MILAN, Sept 8 (AFP) - Mohammed Atta consulted Saddam Hussein prior to leading the suicide attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, according to Richard Perle, an advisor to the US defense secretary.

"Mohammed Atta met Saddam Hussein in Baghdad prior to September 11. We have proof of that, and we are sure he wasn't just there for a holiday," Perle told Italy's business daily "Il Sole 24 Ore".

"The meeting is one of the motives for an American attack on Iraq," added Perle, who is chairman of the Defense Policy Board and consultant to US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a leading advocate of an attack on Iraq.

"The main objective of the American administration is to avoid weapons of mass destruction falling into the wrong hands," said Perle.

I'd LOVE to see some of the liberal media flacks try to get thru basic with their makeup and hairdos intact. It would make for some VERY compelling television

They might smudge their nail polish - and that's just the guys!

No but we may have his DNA on Saddams blue dress. Is that enough proof?

Who gets to host it; the Marines or the Army (and can we force the reporters through anything beyond Basic)?

Nah; it's D'Asshole (think "Von" for the "D'" part) <VBG>.

Daschole will say that the evidence is inconclusive since Atta and Saddam could have merely been discussing their NFL picks.
