There is no link between Saddam and 9-11, move along nothing to see here. (sarcasm..for those who need the note) :)

Ah, Spain ! What a great ally ! Way to go ! . . .

[RGSpincich]

Thanks for the ping, TK. The left is in denial on this issue.

[vishnu2]

Let's hope so.

C'mon, everyone knows that Saddam (who had a Koran commissioned written with his own blood) is "Secular" and therefore he'd never work with someone who is "Religious" like an Al Qaedan. Secular and Religious, never the twain shall meet, even if they have identical goals.

Also, Saddam would never ever lift a finger to injure us, not even through middle-men who would keep his hands clean (at least to the satisfaction of the Western Left), because he knows that Iraq would immediately be destroyed if he did. He knows that! Everyone knows he knows that. (We all know everything there is to know about Saddam's internal thought processes: what he knows, what he doesn't know...)

Also, this evidence, whatever it is, even if it's true, Isn't A Smoking Gun. Where's the proof??? I need a Perry Mason Moment on live television (with dramatic music in the background) proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Saddam has killed some American or another before I'm mentally prepared to act in my own self-defense.

(And so on...have I missed anything?)

Good thing I saw the tag line before I exploded with anger!

You and me both! GC, taglines are a bit subtle - try putting this up after such a post: </SARCASM>

[Trident/Delta]

They tell me the memory is first thing to go in old age...

I wish I could find that idiot that I was arguing with on FR who stated unequiviably that the Czech government had recanted that a meeting had taken place with Atta. Where the hell is that idiot now???.....

It also includes a new affirmation by the Czech government that Mohamed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 plotters, met an Iraqi intelligence officer, Ibrahim al-Ani, in Prague in April 2001. Some US officials have suggested this meeting did not happen. But in a signed statement dated 24 February, 2003, Hynek Kmonicek, the Czech ambassador to the UN, says his government 'can confirm that during the stay of Mohamed Atta ... there was contact with Mr al-Ani, who was on 22 April, 2001 expelled from the Czech Republic on the basis of activities not compatible with his diplomatic status [the usual euphemism for spying]'. Garzon's indictment says Galan was part of a cell which organized bank robberies on behalf of al-Qaeda, and which had supported the group around Atta financially and logistically

Semper Fi

Why isn't this thread 300+ posts by now?

Hark, do I sense a Star Wars connection here?

You can have video of Saddam and Bin-Laden talking about bombing New York and the anti-America crowd would say it was just a social call.

Or they would say it was a video that the US government made with look-a-likes in Arizona

I am stupid then! LOL

I admit idiot and garbage were among the "nice" words that were whirling around in my head!

Well I got there as did facedown...eventually!!

This prolonged pre-war has us all on edge.

And OJ is innocent, it was all a frame up by that neo-nazi Mark "Swastika" Fuhrman.

It wasn't me, but yes, the Czech government has given conflicting statements on the meeting. The important thing though, is that they have only made statements about the meeting, not presented any evidence (e.g. a photo). Since they didn't know Atta in April 2001 they would have had to figure out that it was Atta after 9/11. That requires evidence and so far they have chosen not to reveal any. Of course that doesn't mean there isn't any, but their allegations are spurious without it.

Can someone here verify that WTC I 's(1993) Ramzi Youssef, who together with KSM (Khalid Sheik Muhammed---A-Q ops chief), worked on the Multple Manila Airline Bomb plot ? And that Ramzi was clearly linked to Saddam? Or am I imagining things?

[facedown]

I am stupid then! LOL

Not in the least.

Jumpy, yes, as are all of us who understand how serious all of this is.

As (I think) Ben Franklin once said "Hope for the best and prepare for the worst and you'll never be disappointed."

Where did you find that picture and is it what Michael Savage is looking for? I only saw one or two of these right after 9-11 and never have seen them again.

Maybe he has this kind of picture, but can not get permission to use it on his show.

[Sandylapper]

Thanks, TexKat! We like Spain, don't we?

"And that Ramzi was clearly linked to Saddam?"

----

Laurie Mylroie said so and laid it all out in her book.

Here is an excerpt to a CNN interview with her:

MYLROIE: You can demonstrate to the high legal standard of beyond a reasonable doubt, which is used for criminal conviction, that Iraq was behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, by showing that Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of that bomb, was an Iraqi intelligence agent. I do that in "Study of Revenge." That bomb, in 1993, aimed to topple the north tower onto the south tower. Eight years later, someone came back and finished the job. Since Iraq was behind the first attack, it is suggestive of the point that Iraq was behind the second attack.

And here is a more detailed article also written by her about this:

"What idiot would write garbage like that?!"

That's exactly what I thought.....until I saw your tag line.
