Agent Trick In Columbia Could Have Been Used To Get Saddam
2008-07-04 01:00:00 I happened on this CNN website news headline reporting that the agents who rescued the Columbia hostages used "old-fashioned trickery" by pretending to be part of the FARC, then leading the band to safety, rather than where the hostages thought they were going, to meet international leaders. That's fantastic. But my question is why could we not have done that in Iraq? I've long believed we didn't need to have a big military effort to do this; that we could send people to embed into the culture and work their way in. In my view, the effort of the Columbian rescuers gives yet another reason why we should not have invaded Iraq, let alone started the Iraq War we're still in.
The lie is now exposed again: Saddam was harboring and aiding al-Quieda ter
2008-06-10 18:44:00 A great article in the Weekly Standard, today, by Thomas Joscelyn that should put to rest all the naysaysers about how involved Saddam was in terror. He lists several points of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s so called “phase two report” that I’ve mentioned here in the past. Then says he: These conclusions should not be surprising. In his book At the Center of the Storm, former Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet provided a number of details concerning the safe haven al Qaeda members received in Saddam’s Iraq. For example, Tenet wrote that two of Ayman al-Zawahiri’s top operatives, Thirwat Shihata and Yussef Dardiri, received safe haven in Baghdad. Tenet says that there was “concern that these two might be planning operations outside Iraq.” The first report on the uses of prewar intelligence published by the Senate Intelligence Committee in July 2004 also found that Zarqawi freely roamed around Iraq and Saddam’s ...

Egyptian Politician: Saddam My Hero
2008-04-16 00:15:00 Following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian MP Hamadein Sabahi, which aired on Al-Mihwar TV on April 5, 2008. Hamadein Sabahi: and Israel" href="http://www.memritv.org/cl-ip/en/1740.htm">For me, Saddam Hussein was an Arab national hero in the struggle against America and Israel. By no means was he a model democratic ruler. Like all Arab rulers, his reign was full of violations of human rights. He didn't invent anything in this respect, by the way. Let me tell you, I was brought up as a Nasserist, and I am proud of this, but I was one of the harshest critics of Gamal Abd Al-Nasser and his state, when it came to human rights. Neither Saddam Hussein nor any of the Arab leaders is a democratic ruler worthy of being viewed as a model or being praised for his democracy. I have said this many times, before and after Saddam Hussein's death. But that autocratic, totalitarian, and tyrannical ruler, Saddam Hussein, met his death with courage and honor, that absolved all the sins he...

Jim McDermott: "We Don't Mind Being Used" by Saddam Hussein
2008-03-27 17:41:00 Looks like one of the Representatives from my home state is a fucking idiot: Thompson and McDermott would have us believe that they visited a sworn enemy of the United States -- one who had tried to assassinate a former president and declared that the "Mother of all Battles" had never ended -- without doing even the most basic research about who was funding their trip? That's hard to believe. And Bonior, who was from Michigan and had taken money from al Khafaji before, had no idea that he was backed by Saddam Hussein? When I spent a week reporting in Michigan for a story on Iraqi exiles, virtually every Iraqi I spoke to told me about al Khafaji and his dirty money. Is is possible that nobody ever mentioned this to Bonior, who recently chaired John Edwards' presidential campaign, before he traveled to Iraq with al Khafaji? Again, hard to believe. In any case, they knew well that they would be used as propaganda tools before they left. This is how we put it in a piece on the trip b...

US: Saddam Paid for Lawmakers' Iraq Trip
2008-03-27 05:26:00 Saddam Hussein's intelligence agency secretly financed a trip to Iraq for three U.S. lawmakers during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. An indictment unsealed in Detroit accuses Muthanna Al-Hanooti, a member of a Michigan nonprofit group, of arranging for three members of Congress to travel to Iraq in October 2002 at the behest of Saddam's regime. Prosecutors say Iraqi intelligence officials paid for the trip through an intermediary. At the time, the Bush administration was trying to persuade Congress to authorize military action against Iraq. The lawmakers are not named in the indictment but the dates correspond to a trip by Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan and Mike Thompson of California. None was charged and Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said investigators "have no information whatsoever" any of them knew the trip was underwritten by Saddam. Pretty damning things. However, who is this "M...
Pentagon finds no link between al Qaeda & Saddam Hussein...then tries to hi
2008-03-27 00:00:00 This story came out last week and is truly a pathetic attempt at censorship by our government: The Bush Administration apparently does not want a U.S. military study that found no direct connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda to get any attention. This morning, the Pentagon cancelled plans to send out a press release announcing the report's release and will no longer make the report available online. The report was to be posted on the Joint Forces Command website this afternoon, followed by a background briefing with the authors. No more. The report will be made available only to those who ask for it, and it will be sent via U.S. mail from Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia. It won't be emailed to reporters and it won't be posted online. One Pentagon spokesman's excuse for not putting it up on the website, as originally planned, was that initial press reports made it too "politically sensitive." Well, no duh! And yet the report, who's executive summary can be...

News: Life in Baghdad Since Saddam
2008-03-17 23:41:00 Five years after the US invasion, no one misses Saddam, but some Baghdadis are nostalgic for the relative freedom and stability they had before the Americans came.Saddam's 24-year reign of terror ended in spring 2003. What followed, say Iraqis, was a brief period of freedom and prosperity before their nation fell apart.The situation in Iraq on the eve of the anniversary of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" has both opponents and supporters of the American military campaign puzzled. The body of a Catholic archbishop is found near the northern city of Mosul, and yet the US embassy in Baghdad is holding a flea market as if it were peacetime.The United States has been in Iraq longer than it fought in World War II. Only a quarter of the US citizens knows 4,000 American soldiers were killed in Iraq. According to Joseph Stiglitz, winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in economics, the war has already cost the country at least $3 trillion.Der Spiegel published an interesting article with reflections on "...
