Regarding Abdul Rahman Yasin, Clinton knew about the sanctuary he got in Iraq. But they did not consider it necessary to go after him. He was a small fish. iNstead they wanted to go after the big fish. And that is what what those missile strikes against Osama was all about. That is an incredibly damning statement about Clinton. Yasin mixed the explosive used in the 1st WTC bombing. The big difference between that bombing and 911 is the number of lives lost - the intention was the same. BTW, Saddam provided Yasin a house and a salary. Richard Clarke wrote of Yasin ""The Iraqi government didn't cooperate in turning him over and gave him sanctuary, as it did give sanctuary to other terrorists." Clarke's wording implies the Clinton administration may have tried to get him turned over as they should have as he was under indictment in the US. And finally, the intelligence very clearly pointed to no connection of Iraq to 9/11, That's funny, Richard Clarke himself, noted a WMD connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda: January 23, 1999, Washington Post article in which Clarke defended the Clinton administration's August 20, 1998, cruise-missile strike on the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan. That mission avenged al Qaeda's demolition of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that August 7, which killed 224 individuals and injured more than 5,000. The Post quoted Clarke as "sure" that Iraqi experts there produced a powdered VX nerve gas component. According to the Post, Clarke "said that intelligence exists linking bin Laden to El Shifa's current and past operators, the Iraqi nerve gas experts and the National Islamic Front in Sudan." nationalreview.com
