what are facts without context? a weird kind of dangling-participle?

Incase anyone forgot, Bin Laden wasn't behind the 9/11 attacks, it was a US/Israeli operation to turn the world against radical Islam, and it most certainly has worked, very well indeed.
"On Nov. 16, The Washington Post's Walter Pincus reported that the CIA has found "no evidence that Hussein sought to arm terrorists.""

Seekerof, you swallow this crap everytime, why?
This leak was obviously designed to boost support for the Iraq war, and the way the story has been presented in the US media, that is exactly what it will do, even though it is clearly based on disinformation.
In my opinion the only clear link between Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden is that they were both involved with the CIA.
The CIA are the biggest and most effective terrorists in the world, the bomb in Istanbul was (IMHO) a CIA operation, as was the Riyad blast, as was the bombing of the Italian police station and several more of the supposed al-qaeda attacks in recent months. All the bombings that are not solely against US/UK targets should be treated with suspicion, why would al-qaeda+Bathists fighters want to start a fight with the whole world when they only need to target the US/UK. They are weakening their own hand, not something that is in their own interests, however funnily enough something that is most certainly in the interest of the occupying powers. The bombing of the UN, the Shiite mosque and the Red Cross for example only reduce public support for the people fighting the US/UK and create sympathy within the country for the occupying powers.
The reasons for invading Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism or WMD, Seekerof, when are you going to accept this? This war was all about $$$$$$, and you know it!

Here is a US gov expert in the middle east, blasting Bush's policy on Iraq, this guy worked for the Pentagon until very recently.

""The justifications for that war were completely counter to everything that I had learned in that 20-odd years of government service working on the Middle East," Molan told Democracy Now!. "I was simply outraged by the twisting and turning of intelligence information that I had helped develop to what was clearly, to my mind, a preordained policy decision that I felt to be profoundly wrong. Nothing about this suggests that Saddam Hussein was anything but a brutal dictator. He was. But that's not why we went to war.""
