ABC News Declares Link between Bin Laden and Iraq Part 2
Media Research Center ^ | 1/14/1999 | ABC News

Posted on 10/12/2004 11:41:15 AM PDT by Time is now

In a story aired in a prime time news magazine show on Thursday, January 14, 1999, then-ABC News correspondent Sheila MacVicar reported how a few months after the embassy bombings in Africa and U.S. retaliation against Sudan, bin Laden “reaches out to his friends in Iraq and Sudan.” MacVicar trumpeted how “ABC News has learned that in December, an Iraqi intelligence chief, named Farouk Hijazi, now Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, made a secret trip to Afghanistan to meet with bin Laden. Three intelligence agencies tell ABC News they cannot be certain what was discussed, but almost certainly, they say, bin Laden has been told he would be welcome in Baghdad.”

FREE REPUBLIC MEMBERS should call ABC and demand a reairing of this show to clear up the matter. It is reasonable that they stand by their report. WE should all email them and ASK they replay this show since there is confusion and they have the facts to back up the ties with bin Ladena and Iraq.

It would certainly ensure a Bush landslide, but ABC doesn't want to be held responsible for that.

ABC news will soon have to cover their own funeral (the reelection of Bush is the burial of liberalism).

I sugggest they invite Danny Rather to be the guest homilist. Maybe he can sing a hymn, don some cowboy boots then leap into the grave.

They are dead

BUMP BUMP BUMP!!!!

Play this for anyone who will listen. Send the links to everyone you can. This confirms two indisputable truths:

1) Hussein and OBL absolutely worked together.
2) ABC News will stop at nothing, including burying their own reporting, to get Kerry into the White House.

Spread the word. This is crucial.

Of course there is a connection. Our President knows what he is doing.

Kerry/Edwards are CLUELESS
