This oped reinforces the observation that the Rats and their Rino friends would do anything to make the Saddam Iraqi's appear to be innocent of 9/11 along with supposedly no WMDs and the buried attack on the WTC during the Clintoon administration.
Why would the Rats, their pet mediots and pet Rinos be so protective of the mass murderers of Iraq before 9/11 up to today?
There are two probable reasons:
1. The money they got from the Oil from Food Scandal and Opecker Thugs to keep Iraq out of the picture before 9/11 and after the first attacks on the WTC during the Clintoons rule of horror.
2. Their absolute hated of GW, which has controlled them since 2000.
GW and a few of his trusted cabinet members probably got an very top secret intel dump from a key ally after 9/11 implicating Saddam and other mass murdering Iraqis in both attacks on the WTC. GW and his admin can't disclose this data anymore than Roosevelt could disclose the code cracking data on the Japanese pre and post Pearl Harbor.
