Q One question for you both. Do you believe that there is a link between Saddam Hussein, a direct link, and the men who attacked on September the 11th?

THE PRESIDENT: I can't make that claim.

Stop now before you TOTALLY discredit yourself.

Too late, already done.

Don't go confusing this poor boy with facts. That's not fair. You can only use "feelings" and leftist media sources, don't 'cha know.

BTW, great links. thx

[zip]

FS, this is what is known as giving sources. Not changing the subject but actually giving sources. Try it sometime, you might like it.

I actually laughed so loudly that my wife came running in to see if I was OK. Loved the launch. thx

"He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends." - Oscar Wilde

Hey cw, Is this why he's here, looking for enemies?

[cwb]

Well...he's certainly not making any friends:>)

[Quix]

If there's not a direct link,

it was only because Saddddammmnnn

was clever enough to make it very indirect.

His intent; his promised revenge for the first Iraq war; his megalomania etc. are all plenty indicative to me.

I think only idiots would believe there was 0.00% link.

One more post on this thread to have the documentation here to refute the lies of FS. Thanks to Howlin for finding this article. Please note the date was March, 2003, as we have correctly noted and you, FS, lied about:

Some Evidence on Iraq Called Fake

Saturday, March 8, 2003; Page A01

A key piece of evidence linking Iraq to a nuclear weapons program appears to have been fabricated, the United Nations' chief nuclear inspector said yesterday in a report that called into question U.S. and British claims about Iraq's secret nuclear ambitions.

[Howlin]

To me, the most important part of that article is this:

A spokesman for the IAEA said the agency did not blame either Britain or the United States for the forgery. The documents "were shared with us in good faith," he said.

[weegee]

This zot sure has been the death of 1,000 cuts.

[weegee]

Trolls need sleep too. I think he said that he was posting from work.

Must get lonely on the night shift.

Psst. He works in tv. Ask him "What's the frequency, Kenneth".

[backhoe]

Appreciate your comments- thanks!

[weegee]

Maybe this is his source:

Lumpy Reifenstahl wouldn't lie... and if he did he would have a good reason for it (like to make a more persuasive argument).

[weegee]

Or maybe he got word from Barbra(sic) Streisand:

"Sadam Hussein did not bomb the World Trade Center."

[weegee]

Should we be debunking the Iraq nuclear "lie" or the Saddam/9-11 "lie"? FS changed tactics in the course of his own vanity.

I found these threads in a FR search but haven't read through them.

Some things to mull over.

There was this interesting observation from Shermy with regards to Iraq:
No kidding it had to do with 9/11. It energized Bush to finish the Gulf War. They talked about it within one week of 9/11. Iraq was a drain on us for 12 years, maybe we didn't think about it much, but the govt. had to deal with it daily.

"A federal judge in New York yesterday awarded damages against the government of Iraq after ruling that the families of two victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks had shown "albeit barely" that Iraq provided material support to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda."

9/11 Bombshell: Judge Rules Saddam Trained Hijackers [Salman Pak] (Newsmax - Posted on 05/09/2003 5:47 AM PDT)

"In a bombshell finding virtually ignored by the American media, a U.S. District Court judge in Manhattan ruled Wednesday that Salman Pak, Saddam Hussein's airplane hijacking school located on the outskirts of Baghdad, played a material role in Sept. 11's devastating attacks on America."
"...according to courtroom testimony by three of the camp's instructors, the facility was a virtual hijacking classroom where al Qaeda recruits practiced overcoming U.S. flight crews using only small knives - a terrorist technique never employed before 9/11. At least one veteran of Salman Pak, Sabah Khodad, has maintained that the 9/11 hijackers were actually trained by Saddam's henchman. He told PBS in Oct. 2001 that the World Trade Center attack 'was done by graduates of Salman Pak.'"

The above article from Newsmax does have links to other sources of information on this lawsuit and court findings tying Iraq to 9/11.

Wolfowitz Bombshell: Saddam Behind 9/11 Attacks and OKC Bombing (Newsmax - Posted on 06/01/2003 3:40 PM PDT)
Again, other articles are linked within this Newsmax article including the full interview (which was on another site). Newsmax may be unreliable but don't discount all "Newmax" threads because there may be some other information in them.

My FR matches just came from an archive search of Saddam and 9 11. Some of the topics discussed in these articles could be searched with other terms for other news sources. This is just a crude attempt to dredge up the articles that show some connections between Iraq and the 9-11 hijackings.

I love Free Republic. There is so much information here that noone, not one person, can get away with misinformation. I really appreciate you finding the links and saving me all of the research time.

I still don't understand FS still "being among the living" this morning. oh well..He's one of the "I will ignore your questions and just change the subject" crowd. Easy to spot 'em.
