Wow, if this is true, it looks like we'll be paying a return visit to Baghdad, this time to finish the job.

I believe we've been given our marching orders. Let's roll.

There can be no doubt about Iraq's involvement in this...he and bin pigfeces are like Charlie Manson, inducing others to do the deed while they sit on their cushions and enjoy the chaos.

Evil is as evil does.

Sodomosama, the evil twins, will be doin' the towel-head rag on the other side of the River Styx soon enough.

I think I'll be doin' a little dance myself, celebrating their exit from this world.

Wait a minute!
Aren't CNN and the Washington Post still claiming that bin Laden and "right wing extremists" are solely to blame?

"British Ministers have responded to this prospect with 'horror', arguing that an attack on Saddam Hussein would cause terrible civilian casualties and cement anti-Western anger across Middle East. "

I am always amazed by the folks with terminal buckwheats who are so afraid of anti-Western anger. Wake up, gentlemen. No matter what you do or say they will hate you. They hate the west because the west represents civilization. If you are part of civilization then you are a valid target. They hate you and they train their children to hate you.

The Muslims have been in training for hundreds of years against the west. They call Christians: Crusaders (there is a widely used Arabic phrase for this that escapes me at the moment. I hope some alert Freeper will remind me of the term.). It is not an accidental choice. They are still in crusades mode. You cannot defeat the religion, the best that you can hope for is to contain it.

Senior US intelligence sources say the CIA has 'credible information' that in the spring of this year, at least two other members of the hijacking team (besides Atta) also met known Iraqi intelligence agents outside the United States. They are believed to be Atta's closest associates and co-leaders, Marwan al-Shehri and Ziad Jarrah, the other two members of the 'German cell ' who lived with Atta in Hamburg in the late 1990s.

growl!

I saw that and that is about the only part of the article I don't agree with !

This is a blockbuster article, how did the British let all of this out?

If true the next thing is a Declaration of War!

However, what Zeinab had to say about the southern part of the camp was new. There, he said, separated from the rest of the facilities by a razor-wire fence, was a barracks used to house Islamic radicals, many of them Saudis from bin Laden's Wahhabi sect, but also Egyptians, Yemenis, and other non-Iraqi Arabs.

Unlike the other parts of Salman Pak, Zeinab said the foreigners' camp was controlled directly by Saddam Hussein. In a telephone interview with The Observer, Zeinab described the culture clash which took place when secular Baathists tried to train fundamentalists: 'It was a nightmare! A very strange experience. These guys would stop and insist on praying to Allah five times a day when we had training to do. The instructors wouldn't get home till late at night, just because of all this praying.'

Muslims pray five times and bow five times a day to a black stone in Mecca, and encircle it seven times just as if the Kaaba were an idol.

Yes, after watching Bush's toughly worded speech to the UN General Asembly today, I am convinced that he is preparing the world for an attack on Iraq, an attack which could potentially involve a nuclear exchange.
