I am not quite sure I understand what you are saying, but let me guess and correct me if I am misunderstanding your point. If you are saying that dictators and terrorists make threats and promises to kill us all the time I would agree with that.

Saddam and sons were fascinated with American products,porn,movies,etc. as found in their palaces and love nests. I am sure he thought the Sinatra reference was clever.In Iraq, because of the time warp they were in compared to America, what sounds silly to us is normal big dictator or terrorists talk to them. None of what they say sounds like a conversation you would hear in America.

I don't see how you can read that state sponsored article just a few months before 9/11 and think it's just the standard rhetoric because it points to too many things that did occur on 9/11. Those 9/11 families won their case against Saddam/Iraq for a reason, but that's just my opinion. I gotta go get a life now because I've been on FR all night. Ha. Have a good day.

How could one find the 'references" and not believe that they forewarned of 9/11?

It's very simple. Look back in Iraqi public circuit output and you will find threats against everyone and everything. Same with Cuba, DPRK, etc.

It's like the line from "On The Beach;" "Sit enough monkeys in front of enough typewriters and eventually, one will write the Gettysburg Address." (paraphrased)

Backward looks, called retro-analysis is dangerous. For example, did you know that every serial killer in American history both ate mashed potatoes as a child AND once saw a fatal car wreck, live on on TV? Did you know that?

Proves mashed potatoes and watching car wrecks turns you into a serial killer, doesn't it.

BTW, Just before the Normandy landings, one Sunday, the "London Times" crossword puzzle had the words Sword, Omaha, Gold and Overlord as correct answers in the puzzle.

All coincidence.
