Hey Peach...are these included in your original list or do I need to add them to my file? Thanks...you're the greatest!
Bookmarked -- great reference material.
They are included in my original list. I just thought I'd give a few examples of how people on the left are lying about this matter.
The MSM cannot hide what they say anymore!! No more memory holes for them to hide their hypocracy.
Another excellent blast-from-the-past post. We need to keep these old articles circulating. Throw them right in the rats' faces.
You might want to bookmark this too; it has as many articles about the connections as I've been able to find over the years:

When the press had their man in power they had no problem investigating the ties between Saddam and Bin Laden. Hypocrites, all of them.
Thanks! The evidence is overwhelming. Saddam was in cahoots with the terrorists.
I know we are not supposed to, and I will not, but I am DYING to post this on some DU "Iraq and 9/11 are not connected" thread.
Oh, man....how fast would that post get edited?

I HATE the media. With a passion.
