Now why would Iraq expect an attack in response to 9/11? Unless...

[jveritas]

Exactly.

Also you notice in the second memo they were aware that the strike will be against Afghanistan but they were still taking all these military preparations.

Exactly!

jveritas, you ROCK. :-)

Unless...

******

Could it be that Saddam was afraid that we would come after the WMD that weren't there?!!!

Now this in connection with the fact that the link document directly implicates Sadaam's regime in attempting to recruit suicide terrorists in the U.S. is way beyond the burden of proof...

......we publicly stated,the day before these memos were written,that "Some lawmakers have called on the United States to include Iraq in any military action, believing Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has supported terrorist acts against America."

Not saying they weren't involved,but after a quick search I was able to find a CNN article from the previous day where we were implicating that Iraq was involved in 9/11.I'd expect as much from our government if another country accused us of bombing them as well.This could just be an alert caused by what was said the day before.

Another great job by jveritas. thoughtomator nails this with his simple question below:

"Now why would Iraq expect an attack in response to 9/11? Unless..."

Yeah, no kidding. Here's a little clue for those people out there who are still perplexed, or in denial:

Iraq was the only nation that didn't lower their flag at their UN mission in NYC after the 9/11 attacks. That was a red flag to me then and it is one of many I continue to feel today.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I truly believe 9/11 was a contract hit. Osama delivered the plan and the personnel while Saddam provided the diplomatic cover for money transfers and documents, and perhaps diplomatic papers allowing for passage of the perps.

JMO.
