War News: Beating the Leftinistra Like A Rented Mule

Let them whine. Let them wail and gnash teeth. Let them scream and holler all the way into the Abyss of Obscurity. Yes, I said the Abyss of Obscurity because that is where they are headed whether they like it or not. McCain is already President Elect and the ball is in motion to undo that which took place in CONgress back in 2006. But, that isn't what this post is about - exactly. It is, however, relevant and appropriate. (Read the rest)

Anthrax of 2001

ANO

The solution is "Rather" simple but then again, it is "Rather" difficult. Fox News and Michelle Malkin are talking about the issue but no one is actually bringing about the meat of the subject.

Saddam was a cagey fellow and routinely used the "victim card" - sound familiar to anyone? - to garner sympathies from the weak-minded and he generally used this tactic to hide his true intents. Such is thought to be the case here. He tried to make it appear that Iran was responsible for the anthrax attacks seeing that there has been a state of war between Iran and the USA since 1979.

End Translation

The above is part of the on-going translations of the millions of documents captured and/or seized in Iraq and elsewhere as a result of the GWOT. I find it ironic - for a lack of a better descriptor - that prior to the Anthrax attacks in the United States following the Day of Infamy Part II - 91101 - that Iraq and Iran were dealing with the Anthrax issue. I don't believe in the Coincidence Theory. Ever.

In Chapter 16 entitled Saddam's Anthrax Attack Warning, Ray Robison spells out that which we had already known but political expediency does not allow the confirmations nor does it behoove the Leftinistra and the Blame America First crowds to accept truth. I say that we already knew this data but I will state that we didn't know The How or The Why.

The article linked above was written prior to the release of Ray's book, Both In One Trench. Ray Robison was on the ISG Team and is heavily involved in the research and translations of the "captured" documents. On page 288 of Ray's book, he writes the following:

[...] Our finding is that there is still substantial reason to investigate if the anthrax attack was part of the 9/11 attack. If that is actually the case, the Saddam regime would be the most likely originator of the anthrax. There is no information available to the public (that we are aware of) that excludes that possibility. [...]

As he and his team so presents, there were laboratories and research facilities that went undiscovered until after the invasion and defeat of Saddam Hussein's Iraq that were more than capable of developing small stockpiles of BW.

Read the book. Read the reports and the supporting documentation. Also, remember, that the complete translations of the documents has not been concluded at this time.

Saddam Officials Financed Secret Pre-War Iraq Trip for U.S. Lawmakers...UPDATED

ANO

Democrats were in league with Saddam Hussein in pre-war times...imagine that.

Pre-war? What pre-war? Do they mean before Saddam invaded Kuwait? Nope. Prior to the beginning of the hostilities to finish that what Saddam started in 1990, it seems that Saddam "bribed" some congressional democrats and financed a trip to Iraq. Imagine that.

Let the spin begin. Poor Colmes is spinning like a Bad Dog at the moment on Hannity and Colmes. What a leftist putz.

WASHINGTON - Three U.S. lawmakers made a trip to Iraq that was secretly financed by Saddam Hussein's intelligence agency during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

An indictment unsealed in Detroit accuses Muthanna Al-Hanooti, a member of a Michigan nonprofit group, of arranging for the members of Congress to travel to Iraq in October 2002 at the behest of Saddam's regime. [...]

I hope they rot in prison...

Keith Milby reporting:

[...]The lawmakers are not named in the indictment but the dates correspond to a trip by Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan and Mike Thompson of California. None was charged and Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said investigators "have no information whatsoever" any of them knew the trip was underwritten by Saddam. [...]

Remember those names...Jim McDemott, David Bonior, Mike Thompson

[UPDATES]

Weekly Standard...

Congressional Republicans are looking into possible disciplinary measures for Jim McDermott and Jim Thompson, two House Democrats who traveled to Baghdad on the eve of votes in Congress to approve the Iraq War. The third member, David Bonior, has since retired from Congress. [...]

Like I said, I don't believe for one microsecond these leftist scum "didn't know"...I hope they burn in hell.

Leftinistra Eating Crow

ANO

I find it curious that the Leftinistra are constantly relying on the ever mysterious one that cannot be named...

[...] But the Pentagon researchers found no documents that referred to a plan to kill Bush. The absence was conspicuous because researchers, aware of its potential significance, were looking for such evidence. "It was surprising," said one source familiar with the preparation of the report (who under Pentagon ground rules was not permitted to speak on the record). Given how much the Iraqis did document, "you would have thought there would have been some veiled reference to something about [the plot]." [...]

Interesting isn't it? The above cited excerpt is from the anonymous writer of the editorial piece from the Huff and Puff. The article is talking about the The Iraqi Perspectives Project -- Saddam and Terrorism: Emerging Insights from Captured Iraqi Documents where the assassination attempt on President George H.W. Bush during a trip to Kuwait in the Spring of 1993 is "mysteriously" missing.

The anonymous author, in their editorial, has now officially questioned the authenticity of the "alleged" plot which was confirmed by President Clinton. The reason the plot is now questioned is because another anonymous person that is "familiar with" the preparation of the report said that a link was not found. Therefore, using the typical Leftinistra logic, if the attempt was not documented by the IIS, naturally, it never happened.

I have one word for that. Pathetic. What these poor straw graspers fail to realize is that originally, it was reported that millions of documents had been captured and it would take 7 to 10 years to correlate them all. The recently released report has only ciphered 600,000 of these documents and the title of the report clearly specifies and "emerging insights". There is still more to come.

Another curiosity in all of this is the fact that the lame Leftinistra are attempting to distract from the real issue with a non-issue, trying to make a non-issue an issue. I can just hear it now: "Seeing that there is no direct evidence that Saddam Hussein tried to have President HW Bush assassinated, there is no reason to believe that any other alleged illegal activities of Saddam Hussein are true either."

Pathetic. Perhaps the sorry anonymous author should take the time to read the 94-page report. In that report and the 4 volumes of supporting documentation, one will see why the assassination attempt is being discussed. It is another straw man. So much evidence nailing Saddam Hussein to the wall and completely justifying the completion of the 1991 Persian Gulf War is evident. It has just got to sting that badly to try and come up with yet another ignorant non-issue.

Over at memeorandum, there are still listed those that now have egg on their faces for swallowing the leaked data from this report that was not yet released at the time. They plunged at the story line that there were no "direct links" to Saddam. Silly goons.

I have just completed, for the third time, Ray Robison's book Both In One Trench. I'll be reading it again so I won't be misquoting that which I already knew about before I read it but didn't know why...completely. Much of the 94-page report is nearly exactly the same as Ray's book. I find this astounding and at the same time refreshing. If you haven't read the book yet or the report, it will behoove you to do so. Then, you won't sound like the anonymous putz at the Huff and Puff.
