I'm going to forego that since I went back and reread the thread in question.You didn't answer my question about the '93 WTC bomber living openly in a house in Baghdad or point me to any material to support YOUR claim that OBL and SH hated each other.
I must say, Bernardo (it is Bernardo isn't it?), that your comprehension of the English written word is better than most Americans (really not saying much from the likes of this place) but you are mischaracterizing my comments, especially with this paragraph:
"You have affirmed that there were strong links between Saddam´s Iraq and Al Qaeda, on the basis of your reading of some declarations by Mr. Rumsfeld, and you questioned the reading capabilities of another inmate when he opined otherwise, to what I said that it was YOUR reading ability what should be questioned."
I gave you a single example of a concrete fact in that previous thread. As you pointed out, I am asking people to connect the dots or make a leap of faith based on a modicum of logic. AQ, the Taliban and Afghanistan are an example of "strong links". I just stated that there are in fact, links between SH/Irak and AQ. Also, who's to say that AQ is the only terrorist game in town? We no doubt have many 'freelancers' in the terrorist game nowadays.
I even forgot to mention the 'Three Abduls' that hung out in that lovely wasteland we call Irak: Abu Nidal (remember him?), Abdul Abbas (throwing poor cripple Leon Klinghoffer over the side of a cruise ship) and Abdul Yassin (blew up the WTC in '93.) Abu Nidal was killed in Baghdad in 2002, Yassin had the house and Abdul Abbas was called well...Saddam's bombmaker.
They are all terrorists and I don't give a flying fuck whether they operate under the banner of AQ or The Dixie Chicks. Quit being so narrow minded.
Here's the thread, so I suggest you do what I did and go back and reread it in its entirety.
Later, Chris
