, Geostrategy-Direct.com will report in tomorrow's new weekly edition.

U.S. intelligence first identified a stream of tractor-trailer trucks moving from Iraq to Syria to Lebaon in January 2003. The significance of this sighting did not register on the CIA at the time.

U.S. intelligence sources believe the area contains extended-range Scud-based missiles and parts for chemical and biological warheads.

Debka and Israeli intelligence also said this months ago.

Unfortunately, that is the purpose of the UN, to delay and obstruct us, while others can prepare an attack.

Something like a "hudna".

" please remind me of what the connection was between Pearl Harbor and Hitler."

Japan, Italy, and Germany had a formal alliance dating back to the 1930's. After the USA declared war on Japan (following Pearl Harbor), Germany declared war on the USA within days.

Good stuff!

A lot of good info on this and other threads that needs to be discussed, reviewed, re-assessed by all of us in relation to the developing stories now on ABLE DANGER, Mohammed Atta, etc. Who knows what new links or connections we might make by re-examining all the relevant info in light of new info? I sure hope that's something that people in the intel agencies are doing all the time!

"An Iraqi defector to Turkey, known by his cover name as "Abu Mohammed," told Gwynne Roberts of the Sunday Times of London that he saw bin Laden's fighters in camps in Iraq in 1997. At the time, Mohammed was a colonel in Saddam's Fedayeen. He described an encounter at Salman Pak, the training facility southeast of Baghdad. At that vast compound run by Iraqi intelligence, Muslim militants trained to hijack planes with knives -- on a full-size Boeing 707. Col. Mohammed recalls his first visit to Salman Pak this way: "We were met by Colonel Jamil Kamil, the camp manager, and Major Ali Hawas. I noticed that a lot of people were queuing for food. (The major) said to me: 'You'll have nothing to do with these people. They are Osama bin Laden's group and the PKK and Mojahedin-e Khalq.'"

The Iraqis, who had the Third World's largest poison-gas operations prior to the Gulf War I, have perfected the technique of making hydrogen-cyanide gas, which the Nazis called Zyklon-B

Saddamm Hussein was raised by his uncle: Kharaillah Tulfah. who was in the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.

The Muslim Brotherhood was started in EGYPT in the 1920's, by Hassan Al-Bana. AL-BANA was a devout admirer of Adolf Hitler. The Muslim Brotherhood was inspired by The Nazis in Germany. Al Bana led a secret army of 500,000 arab nazis in WWII.

Mohammed ATTA was from EGYPT. And he went to GERMANY on a scholarship. He was not a fundamentalist. He was very western, drank alcohol and went to strip clubs, and spoke english "very well" according to one stewardess... He was an ISLAMOFASCIST. not a fundamentalist. No robes. The Muslim Brotherhood were arab fascists.

SYRIA and IRAQ = nazi model fascism = muslim brotherhood.

Can anyone explain to me why the name "MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD" does even appear once in the entire 9/11 Commision REPORT--- .
