Cobalt, re: "Well, certainly if you're going to limit "9/11 terrorist" to the hijackers who blew up with the planes, the answer is that there is no known link between Saddam and these 18 men.
But the ordinary use of the term means Al Qaeda.
If you refuse to acknowledge that Zawahari is/was a key player in Al Qaeda and that Al Qaeda was responsible for 9/11 and that Saddam allowed Zawahiri to operate a terrorist training camp for Al Qaeda in Iraq, then you're ignoring the data furnished to you and the consensus on these issues..."
Good thinking.
Also, using that same logic, the 9/11 hijackers traveled in the US, some with passports issued by US authorities at a time when the agency in charge of anti-terrorism was aware of their terrorist connections, they trained to fly jets in US flight schools under suspicious circumstances, and they used American owned airplanes as weapons, therefor it is indisputable that the US, the American owned airlines and, in fact, you as a taxpaying American citizen, have ties to those men.
Would you prefer that your family be rocketed, bombed, shot, raped and beaten, forced to live without power and sanitation, or do you have some other form of punishment in mind? Ed |
