Dear Sinergy,
You are incorrect. Terrorists and spies, captured on the battlefield, are also not afforded a trial by their peers. Maybe we'll round up Al-qaeda for a jury pool. and well...
as for Dragone, the fact of the matter is that Bush never said Saddam was behind 9/11, so I'm not sure what statement you are referring to, but...
Saddam DID have WMD. Everyone knew it going back to Reagan.. yes, Clinton knew it too.. and stated so much while HE was president. Since he had used them in the past, only an idiot would stand and say he didnt have them. Now, we gave Saddam 16 months to do whatever he was going to do with any nasty items he had in his possession prior to our invasion. Thats a lot of time. There are intelligence reports, no, not from us, that clearly state that both chemical weapons and VX gas containers were shipped via truck and aircraft into Syria. And, the Jordanian government STOPPED a shipment of chemical weapons being brought into Jordan with Iraqi markings on the containers. The information is out there and it isn't the Bush administration saying it. In fact, the current administration won't even mention that intel because they know that their credibility on the issue has already been destroyed. Hell, even a few road-side IEDs were constructed out of sarin gas mortar shells. Luckily for our guys, the tangos were too stupid to realize the explosion would destroy the sarin, reducing the bomb to a more conventional weapon.
Look, civilians will never know all of the information. That is the nature of the beast in intelligence and warfare. It may piss people off, but its just the way it is. Many years from now, when the current leaders are dead and gone, some of it will come out. Eventually, the whole story will be known. Take a lesson from the current CIA revelations that they were plotting to kill Castro. 40+ years ago.
Terrorism is a subject I have been teaching for 20 years. Iraq has always been a part of those classes and lectures. Always. There are intel reports from european agencies that clearly state that mohammed atta met with Iraqi intelligence agents twice in the former czech republic prior to 9/11. It is unrefuted. People just dont talk about it, but the information is public. Two of the world's most sought after terrorists were found in Baghdad when the US invaded. They were living in the lap of luxury in Saddam's palaces, with his blessing. Abu Nidal was murdered by Iraqi secret police just prior to our invasion. For those who don't know the name, Abu Nidal was the number 1 most wanted terrorist in the world and had been long before anyone ever heard of Osama Bin Laden. Iraq was his base of operations several times during his career and Saddam gave him safe haven in his aging condition until he knew we were coming. Saddam didnt want us getting our hands on Nidal alive. Abul Abbas, the terrorist mastermind behind the hijacking of the Aquillie Lauro (sp) cruise ship and murder of US citizen Leon Klinghoffer was arrested by the US in Baghdad during the invasion. Saddam's own secret service was listed as a terrorist organization by the State Department going back 20 years ago.
Were there, and are there still, bigger fish to fry in the War on Terror? Yes! Our second stop after ousting the Taliban should have been Iran, who is the largest supporter of international terrorism in the world today. We will face Iran one way or another. I just hope its on our terms, not theirs.
If anyone is surprised about the government being able to identify the terrorists of 9/11 within a day or two, they really are uninformed about the capabilities of our systems of surveillance. The average person today is photographed or videotaped more than 20 times per day via various devices in stores, workplaces, government buildings, street corners, banks, ATMs, etc. When you become a suspect, it doesn't take much to find out where you've been and what you've been doing. This of course is after the fact because they weren't paying attention to you until you decided to blow something up. They know the profile: arab men in their early 20s to 30s traveling alone or with other men... blah blah blah... it would have been very easy to figure out who the suspects were once you began examining the passenger lists and comparing them to the video.
Everyone is so eager to blame US for what happened. They simply dont get it. They've been blind to what's been going on in the world for so long.... like since the 50's for those of you who flunked history... that they just cant believe there are evil people in the world and their goal is world domination, just like the evil villians of old.. our fathers' and grandfathers' time. The evil of the world did not die with Hitler. And oh by the way... another history lesson.. the radical muslims fought on Hitler's side during WWII. The grand imam even helped Hitler formulate his "Final Solution." But, everyone will ignore any actual facts regarding what is happening today and what our nation faces as an enemy.
As one who serves this country with pride and honor, it saddens me that our citizens are so ignorant of the facts. It saddens me that their only source of information comes from anti-government and anti-war blogs or websites paid for and supported by billionaire Marxists. Yes, you can look that up too. (move on dot org) It also saddens me that the current administration is unable, or unwilling to stand up and tell the world the truth about this war and why it is so important. No, its not oil. Its our very survival as a nation.
