Iraq was a useful base for anumber of terrorist groups, Abu Nidal, many Palestians, etc. Lots of training facilites, one with an airplane fuselage. Also, Saddam was the one providing $25,000 to families of suicide bombers. Al Queda was not involved because of philosphical disagreements. Post invasion, Syria seems to have gone quiet, Libya has come over, and even the Iranians are having second thoughts. *************** Interesting that Strafor has generally been critical of the GWB policies and actions, at times maybe a bit shrill (in a diplomatic/academic way).

Hi q, but here I think they miss the ongoing I agree and was just pointing this out earlier on iHub.. Hi A, No argument on the accuracy and as to tanks and positioning I might borrow Michael's <yawn> ... I was not making a moral judgement on the war in Iraq, simply that to many eyes it is completely irrelevant to 911 whereas Stratfor is basically taking the position (Whitehouse position) that it is completely part and parcel. Obviously it is to the Whitehouse but to my and many other's minds this is only an incorrect assumption in Stratfor's argument. investorshub.com regards Spots...
