Saddam harbored terrorists (including AQ) who had killed Americans The first AQ attack on the US was actually the 1993 WTC bombing. It was masterminded by Ramzi Yousef, cousin of Khalid Shah Mohammed, the AQ leader who planned 9/11. 9/11 was patterned on Yousef's "Operation Bojinka" plan - a foiled plan to hijack and explode 12 US airliners over the Pacific in the '90's. Yousef entered the US on an Iraqi passport. One of his comrades, Abdul Rahman Yasin, indicted for mixing the chemicals used in the first WTC bombing, fled to Baghdad and was given sanctuary and a government stipend there. Saddam also gave sanctuary to Khala Khadar al-Salahat, a deputy to Abu Nidal, who furnished Libyan agents with the semtex to blow up Pan Am 103 in 1988. He was caught by US Marines in Baghdad last April. Saddam also gave sanctuary to Abu Abbas who masterminded the Achille Lauro hijacking. Abbas was also captured by US forces in Iraq and recently died in custody. Saddam also gave sanctuary to Abu Nidal, who masterminded dozens of attacks that killed over 400 people, including 10 Americans. Saddam also gave sanctuary to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a key AQ leader who was injured by American bombing in Afghanistan and who fled to Iraq and received medical care there. He is behind the October 2000 murder of US AID official Lawrence Foley in Amman and is now running much of the resistance movement to the US and to Iraqi democracy.

Chinu. You said....." That is my point. Since they are spread out in several countries, Bush cannot fight it alone. He needs to cooperate with other countries such as France and Germany. "...... Many times in the media and just yesterday during 9/11 testimony it was stated that President Bush Has put together the largest coalition of countries ever to fight the war on islam terrorism ....90 countries and all of these countries are sharing intelligence. Is this co-operation in your mind? IMO. if you and your party want to hate President Bush that is your business but his ability to kill radical islam terrorists should not be one of your reasons. So as I have said in earlier posts because they have been able to take advantage of our democratic freedoms and slither their way into civilized countries it therefore is not practical to send troops into these countries to flush them out and kill them now is it. So President Bush is fighting islam terrorism in the only and correct way possible...Right? It was interesting to here Albright yesterday blame the military for the democratic leaderships failure to kill bin hiding.
