Al Qaeda decided long ago that its primary target in America would be the WTC towers. The 1993 bombing obviously was a direct attempt to bring down the towers, but it did not work. The OKC bombing was a test run to see if a truck bomb could be built big enough to bring down the WTC towers. It did not work either. Hence no more truck bombs in the U.S. following OKC. TWA 800 was a test to see whether enough explosive power could be produced by blowing up a jumbo jet to bring down the WTC towers. It worked. The Egypt Air crash may also have been a test to see if a suicide pilot would really go through with crashing a plane, and whether the passengers could or would prevent it. That worked too. Voila.....9/11. Osama bin Laden was hired as the "hit man" by Saddam Hussein, because of Saddam's intense desire for revenge against America after the first Gulf War.

A point sadly missed often in the mass paper war for and against the war and follow up SASO in Iraq. Thanks for making that point. Saddam is a common criminal at best, and is driven by Arabic culture, and deep respect for Stalin and Hitler types. It is so easy to envision his deep desire to somehow get even with the USA. Operation Desert Storm certainly was a supreme humiliation to him.
Maybe someone could convince J. Davis to investigate the downing of Flight 800!
We'll be paying for the eight Clinton years for a long time to come.
