the Bush Admin's ineptitude in providing good news about itself.

The Clintons would be sending out legions of butt boys with the message and MSM would be covering each one orgasmically.

If Tony Snow doesn't start demanding full info gathering within the WH and relevant agencies, for release to the media on this and a host of other issues, I'm going to be even more disappointed in the Bush administration..... I cannot accept that 3+ years after the invasion of Iraq our government still does such an inept job of justifying its policies.

C'mon, Tony, you're our last best hope to crush the lying MSM and Demagogic Party hacks once and for all!!!

>>>It was like 5 shots to the back of the head from his own hand.<<<

He was, reportedly, planing on emptying the entire 9 shot magazine into his head, but the pain became so great he was unable to finish.

The right question is: Who other than al-Ani did Atta meet with in Praha?

Or maybe Al Ani is a red herring, Atta met with someone else. Search "Hijazi". Remember the story of the Iraqi "ambassador" to Turkey???

NEW YORK, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The ringleader of the 19 hijackers from the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Mohamed Atta, met twice with Iraq intelligence operatives in Prague, in June 2000 and then again last April, Newsweek reports in the current issue. The second meeting was with Farouk Hijazi, Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, who was called back to Baghdad before Sept. 11. One intelligence source called the two meetings interesting, but still far from proof of Iraqi involvement in the plot, Newsweek reports.

1994 : (SUDAN : BIN LADEN REQUESTS THAT IRAQ ASSIST AL QAEDA WITH THE PROCUREMENT OF ANTISHIP LIMPET MINES, AND ALSO REQUESTED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AL QAEDA TRAINING CAMPS WITHIN IRAQ - See FARUQ HIJAZI) THE RELATIONSHIP CONTINUED with high-level meetings throughout 1994 and 1995. The 9/11 Commission staff report that made headlines last year [2004] by declaring that such meetings between Iraq and al Qaeda "do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship" also reported that the Sudanese government arranged for "contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda." The staff report continued: "A senior Iraqi intelligence officer reportedly made three visits to Sudan, finally meeting bin Laden in 1994. Bin Laden is said to have requested space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but Iraq apparently never responded."
That senior Iraqi intelligence officer was Faruq Hijazi, former deputy director of Iraqi Intelligence and longtime regime liaison to al Qaeda. According to several Bush administration officials with access to his debriefings, as well as a top secret Pentagon summary of intelligence on Iraq and al Qaeda known as the Feith Memo, Hijazi described a face-to-face meeting with bin Laden that took place in 1994. The language in the Feith Memo corresponds closely to that in the 9/11 Commission staff report. "During a May 2003 custodial interview with Faruq Hijazi, he said in a 1994 meeting with bin Laden in the Sudan, bin Laden requested that Iraq assist al Qaeda with the procurement of an unspecified number of Chinese-manufactured antiship limpet mines. Bin Laden thought that Iraq should be able to procure the mines through third-country intermediaries for ultimate delivery to al Qaeda. Hijazi said he was under orders from Saddam only to listen to bin Laden's requests and then report back to him. Bin Laden also requested the establishment of al Qaeda training camps inside Iraq."

Leave us not forget that the MSM isn't interested in spreading news they don't like, and you know how they feel about news that's good for Pres. Bush.

That's no excuse for giving them nothing to ignore.

Who other than al-Ani did Atta meet with in Prague?

Reports indicate that al-Ani met with 11th hijacker Khalid al Midhar? Some maps and docs at link. http://www.geocities.com/republican_strategist/Iraq-Bin-Laden.html

THIS PICTURE SAYS IT ALL FOR ME:

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

While Saddam may not have planned or organized the attack on America, he was certainly well known for wanting to attack America .. and evidence has supported the fact that Saddam helped train and finance the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.

"The number two of the al-Qaeda network, Ayman al-Zawahiri, visited Iraq"
""Al-Zawahiri was summoned by Izza Ibrahim Al-Douri – then deputy head of the council of the leadership of the revolution"

Now then what was that about no connection between al-Qaeda and Saddam?

Thanks for posting this.

The MSM will never cover this.

They are too busy lying about President Bush like the USA Yesterday phoney baloney story of the telephone companies selling/giving their data to NSA.
