The above link will take you to the Threat Matrix thread, we have several posts for the knowledge of OBL in the 1990's and later, for some reason we kept finding and posting them.
There are several reports on the 3701 page and the next pages have several links to reports that fit in with this, as the Russian Mafia also is involved. post 3731.
The story is there to be found, if one wants to find it.
The left is afraid that it will be found.

Iraq tempts bin Laden to attack West

December 28, 1999
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.
Intelligence sources say the Saudi dissident believed responsible for
the bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and a US
military barracks in Saudi Arabia in 1998, is running out of options
for a safe haven.
He is now thought to have overcome his initial rejection of Saddam
Hussein, whom he regarded as an exploiter of the Islamic cause rather
than a true believer, and is considering the offer of a bolt-hole from
which he can continue to mastermind terrorism on a global scale.
A US counter-terrorist source said yesterday: "Our State Department
issued a worldwide warning on December 11. We have solid information
that many of the groups operating under bin Laden's patronage are
planning 'spectaculars' to coincide with the period leading up to and
through the millennium celebrations.
"They want to inflict maximum loss of life in return for publicity.
Now we are also facing the prospect of an unholy alliance between bin
Laden and Saddam. The implications are terrifying.
CNN 1999...
"Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden"
http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/meast/9902/13/afghan.binladen/
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/09/12/mideast.reaction/
From CNN September 12, 2001 - LONDON, England -- Leaders of Middle
Eastern nations, including U.S. foes Libya and Iran, have condemned
the terror attacks on the U.S. -- with one notable exception.
Saddam Hussein's Iraq said the United States deserved Tuesday's
attacks in New York and Washington as the fruits "of its crimes
against humanity."
Under the headline "America burns," the official newspaper Al-Iraq
said that "what happened in the United States yesterday is a lesson
for all tyrants, oppressors and criminals."
Overnight an official Iraqi statement said: "The American cowboys are
reaping the fruit of their crimes against humanity."
Translation: It's not Clinton's fault. It's the fault of the those prudish Republicans out to bring down the president over a harmless tryst.

Just a note to check this out later.

I posted the audio link and transcript over a year ago. I don't think the MSM will ever tell the truth, even when the evidence comes from their own mouths.

What is the date of air? The 2004 date of the file or the 1999 January 17 date?
Aha! Here's the MRC story:

"Osama Believe's in the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and is someone i should cooperate with, thats certainly the current case on Iraq."
But later, Cannistaroro is on record as saying:
"“Is there any confirmed evidence of Iraq's links to terrorism? No,” [Washington Post 9/10/02]
“Basically, cooked information is working its way into high-level pronouncements and there's a lot of unhappiness about it in intelligence, especially among analysts at the CIA.” [Sydney Morning Herald, 10/10/2002]
“They are politicizing intelligence, no question about it. And they are undertaking a campaign to get George Tenet [the director of central intelligence] fired because they can't get him to say what they want on Iraq.” [Washington Post, 10/25/02]
Why the sudden Change?
