It Happened in Baghdad
9-11, Oklahoma City—You Name It

So maybe the Iraqis didn't buy uranium in Niger. But we can still blame them for everything else—from 9-11 and the Oklahoma City bombing to Eric Rudolph's alleged attacks on abortion clinics. Consider the testimony of the American Enterprise Institute's Laurie Mylroie, who was considered credible enough to be an expert witness before the 9-11 Commission last week.

The commission, which has been complaining that Bush won't turn over vital documents, is looking into the circumstances behind the World Trade Center attack. "To defeat and destroy our enemy, we must understand more than the crimes it already committed," the commission chairman, former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean, said last week. "We must understand what drives and motivates it, the source of its power, the resources at its command, its internal strengths and weaknesses."

At last Wednesday's public hearing, Mylroie, who at one time was a consultant to the Department of Defense, said she thinks the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, a botched plot hatched in the Philippines to blow up a dozen American airliners, and 9-11 all were the work of Iraqi intelligence. Under this theory, the Iraqis faked intelligence files in Kuwait to create false identities for their key agents, including master terrorist Ramzi Yousef, who then were dispatched to the U.S. As for Al Qaeda, Mylroie contended that Saddam and bin Laden were in it together but that the Iraqi intelligence apparatus was the key. Bin Laden on his own never could have put together the attacks within the U.S., said Mylroie. Only operatives from an actual nation would have the knowledge and resources to do so. Her evidence is tenuous and circumstantial, but she claimed authenticity on grounds it was embraced by Israeli spooks and the former head of the New York FBI office.

1. She's certainly onto ONE thing, at least...

"Only operatives from an actual nation would have the knowledge and resources to do so"

That's RIGHT, missy. Very observant. Maybe one day you're going to wake the f*** up and realize it was not Iraq. It was the United States and Saudi Arabia.
