Saddam was a 'liberal' Sunni who was secular. A Whahhabi Sunni like OBL would hate a man like Saddam almost as much as he would hate an American." I just showed, that Bin Laden in 1998 did indeed place Iraq, on "his topline talking points." OBL specifically mentions Iraq as one of his major complaints, and reasons for his declaration of a war against the United States. I understood what you posted. In spite of what bin Laden said in 1998, I don't think Iraq was a major issue for him then. Repeatedly, he was and continues to be more concerned with the US presence in "the holy land on the Peninsula". However, I do think Iraq has become a major issue for him now. Further, since I have posted articles mentioning that the output of the sun is increasing, and that other planets are getting hotter, it would not be a stretch to accept that global warming is "getting worse". It didn't sound that way when you posted the following: Message 19419469
