Dan, lets get something straight right now. You keep making the straw man argument over and over that I say that Saddam didn't help in an attack on Saudi Arabia. What I have said, over and over again, is that there is no information that Saddam attacked Saudi Arabia. By virtue of the fact that no information is at hand of such intervention by Saddam, I said that Saddam didn't help UBL attack Saudi Arabia. I guess I come from the school of "innocent until proven guilty." I do not assert, and I believe that I have made this abundantly clear, that I have evidence that Saddam didn't assist UBL in an attack. Again...how could there be evidence of something that didn't happen? We get closer to the truth here. Dan, do you believe that Saddam aided UBL in an attack on Saudi Arabia? And as I requested before, do you have a link which supports that Saddam aired propaganda at the behest of UBL? Is this what you call an "operational relationship"? Do you deny that you have drawn a line between the airing of propaganda (which is still without substantiation) and the attack on Saudi Arabia? Perhaps you genetically can't process it when told that Osama said not long after this meeting (I paraphrase): "My job is to get help with our mission, and I've succeeded." " And, maybe the fact that some of our guys died in SAUDI ARABIA not long after the quoted above took place, isn't worthy of noting. In the previous post you called me a derogatory name, and in the above quote you blame my ancestors for some deficiency in linking the two assertions that you make without substantiation. When I quote you correctly you call me names: You A HOLE...but you've done good to get me quoted accurately. Yet you bastardize my quote and parenthetically add information that was not there: Re: "He took no action with respect to that suggestion (to help attack inside Saudi Arabia/elsewhere) by bin Laden." I guess that the parenthetical injection here suggests that I or you believe that Saddam assisted UBL in attacking "Saudi Arabia/elsewhere"? Interesting injection of what you believe into my quote. It does not go unnoticed that Bush did the same thing with respect to linking Saddam and UBL for the attack on 9-11. That 70% of the people in the US believed that to be the case... If you cannot see how you supported the notion of Saddam assisting UBL in attacking Saudi Arabia in your posts, then it's also understandable that you too might be one of the 70% that believed that Saddam assisted on 9-11, based on what the president and the administration said in their public statements. Then once the people were polled about whether they thought Saddam was involved and they were shown to have been mislead...the press asked Bush if there was evidence of Saddam being involved in 9-11...and as we know now the answer was no. So continue on with your trickery and straw man arguments. And lie some more about me saying that I have evidence about Saddam not being involved in attacking Saudi Arabia. For I have made it clear in this post, and many before, that my evidence that he did not assist rests on the lack of evidence that he did assist. Since you cannot prove an event that did not happen with a news story, I can not provide any link. But you must know that! Yet keep asking for one like a child asking for the moon. It is you that is claiming an operational relationship between Saddam and UBL. You asserted that Saddam aired propaganda for OBL and then suggested a link to an attack on Saudi Arabia/elsewhere. If you must make such assertions then please do us all a favor and provide substantiating links. Orca
