| Itâs from a larger article by CBS news that is more or less a hatchet job against Chalabi (and understandably so, IMO). All the same, sometimes you do have to dig through a heck of a lot of shit to find a diamond ... One document, which [Ahmed] Chalabi says is noted âTop Secret,â is dated on March 28, 1992. Chalabi says itâs a document written by Iraqâs secret intelligence service, the Mukhabarat, listing scores of its agents in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. âOn Page 14 of this document it says here, âThe Saudi Osama bin Laden,â" says Chalabi. âAgents whom they have re-contacted by 1992 ... this is his name.â âHow so you know itâs an authentic document? How do you know itâs real,â asked Stahl. âThe people who initialed the document before it goes on: one, two three, four signatures. We know who these people are. Itâs very difficult for anyone to forge the document,â says Chalabi. âYou check it. You have the piece of paper in your hand. You check it.â 60 Minutes checked it out with the defense intelligence agency, which believes the document is authentic â but of little significance. Why? It doesnât spell out what the relationship with Osama bin Laden was, or what he did, if anything, for the Iraqis. Actually, Iâd call it extremely significant. 1991-92, if youâll recall, was back when Binny was still POed at the Soddies for letting the US operate in the Magic Kingdom - he initially wanted the Afghan Arabs to fight Saddam in Kuwait rather than the Great Satan and by all accounts, his collaboration with Saddam didnât start until he showed up in Sudan and Hassan Turabi convinced him to adopt a more ecumenical mindset. So Binnyâs name on a list of Iraqi agents, even back in the early 1990s is, IMO, extremely significant. |

| #1 There is no doubt among informed Americans that Usama and Saddam were allies beginning no later than 1990. The fact the dominant left-wing media including the CBS wing of the ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBCCNBCPBSBBCalJAZEERA network refuse to acknowledge the Usama-Saddam alliance does not render that alliance fantasy. The way the network works, I am certain their thorough work at discrediting Chalabi rendered less intelligent viewers entirely unable to discover the "diamond" among the lumpy smears of excreta. Good work, comrade. |
