[...] Al Queda, the Senator said that Al Queda and the invasion of Iraq were not related. That’s completely [...]

Salvage,

Like Scott said you knucleheads would not understand or believe anything President Bush says. Oh know you believe Al Gore who use massive amounts of electricity at his home and President Bush has a ranch that runs exclusively on alternative energy sources. Who is the expert? Salvage what color is the sky in your world?

also on Iraq, who the hell do these Democrats think they are?

Telling Iraq who they can and can’t do business with but also want to abandon this country to enemies? This is utterly outrageous

Yasin was the Iraqi who we looked for in Iraq post invasion and haven’t found. Yousef is in custody now but denies Iraqi sponsorship according to released testimony.

To be fair to salvage I actually think Yasin was grabbed by Saddam’s guys (the 93 WTC chemical mixer) and held to be used in a trade or a threat to the U.S. and I remain skeptical of Iraqi involvement in that attack though not in an al Qaeda – Iraq relationship.

LOL, Mata…I have no problem with a woman who speaks her mind, especially when it’s the truth.

You’re oh so welcome, and thank you for the kind words, SoCal Chris. However I apologize for myself today. I do have an “edge” and considerably less patient with humans than usual…. So far Salvage is getting just a smidgen of my general wrath. I shall endeavor to keep it in check, but think I’m losing the battle.

[Granted it’s from Wikipedia but all the points are sourced.]

I hate to break it to you, but I’m pretty sure that Wikipedia is left leaning in their facts. Getting their facts to be objective is not their objective.

By the way, I’m a Republican and I still support Pres. Bush, and still support the efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Curiously, though, I have also never been “polled” on my opinion. Hmmm…

[Did the MSM pick up on this? One would have thought this would be front page news even back them. But the media and anti-free-Iraq types had too much invested in their “Bush lied” rhetoric, and cried foul… stating the docs must be forgeries. To do otherwise would seriously affect their credibility. They were vested in perpetuating a lie that so many… like you… want to believe.]

Thanks, Mata, for your perceptiveness and ability to articulate the truth.

No regime ties? I’m interested to see comments on the Zimmerman Telegram post and thread.

btw…
“In March 2008, the Pentagon released its study of some 600,000 documents captured in Iraq after the 2003 invasion (see 2008 Pentagon Report). The study “found no ‘smoking gun’ (i.e., direct connection) between Saddam’s Iraq and al Qaeda.”[18]”
CLASSIC example of Wiki or any source using a half quote to market not only a half truth, but a fact opposite of what the entire report said. The report cited goes on to list numerous documented examples of ties between Saddam’s regime and AQ groups. The wording in cited refers only to the meetings and communications alleged by the Clinton Admin and others that were held between the regime leaders and AQ senior council members. Interestingly enough…there’s a doc showing that kinda connection right here in the very OP to this thread (to say nothing of the 1998 Clinton Admin UBL indictment [sec4btw]). Yeah, Wiki misled w that quote. Curious, before buying someone else’s opinion based on a misrepresented, false, half quote…did ya bother to even look at the report it talked about?

McVeigh had not commited a crime prior to be held on, Salvage. When he did, the US “removed” him and put him to death.

Had we known he was planning the OK bombing, he would have been removed sooner.

And I see Aye Chi came in with much the same thoughts.

The Saudi princes fund charities, of which some of found to be funneling cash to AQ in March of 2003. Rather like Aye Chi states, were they aware of this when contributing? Not likely, as they ostrazied OBL from their midst. They do not knowing pass funds to his cause.

I guess spelling, as well are reading, are not your forte either. Or did you just never know how to spell McVeigh’s name?
