You'll have to ask Larry Klayman.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Nice to see the President at that time was on top of this (or someone) and doing something to protect our National Security. CLinton legacy: the dream lives on.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I will. At his next fundraiser I attend.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Not to mention Blowback Bush!

In reference to what?

[VOA]

An editorial ran in The Wall Street Journal a couple of weeks after 9-11.
It included lots of short condensates of articles all but saying Saddam and
Osama were frat brothers.

Now the press/media can't run fast enough from what they were all saying before 9-11.

Bump!

Nice to see the President at that time was on top of this (or someone) and doing something to protect our National Security.

And has spoken up to make sure Americans realize the facts and backed our current president...

I have gone back to my Google search on "Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein 1999" (Used Advanced Search without the quotes).

Here is a lengthy report by Laurie Mylroie from February 10, 1999 which references a compilation of news reports from that timeframe:

OSAMA BIN LADIN AND IRAQ

Excerpts:

Vincent Cannistraro, ( former Chief of Counterterrorism Operations for the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, has suggested a very sensible and quite clever explanation for what was going on at al-Shifa--why it turned out to be a pharmaceutical factory; why the US had compelling evidence linking it to VX; and why it can't be found now. When US officials were obliged to defend their decision to attack the al-Shifa plant, after the Aug 20 strike, they revealed an Iraqi link to al-Shifa, as reported, for example, in the NYT Aug 25. US officials also revealed the existence of other sites in Khartoum thought to be associated with Iraq and VX production. Clinton chose al-Shifa as a target, because it was the only VX-related site not near a populated area.

A senior Iraqi intelligence official, Farouk Hijazi, newly appointed as Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, did visit Osama bin Ladin in Afghanistan in December, as several of those articles reported. There has been more reporting on bin Ladin and Iraq. All of it included the suggestion that Iraq is coordinating with bin Ladin on CBW terrorism. The Italian paper, Corriere della Sera, reported Feb 1, "Terrorist cells belonging to the network organized by Osama bin Laden . . . are ready to go into action in the countries of the Persian Gulf and Europe. According to a confidential report, the list of targets is ready. It was agreed in Kandahar (Afghanistan) 21 December by Osama himself and Farouk Hijazi. .

~snip~

The New York Post, Feb 1, reported, "Saddam Hussein-battered, humiliated and increasingly isolated-plans to resort to terrorism in revenge for US airstrikes against his country. . . US officials say the CIA has received 'credible and reliable' intelligence reports that Saddam is forging alliances with some of the Middle East's most bloodthirsty terrorists-including Osama Bin Ladin and Abu Nidal-as part of an apparently new campaign to strike American targets and possibly destablise Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. . . . US officials are concerned about the possibility that Saddam could not only help with funding and logistics for Bin Ladin's far-flung network, . . . but he could also help the group acquire chemical and biological weapons."

In reference to # 2 "blowjob bill"

Blowback Bush

As in when all the Bush Arab conglomerate blows back!

"WHY AMERICA (& THE WORLD) CANNOT SURVIVE ANOTHER CLINTON
(INDEED, IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT WE ARE GOING TO SURVIVE THE FIRST ONE,)"


A sobering and true statement!

Thanks for the post that sheds light on 'what did he know and when did he know it'. Our country has been hung out to dry by this evil couple. The most disturbing part of the excrement left by the Clintons is what we don't know....yet.

[windchime]

Thanks for your contributions to this thread, cyncooper.

This is new information to most of us because WJBC kept us distracted with his shenanigans. Knowing that was his MO while other events were taking place, I worked at keeping up with what was going on outside his tawdry little world. Missed these reports entirely!

Here's CNN in 1999:

Bin Laden reportedly leaves Afghanistan, whereabouts unknown

February 13, 1999

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.

[cyncooper]

And here's ABC:

Sharing Efforts in Weapons?

(As I've been on the computer looking these articles up I've heard some references on tv about how George W. Bush made up a relationship between bin Laden and Iraq out of whole cloth. Can't we even get the record clear that at the very least it was widely suspected years ago?)

Thanks for finding and posting this incredible link re $oddomite and Ben Laden.

Saddam link to Bin Laden

By Julian Borger in Washington Saturday February 6, 1999 The Guardian

Saddam Hussein's regime has opened talks with Osama bin Laden, bringing closer the threat of a terrorist attack using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, according to US intelligence sources and Iraqi opposition officials.

The key meeting took place in the Afghan mountains near Kandahar in late December. The Iraqi delegation was led by Farouk Hijazi, Baghdad's ambassador in Turkey and one of Saddam's most powerful secret policemen, who is thought to have offered Bin Laden asylum in Iraq.

[cyncooper]

Radio Free Europe:

Afghanistan: Bin Laden's Whereabouts Unknown

February 17, 1999

Excerpt:

Unconfirmed reports, however, say bin Laden could be heading for Iraq, Yemen, or Pakistan, where he has extensive contacts. Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein offered bin Laden asylum last month.

[cyncooper]

Isn't it amazing how many who know better act like George W. Bush made up a possible (and I say possible, while thinking it probable) connection between bin Laden and Hussein?

It makes me sick. I am seeing names that currently say the idea is ridiculous, who were saying in 1999 it was likely.

See Vincent Cannistraro, for one.

[Grampa Dave]

Backhoe on his thread commented that the internet will be the death of the DemonicRat party.

They can no longer lie about what happened in the past and get by with it.

We go to the Internet and do a simple Google or Yahoo search and find 50 ways to prove that they are lying.

Yet ABCNNBCBS and the left wing print media ignore this data and run with the Rat's lies and mantras. They are truly arrogant, and that arrogance will result in their downfall.
