Federal judge: Iran shares responsibility for 9/11 terror attacks
2011-12-18
NEW YORK -- In an historic hearing in the federal courthouse in Manhattan on Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge George Daniels said he planned to issue a ruling in the coming days declaring that Iran shares in the responsibility for the 9/11 terror attacks.
It was a group project, which is how jihad is supposed to be. The Saudis donated "widows 'n' orphans" money, Saddam Hussein provided hijacking and other technical training in the foreigners' section of Salman Pak, Pakistan's ISI provided basic training and a funnel for Saudi funding, and the Iranians seem to have provided something like command and control...as well as sanctuary for Al Qaeda leadership family members/hostages. Al Qaeda provided the men at the tip of the spear and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
"The extensive record submitted to this court, including fact witnesses and expert testimony, is satisfactory to this court," Judge Daniels said. The court "accepts as true" the various allegations of the plaintiffs and their experts, he declared, and "will issue an order" in the coming days that Iran bears legal responsibility for providing "material support" to the 9/11 plotters and hijackers.

Family members of 9/11 victims who attended the open-court hearing broke into tears. They had nervously sat through a four-hour presentation by attorneys Thomas E. Mellon, Jr., and Timothy B. Fleming, consisting of evidence backing up their claims that Iran had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks and actively assisted the hijackers in planning, preparing, and executing their plan.

In presenting evidence gathered by the attorneys and their outside investigator, Timothy Fleming revealed tantalizing details of still-sealed videotaped depositions provided by three defectors from Iranian intelligence organizations.

One of those defectors was "physically present" when al-Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri
... Second in command of al-Qaeda, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area. That is not a horn growing from the middle of his forehead, but a prayer bump, attesting to how devout he is...
 came to Iran in January 2001 for four days of intense closed-door meetings with the top leadership in Iran to discuss the impending attacks.

#3  I forgot to add, I wonder how Obamer is going to spin this to avoid doing anything about Iran?

#2  So, do they seize all of Iran's assets in the US and pay down everyone's mortgage?

This attack did terrible damage to our economy, which was overworked with Wall Street BS machinations, and I think we should all SHARE in the boodle we get from the Mad Mullah welfare fund in Switzerland, Austria, Argentina, Grand Cayman's and Goldman Sachs.
