From my files:

Ramzi Yousef (1993 WTC) and Terry Nichols (OKC)crossed paths in the Phillipines. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (9/11) was Yousef's uncle. It is interesting to note that Yousef entered the United States on an Iraqi passport and had been known among the New York fundamentalists as "Rashid, the Iraqi". Another name that could be thrown into the mix is Abdul Rahman Yasin, a U.S. citizen who moved to Iraq in the 1960's and returned to the U.S. in 1992. After the 1993 WTC bombing, Yasin fled to Iraq and was given monthly salary and housing by Saddam Hussein's regime.

I wouldn't say that too loud, it might disturb some liberal/leftist lurker. Their worldview is predicated on saddam being a boyscout, and a secular ruler opposed to the sunni/shia theocrat fanatics. They can't handle the truth.

The omission commission was set up to whitewash the whole deplorable mess that was the Clinton Administration.

Thanks for the links. How could any self-respecting liberal deny gravity, that leaves are green; what's with these people and their closedmindedness?

I just had it pointed out to me the other day that Lee Hamilton is on the Board of Directors of Stonebridge International, Sandy Burglar's company. I wondered if he ever pointed out that conflict of interest to the Ommissioners.

Perhaps you could ask the mod to put in the original publication date, then.

Exactly. I actually have a good piece on how Saddam's regime wasn't secular after 1991, that he instituted Shria to save his butt after the post Desert Storm uprisings within Iraq. I love to hit the Saddam apologists with that one.

Thanks for the transcript, I can find a use for that. Here is that video you can watch. You can download that in FLV format here if you want but you will need to also download an FLV player to play it. There is also a realmedia version on the internet someplace too which could be found with a search.

Good point. I believe he even changed the Iraqi flag, putting a koranic verse on the flag itself.

The MSM used to think so, but now they trumpet the Dem talking points. The clear bias that they show towards Bush is very apparent, as their archived articles tell a whole different story...

In in 1998, an Arab intelligence officer, who knows Saddam personally, predicted in Newsweek: "Very soon you will be witnessing large-scale terrorist activity run by the Iraqis." The Arab official said these terror operations would be run under "false flags" --spook-speak for front groups--including bin Laden's organization.

Then there were the predictions by an Iraqi with ties to Iraqi intelligence, Naeem Abd Mulhalhal, in Qusay's own newspaper several weeks before the attacks that stated bin Laden would “demolish the Pentagon after he destroys the White House and ”bin Laden would strike America “on the arm that is already hurting.” (referencing a second IRAQI sponsored attack on the World Trade Center). Another reference to New York was “[bin Laden] will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra everytime he hears his songs.” (e.g., “New York, New York”) which identified New York, New York as a target. Mulhalhal also stated, “The wings of a dove and the bullet are all but one and the same in the heart of a believer." which references an airplane attack.

The Arabic language daily newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabic also cited the cooperation between Iraq, bin Laden and Al December 1998 editorial, which predicted that “President Saddam Hussein, whose country was subjected to a four day air strike, will look for support in taking revenge on the United States and Britain by cooperating with Saudi oppositionist Osama Bin-Laden, whom the United States considers to be the most wanted person in the world.” This info is in the link provided below. How could these people have had foreknowledge without Iraq being involved?

Source for this info

Warning...slow loading .pdf file. This was from a lawsuit filed against Iraq after 9/11...the court ruled against Iraq.

There was also another lawsuit filed by the family of John O’Neill (a former FBI agent who captured Ramzi Yousef after the 1993 WTC bombings) after he died in the WTC on 9/11. His personal files from his years of traveling around the world investigating al-Qaeda are were used as evidence in the lawsuit. The evidence includes documents unearthed in the headquarters of the Mukhabarat (Iraq's intelligence service) and information gleaned from the interrogation of both al-Qaeda and Iraqi prisoners. (Link below). It also quotes Vincent Cannistraro, the former CIA counter-terrorism chief, who stated in October 2000 that Iraq had been wanting to carry out terrorist attacks, and that the Iraqi military had been in contact with Osama bin Laden.

We know from these IIS documents that beginning in 1992 the former Iraqi regime regarded bin Laden as an Iraqi Intelligence asset. We know from IIS documents that the former Iraqi regime provided safe haven and financial support to an Iraqi who has admitted to mixing the chemicals for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. We know from IIS documents that Saddam Hussein agreed to Osama bin Laden's request to broadcast anti-Saudi propaganda on Iraqi state-run television. We know from IIS documents that a "trusted confidante" of bin Laden stayed for more than two weeks at a posh Baghdad hotel as the guest of the Iraqi Intelligence Service.

Thank you rn. I have just bookmarked this post as a result of your fine work.

What about the significance of the date of the first WTC explosion? I understand that the date of the explosion was the anniversary of the date that America attacked Iraqi positions expelling them from Kuwait. Have you heard that one?

Anybody who believes that saddam and OBL had no contacts or no common interests is either deluded or a democrat.
