PNAC on 911-Report(Iraq/Al-Qaida link)

[LiberalVoice]

According to the September 11 report:

With the Sudanese regime acting as intermediary, Bin Ladin himself met with senior Iraqi intelligence officer in Khartoum in late 1994 or early 1995. Bin Ladin is said to have asked for space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but there is no evidence that Iraq responded to this request ... the ensuing years saw additional efforts to establish connections. (p.61)

In March 1998, after Bin Ladin’s public fatwa against the United States, two al Qaeda members reportedly went to Iraq to meet with Iraqi intelligence. In July, an Iraqi delegation traveled to Afghanistan to meet first with the Taliban and then with Bin Ladin. Sources reported that one, or perhaps both, of these meetings was apparently arranged through Bin Ladin’s Egyptian deputy, Zawahiri, who had ties of his own to the Iraqis. (p.66)

Similar meetings between Iraqi officials and Bin Ladin or his aides may have occurred in 1999 during a period of some reported strains with the Taliban. According to the reporting, Iraqi officials offered Bin Ladin a safe haven in Iraq. Bin Ladin declined, apparently judging that his circumstances in Afghanistan remained more favorable than the Iraqi alternative. The reports describe friendly contacts and indicate some common themes in both sides’ hatred of the United States. But to date we have seen no evidence that these or the earlier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship. Nor have we seen evidence indicating that Iraq cooperated with al Qaeda in developing or carrying out any attacks against the United States. (p.66)

I wonder how much of this bullshit is true....It scares me how much the PNAC will make up.

1. The 911 Commission found NO credible evidence to back this....

...line of "reasoning" by the NeoCon PNAC. None of the intelligence agencies, except probably the Neocon Pentagon-based OSP, was able to provide ANY evidence to support what FratBoy, Big Dick and the rest of the NeoCon Junta have been lying about for years.

They can't back down on this because they know that their credibility is just about gone as far as Iraq is concerned.

PNAC can only be read if you understand up-front that it was prepared by people willing to say and do anything to achieve their political, economic, and military objectives. Two words sum up their goals, and they are "Global Domination".

2. Yes. When I want a sound assessment of Iraq's ties to terra,

I know I can count on the good folks at PNAC.



PNAC^TM - keeping the empire scary, to serve you better!

I'm sure, in the next paragraph, they draw implications from the report that bin Laden met a CIA agent in a Dubai hospital in July 2001:

"Two months before September 11 Osama bin Laden flew to Dubai for 10 days for treatment at the American hospital, where he was visited by the local CIA agent, according to the French newspaper Le Figaro.

"The disclosures are known to come from French intelligence which is keen to reveal the ambiguous role of the CIA, and to restrain Washington from extending the war to Iraq and elsewhere.

"Bin Laden is reported to have arrived in Dubai on July 4 from Quetta in Pakistan with his own personal doctor, nurse and four bodyguards, to be treated in the urology department. While there he was visited by several members of his family and Saudi personalities, and the CIA.

"The CIA chief was seen in the lift, on his way to see Bin Laden, and later, it is alleged, boasted to friends about his contact. He was recalled to Washington soon afterwards."

3. Fuck Bush. Fuck Cheney. Fuck A$$croft. Fuck Rumsfield.

I really love how the french(who are seen in the eyes of conservative americans as weak in compared to the strong manly man that is america)can get this intelligence and that Washington will deny this emphatically. It just boils my britches! :)
