Re: "Wrong. Al Qaida did not exist in 1993."
NOT! Wrong, yes it did.
"...al-Qaeda which was formed by Osama bin Laden in 1988. Bin Laden wished to extend the conflict to nonmilitary operations in other parts of the world.."
en.wikipedia.org
"In approximately 1989, bin Laden and co-defendant Muhammad Atef founded "Al Qaeda," " an international terrorist group ... which was dedicated to opposing non-Islamic governments with force and violence."
"Bin Laden established a headquarters for Al Qaeda in Khartoum, Sudan, in 1991, and established a series of businesses, including two investment companies, an agricultural company, a construction business and a transportation company, all of which were, "operated to provide income and support to Al Qaeda and to provide cover for the procurement of explosives, weapons and chemicals and for the travel of Al Qaeda operatives."
Re: "The first bombiong attacks of Al Qaida were about 1995."
NOT! Wrong.
"Al Qaeda members "provided military training and assistance to Somali tribes opposed to the United Nations' intervention in Somalia. ... On October 3 and 4, 1993, in Mogadishu, Somalia, persons who had been trained by Al Qaeda (and trainers who had been trained by Al Qaeda) participated in an attack on United States military personnel serving in Somalia as part of Operation Restore Hope, which attack resulted in the killing of 18 United States Army personnel."

Re: "In fact he (Saddam) may have never done any (terrorism)."
You again, are a hoot. He PAID suicide bombers. He tortured and murdered Iraqis. He terrorized another country called Kuwait.
Re: "If he did though it weas minor stuff compared to Bush's pals in Saudi Arabia."
Perhaps you, just maybe, are not right. Again. Ya think?
