“Osama Bin Laden Contact With Iraq”

A newly released pre-war Iraqi document indicates that an official representative of Saddam Hussein’s government met with Osama bin Laden in Sudan on February 19, 1995 after approval by Saddam Hussein. Bin Laden asked that Iraq broadcast the lectures of Suleiman al Ouda, a radical Saudi preacher, and suggested “carrying out joint operations against foreign forces” in Saudi Arabia. According to the document, Saddam’s presidency was informed of the details of the meeting on March 4, 1995 and Saddam agreed to dedicate a program for them on the radio. The document states that further “development of the relationship and cooperation between the two parties to be left according to what’s open (in the future) based on dialogue and agreement on other ways of cooperation.” The Sudanese were informed about the agreement to dedicate the program on the radio.

But, but, but . . . the 9/11 Commission report stated there was no collaborative relationship. Was their job to decipher whether or not Iraq and Al Qaida were connected or to find out what happened, why it happened and how 9/11 could be prevented? This is just Rovian propoganda to point out any connections Iraq had with Al Qaida.  Or so we will be told.
