Moreover, Dick Morris lambastes Clinton for dropping the ball in the aftermath of the 1993 World Trade Center attack, a significant misstep that had dire consequences. He states, "Then there was Clinton's inability to investigate aggressively the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which meant that it wasn't until 1996 that we learned it was a bin Laden operation. So when the Sudan offered us bin Laden in 1995, we had no grounds to hold him, so we said basically, 'Osama who?' Had the first World Trade Center bombing been a fast-tracked investigation as it should have been, we would have known who and what he was by then." However, Morris presents a stilted picture. It's been reported that Sudan offered up Osama bin Laden on a few occasions, even after 1995. Intelligence expert Mansoor Ijaz avers that the US was afforded opportunities to grab bin Laden with Sudan's help between 1996 and 1998.
And the following is salient background information: According to Harvard educated Dr. Laurie Mylroie, an internationally recognized authority on Iraq and terrorism, the FBI initially believed that the 1993 WTC attack was ordered by Saddam Hussein in retribution for the Gulf War. In retrospect, we can see that this theory was only partially accurate. True, Ramzi Yousef orchestrated the 1993 WTC terror bombing and was a known Iraqi agent. However, he was also strongly linked with bin Laden's al-Qaeda group. And subsequent events are even more fascinating. Yousef's uncle, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, dubbed "the Kingpin of Al Qaeda", masterminded the September 11th strikes on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He, too, had connections with Iraq. Both Ramzi Yousef and his uncle Khalid Sheikh Mohammed are of Pakistani Baluch ethnicity, a group that had "long standing ties to Iraqi intelligence" according to Dr. Mylroie, who was also an advisor to former President Clinton. Mylroie refers to this as the "Baluch connection"

Put the blame where it belongs, on the Islamics.
I blame Clinton for sending jobs overseas. I can blame him for not trying to understand the dangers of Islam to humanity. But I can not believe that he knew the true evil that might come from people he allowed into our country.
I just do not believe it.

There is no Iraq-AlQueda connection and there never were any weapons of mass destruction.

From an interview with Stephen Hayes of the WEEKLY STANDARD, in FrontPageMagazine.com, 1/28/04 --
"...We have learned some interesting things since the end of the [Iraq] war, not the least of which is the support of the Iraqi regime for Abdul Rahman Yasin, an Iraqi native who mixed the chemicals for th 1993 World Trade Center building. Coalition forces found a document in Tikrit several months ago that indicates the former Iraqi regime has provided Yasin housing and a monthly stipend for nearly a decade. Dick Cheney has mentioned this on a couple of occasions, but it has otherwise gone unnoticed. Why?"...
The bigger question is why the Bush Administration hasn't been trumpeting little factoids like this. What is interesing in all of the leftist propaganda about there being no connection between Saddam and al-Qaeda, and the lack of WMDs, is that the Administration has never issued a formal report on either of these issues. I hope they do, sooner rather than later -- certainly well in advance of November.

NEVER FORGET
...It was during BILL CLINTON's Impeachment that he used the court transcripts of the Trial of 1993 WTC Bombing Mastermind Sheik OMAR RACHMEN...
...that named OSAMA bin LADEN as an unindicted co-conspirator...
...to justfy America's launching cruise missiles on his OSAMA's tents in Afghanistan...
...just so's BILL CLINTON could look "Presidential" on TV and then skate.
...Offers came BILL CLINTON's way to bring OSAMA bin LADEN here on a Silver Platter in 1995, 1996 and 2000 ...that he refused. We now know that it was in 1995 that OSAMA gave his permission to plan the Attacks of September 11, 2001.
...Funny, isn't it, how OSAMA bin LADEN was able to strike us so easily after the CLINTONS had left the White House..? Not really.
...Funny, isn't it, how the CLINTONS, JOHN KERRY and WALTER CRONKITE have always acted on behalf of America's enemies..?
NOT REALLY.
NEVER FORGET
