Independent Iraqi journalists (there is such a thing now) are reporting the stories of officers in Saddam’s army who saw members of al Quaeda being trained in Iraq by the government and then saw some of them go into battle against US forces in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
“A few days later, about 100 trainees arrived. They were a mixture of Arabs, Arabs from the Peninsula [Saudi Arabia], Muslim Afghans, and other Muslims from various parts of the world. They were divided into two groups, the first one went to Al-Nahrawan and the second to Salman Pak, and this was the group that was trained to hijack airplanes. The training was under the direct supervision of major general (M. DH. L) [only identified by initials] who now serves as a police commander in one of the provinces. Upon the completion of the training most of them left Iraq, while the others stayed in the country through the last battle in Baghdad against the coalition forces.”
But remember, there was no justification for going to war against Iraq; it presented no imminent danger to the US; and there was no link between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein: at least according to the liberal media and political orthodoxy.My only question is why the White House doesn’t publicize these reports more. They must know this stuff already.
