Exploring Iraq link to pre-Sept. 11 acts

Our position is: Congress should hold hearings on evidence of previous Iraqi connections to terror.

Astatement by former CIA Director James Woolsey has given new credibility to suspicions of Iraqi involvement in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the World Trade Center bombing of 1993 -- enough to merit congressional hearings.

The likes of Arlen Specter doesn't give me any great hope...

[steve50]

Arlan doesn't instill much confidence in me either. If Iraqi involvement comes out after all this time we are going to need more than "explanations" from the investigators. It had to be covered up by some pretty high officials in our FBI/CIA, ect, we're going to need treason trials.

Jayna Davis and Laurie Mylroie were pushed aside, their stories labeled frivolous along with a whole cadre of other witnesses who were equally squelched, their remarks reaching only the back pages of local newspapers and obscure ones. Had Dan Burton been courageous enough, none of this would have been swept under the carpet at the time. McVeigh took the easy way out but Terry Nichols is still with us; he needs to be made to talk and I hope that man is under heavy guard from within and without. That two men could have done all that damage is preposterous. This is more of the same 'sweeping' Vince Foster got – from the Clintons once again.

I wish I could remember what show and what cable channel I was watching, but a couple of months back, I was watching a documentary type show. During this show they showed some papers (documents), darkened the screen so they could draw a circle around a highlighted paragraph.

In this document was a section about ME involvement in OKC. And if I remember correctly, this was just above or just below the highlighted area.

Unfortunately, they didn't stay on this screen long enough to read much of what was said about the ME involvement, but what I did read seemed to imply that there HAD been ME involvement. I can't even remember who narrated the show.

Since they often rerun these shows, I'll have to try to watch for anything that might have been it, but I found that paper mentioning ME involvement VERY interesting!

Arlen worked on the Warren Commission Nuff said

[meenie]

Due to cover-up and incompetence, the trials of these two events should have given us ample warning of future terrorist actions. By sweeping the connections with Iraq under the rug, we now have a reluctance by our officials to bring up these important connections with Iraq.

We have a meeting in Prague by Mohammad Atta as connecting Iraq to terrorism by the simple explanation of guilt by association. We pass up a far more damaging and direct linkage to Iraq in the form of these attacks because we cannot admit that there is a subversion of justice in the United States. What a tangled web we weave, when we seek to deceive!

America Should Act in Self Defense Against Iraq For 9/11,OKC,1993 WTC Attacks

Personal Reserach, interviews and Opinions by Author ^ | September 5, 2002 | Patrick B. Briley

Saddam Hussein of Iraq hired mercenaries from Baluchistan for his war on terror against the US even before the 1991 Gulf War.

Saddam’s 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 Saddam’s Baluchi mercenaries who attacked America for Saddam and Iraq.

Middle East expert Lorie Mylroie has given eloquent proofs over the years of Saddam’s 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 Saddam’s 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spector is just trying to see what he's gonna need to cover his butt if the truth ever comes out, he'll have his lies and tons of documents to feed to the press. Everything is okay here, just move along.

[The Great Satan]

Al-Jazeera has announced that they will be playing a tape interview with Khalid Mohammed next week in which he explains some of the operational planning behind the September 11 attacks.

[The Great Satan]

Astatement by former CIA Director James Woolsey has given new credibility to suspicions of Iraqi involvement in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the World Trade Center bombing of 1993 -- enough to merit congressional hearings.

In a Sept. 5 article on the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Woolsey was quoted saying that "when the full stories of these two incidents are finally told, those who permitted the investigations to stop short will owe big explanations" to two women. He was referring specifically to former Oklahoma City TV reporter Jayna Davis and Middle East expert Laurie Mylroie, who have independently unearthed evidence of a Baghdad connection to domestic terrorism prior to Sept. 11, 2001.

From a PBS interview with James Woolsey aired last October:

There have been press reports that you've been to the United Kingdom recently.

I've been to the United Kingdom twice this year.

Where did you stay?

Various places.

Did you go for pleasure or did you go for business?

I went for my own reasons.

It's reported that this is related to your passion about the idea that there might be state involvement, particularly Iraqi involvement, in what's been happening.

You'll have to find out about that from somebody other than me.

But the press reports are true? Untrue?

I'm not going to comment on them one way or the other.

OK. Is that because there's a secrecy rule about talking about this stuff?

Because if I do anything to help me advise the U.S. government, I'm not going to talk about it. ...

[Robe]

[aristeides]

What purpose is served by continuing the lies when the fact that they are lies has become so widely known?

[okie01]

In a Sept. 5 article on the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Woolsey was quoted saying that "when the full stories of these two incidents are finally told, those who permitted the investigations to stop short will owe big explanations"

Inasmuch as Woolsey was CIA Director at the time of the first WTC bombing and the Oklahoma City bombing, he must have detailed knowledge of both of these events.

From his willingness to make such a public assertion that "the investigations were stopped short", I infer that his information is incredibly damaging -- even nuclear.

Why, I wonder, is there no apparent interest in Mr. Woolsey's information -- on the part of the Congress or the media.

In intelligence matters, information is shared on the basis of "need to know". I believe it can now be said that the American people "need to know".

Moreover, I suppose, we can probably guess who it is we "need to know" about. Along with what it is we "need to know" about them...

[The Great Satan]

I take it from Woolsey's remarks that he did not come up empty-handed on his mission to the UK last year. Please note also the administration's sotto voce promise to "talk more" about the Atta-al-Ani meeting, a few weeks ago. And, I would also keep a weather eye on the FBI's strangely-timed return to Delray Beach, FL, to search for the anthrax letter which killed Bob Stevens.

The administration is playing this very close to the chest, but something is in the works.

[okie01]

"The administration is playing this very close to the chest, but something is in the works."

I quite agree; we're in the run-up to revelations.

But I wonder just how much is going to be revealed. All of it? Most of it? Or just enough to persuade most of the doubters? And, thus, not enough to implicate the guilty...
