you've got to know that at this point, after we've bombed the hell out of the place and there are no weapons to be found anywhere, and after getting virtually nothing from any of the "fugitives" we have captured from the iraqi cabinet, that this kind of thing seems really weak.
I'm as upset about 911 as the next person, but lets not make complete fools of ourselves on the world stage (not that we haven't already) trying to concoct things like this.
If there were real, unrefuted evidence of a link between OBL and Saddam Hussein we would have more than this, now.
Intriguingly, the Iraqis talk about sending back an oral message to bin Laden, perhaps aware of the risk of a written message being intercepted. However, the documents do not mention if any meeting took place between bin Laden and Iraqi officials.
yeah perhaps. Or perhaps there was nothing to send back, nothing transpired.
Perhaps aware of the sensitivities of the subject matter, Iraqi agents at some point clumsily attempted to mask out all references to bin Laden, using white correcting fluid. The dried fluid was removed to reveal the clearly legible name three times in the documents.
Sounds very official. Give me a break! Maybe a temp office worker blocked out OBLs name. Or maybe OBLs name isn't even there, kindof like WMDs weren't even there.
You can't claim a smoking gun because somebody had a meeting with somebody else. There needs to be something more. |
