blitzpackage Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/22/iraq.binladen/index.html WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Tuesday declassified intelligence showing in 2005 Osama bin Laden planned to use Iraq as a base from which to launch attacks in the United States, according to White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe. Johndroe said the intelligence was declassified so the president could discuss the previously secret material on Wednesday during a commencement address at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut. The speech will be aimed at defending a key part of the president's war strategy -- the contention that the United States cannot withdraw from Iraq because al Qaeda would fill the vacuum in the Middle East. "This shows why we believe al Qaeda wants to use Iraq as a safe haven," said Johndroe. He added the president will talk about al Qaeda's "strong interest in using Iraq as a safe haven to plot and plan attacks on the United States and other countries." The decision also coincides with an ongoing push by the Democratic majority in Congress to force an end to U.S. involvement in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that proves it then, Bin Laden was in cahoots with Sadaam. It's a slam dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzpackage Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Evidentally Al Qaeda's #3 Abu Faraj al-Libbi (roughly translates to "doo-doo face" from Farsi) was the one who spilled the beans after capture in Pakistan. But isn't this a little like saying blitzpackage wants to use any attractive 21-30 year old female as a new "base of operations"? Just seems a little obvious Bin Laden and his jerk-off friends would want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjTj Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Well of course Al Qaeda wanted to set up in Iraq in 2005 after we had defeated Saddam and the outlying areas were under the control of different radical Islamic factions. A terrorist organization would be stupid not to look towards Iraq at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief skin Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Bush can't think we the American people who were fooled, lied, misled, into this mess will fall for another one can he? does he think all of us are as stupid as he is?. 2005 HMMM the war was raging, Saddam was toppled, the Iraqi army was completely dismantled by us, Iraq was in a state of anarchy. So Binladen (the man who King W was going to get dead or alive) decides hey the foolish Americans have destabilized this country, gotten rid of an arab leader who was our enemy, they have done us a great kindness, it is an opportunity for us gain a foothold out of these Allah for saken mountains, Well DUHHHHHHHHHH . Just another photo op, sound bite, propaganda ploy, released by this incompetent administration to bolster passage of the spending bill.

Larry Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 It's part of our National Policy of "Yeah, we screwed up (but it's not out fault), but we can't just stop screwing up, because if we stop, then somebody bad might benefit from our screwup."

The same people calling the leak in the paper of TS information a good thing now call a piece of declassified information a lie....I don't think anybody said it was a good thing and general consencus seems to be of course he wanted it. To bad we beat him to it. Now we would be screwed if we left. Bin Ladim wants it and he can't have it. Maybe we should give it to him, we can always just take it back.

The same people calling the leak in the paper of TS information a good thing now call a piece of declassified information a lie.... I don't think its a lie, Bin Laden probably does want to move into Iraq, but the only reason that he wanted to move in there in 2005 is because of the chaos that we created after Bush sold the world on the lie that Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were already in Iraq. So, Bush has gotten exactly what he was looking for, the only problem is that he created it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it wouldnt suprise me if Bin Laden wanted Iraq beore the invasion, but we handed it to him on a sliver platter. Yeesh only if republicans followed Reagans foreign policy, we wouldnt be in this mess (I think everyone should read his letters). The only canadate in the republican field that is following his foreign policy is Ron Paul. -Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Force Cane Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Anyone can go online and do a google search and find numerous Al Qaeda documents stating explicitly that Iraq/Mesopatamia is the focal point of the war against the United States and the West. That it is the fundamental objective of Al Qaeda. And once victory has been achieved "between the Tigris and Euphrates" stage two of Zawahiri's strategy will begin. The only people who don't realize this basic fact are libtards, Pelosi, Murtha, Reid, and their defeatist acolytes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Them: None of those said it was a lie. They said that it didn't justify anything the White House was trying to prove. Bin Laden having his eye on a civil war ridden Iraq in 2005 doesn't surprise anyone, nor does it justify what we stupidly did in invading Iraq in 2002.

This stunning new info is empty propaganda because it doesn't prove anything. It is not empty propaganda because it is a straight up lie. No refer back to your original post in this thread.

No lies about classified leaks, we just find it amusing how King W releases things that have propaganda value and expects us, the people to ohhh and ahhh over it. There was no alqaeda in Iraq before the war, Saddam viewed them as a threat to his regime. In addition, the 911 comission found no links between Saddam and alqaeda but, Prince Dick insisted on lying to us in the lead up to and after the war started, the old fart still lies about it. Bin laden played the game smart he watched and waited while we cleaned out the Saddam regime then sent his thugs in to crreate chaos and mayhem.
