~From LBs thread~ Why don't you just go over there and read it for yourself? Oh! That's right....you tried that once and left after being shown that you couldn't hold up your end of a conversation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge. Benjamin Disraeli ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The "Historical Revisionism" going on forgets items like these. "In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the Government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq." The quote comes from the 1998 indictment usinfo.state.gov. of bin Laden and al Qaeda for the bombings of American embassies in Africa. As a famous Soviet dissident joke put it: "In the Soviet Union, the future is known; it's the past which is always changing." In the 1990s, President Clinton and his administration released numerous bits of intel and information on Bin Ladin and Saddam Hussein to the press. As a result, The New York Times, as well as Newsweek, and NPR each ran stories documenting his ties to Bin Ladin. Yesterday, the 9/11 commission confirmed those ties, and admonished the press for ignoring them. Was Saddam directly tied to 9/11? President Bush never said he was. But clearly, Iraq and Al Qaeda were quite cozy with each other. Something the press spent the past decade documenting when it benefited one administration, and the past three years chucking down the memory hole when it hindered another. eddriscoll.com.
