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

Posted on 09/05/2002 3:06:10 PM PDT by OKCSubmariner

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.

OKSub continually ignores the Mossad hand in the OKC bombing

I am sorry, but this comment goes right over my head. OKCSub is very effective in presenting facts, if you have any facts substantiating "the Mossad hand in the OKC bombing", I would be very interested in the factual evidence.

I think he is saying that the Mossad was actually responsible for the OKCBombing, so it could be blamed on the people from Elohim City.

Funny theory, considering nobody from Elohim City was ever arrested or charged in the case.

And the idea that OKCsubmariner is an "FBI stooge" is definitely the most ridiculous thing I've seen posted on FR this month.

We all need a good laugh on Friday nights, and I hope Pat gets one.

Note to rubbertramp: I think you better read a few more of Pat's posts before you make any more allegations like that. We would REALLY be in trouble if your charge was true!

Report: CIA Missed Chance to Nab Terrorist
NewsMax Wires
Monday, June 17, 2002
The Central Intelligence Agency passed up a prime opportunity in December to nab Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, a shadowy al-Qaeda operative who may have masterminded the Sept. 11 attacks, France's Journal du Dimanche reported Sunday.
The CIA initially planned to capture Mohammed in his alleged hideout in the Beirut suburbs of Lebanon, the French newspaper said. The area was reportedly a stronghold for terrorists in close contact with the al-Qaeda network, notably the Hezbollah.

But the attack -- supposed to have been carried out by U.S. special forces, in coordination with former Lebanese informers and secret service agents -- was reportedly aborted for a number of reasons, including CIA fears of the risk and high cost of the operation.

Mohammed was described by Le Journal as a Kuwaiti, who helped plan and finance the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington. An earlier report in the Los Angeles Times suggested that he may have spent time in Germany -- although German officials reportedly said they have no evidence of such a stay.

He remains at large, possibly somewhere between Iran and Pakistan, the French newspaper reported.

Last fall, according to Le Journal, Mohammed was linked only with plans to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993, along with a 1994 plan to blow up a dozen airplanes.

Meanwhile, the U.S. government's reward for information about Mohammed last fall --$2 million -- has since soared to $25 million, the newspaper said.

According to Le Journal, the CIA had prepared Mohammed's capture to the last detail. Cars had been hired for the operation. The Syrian government, which has a major say in Lebanese affairs, had been warned.

But in December, high-level CIA officers vetoed the operation, for fear of too much "serious collateral damage" -- particularly, chances that innocent civilians could be killed.

The CIA reportedly fretted too that its Lebanese intermediaries -- who apparently asked for a $1.5 million downpayment for the operation -- were too greedy.

Mohammed Atta met in Bagdad before 9/11 with Saddam Hussein according to Richard Perle of the Defense Advsiory board (story posted on FR yesterday).

Why isn't Bush making the case to the American people, to the UN and Europe that the US has the right of self defense agsinst Iraq given Iraq and Saddam roles in 9/11, OKC bombing and the 1993 WTC attack?

Why isn't Bush using Perl's info and the evidence posited in the lawsuit described by this article?

9/11 SUIT TIES SADDAM TO 10 YRS. OF AID FOR OSAMA

New York Post ^ | 9/09/02 | JOHN LEHMANN

Posted on 09/09/2002 1:05 AM Pacific by kattracks

September 9, 2002 -- Iraq sponsored Osama bin Laden's terrorists for 10 years leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks by supplying high-powered weapons, fake passports and training in airline hijackings, court papers say. Saddam Hussein's sons, Qusay and Uday Hussein, are portrayed as key players in the terror alliance, convincing their father that an Iraq-al Qaeda partnership was the most effective weapon in deflecting U.S. attempts to topple his regime and inflicting revenge for the humiliating Gulf War defeat.

Baghdad's relations with bin Laden had become so intimate in the months before the World Trade Center attack that a top Iraqi doctor, kidney specialist Mohammed Khayal, was dispatched to Afghanistan for three days in May 2001, to treat bin Laden's kidney problems, the papers say.

The civil suit against Iraq, filed last week on behalf of 1,400 victims of the Sept. 11 attacks and their families, relies on confidential briefings by ex-CIA officers, interviews with Iraqi defectors, al Qaeda members' testimonies at the African embassy bombing trial and Iraqi and American press reports, according to Manhattan law firm Kreindler and Kreindler.

Before U.N. inspectors were thrown out in 1998, they suspected Iraq was training Islamic terrorists at a secret camp, known as Salman Pak, where simulated hijackings were allegedly carried out in a Boeing 707 fuselage.

U.S. intelligence officials cited in the $1 trillion lawsuit believe Iraqi intelligence agents had direct contact with at least two Sept. 11 hijackers, Zaid Samir Jarrah and Marwan al-Shehhi, in the United Arab Emirates in the spring of 2000, only weeks before the pair arrived in America.
