Blast suspects linked to bin Laden, Saddam
By Tarek Al-Issawi

READ THIS AND CONSIDER THAT THERE WERE NO TIES BETWEEN SADDAM HUSSEIN AND OSAMA BIN LADEN BEFORE BUSH LED US INTO THIS UNILATERAL PREEMPTIVE ATTACK UPON IRAQ.

A senior police official said earlier that all four had connections to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terror network."

Paul Bremer was WHERE?!

Paul Bremer was WHERE??!



Does anyone else think it's totally inappropriate for Paul Bremer to be taking a VACATION while our troops are dying?!

vengeance, and in some places the ayatollah's mourners took to the
streets.

Yet here in Baghdad, the Iraqi and American officials charged with
shepherding this country toward democratic rule went about their
business as if little had changed.

There were no speeches calling for calm and few public appearances by
anyone in charge. L. Paul Bremer III, the chief American
administrator, was on vacation.

Nobody seemed to know when exactly he would return.

The American military command here said nothing...."
