		<description>al-Qaida has always had a defensive posture, whereas the neocons/Zionists are truly offensive terrorist organisations { if there really is such a thing as terrorism }.

World conquest is their goal, as outlined by PNAC. It&#039;s all there starting with Iraq.

Google PNAC and read all about the plan. That&#039;s Cheney&#039;s Bible, which is the carrot on the stick, which Cheney dangles in front of Bush.

		<description>&quot;Saddam Hussein&#039;s government was aware not just of the presence of Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Mus&#039;ab Al Zarqawi, but also was aware that the Anbar province in Iraq was being used as a launch point for organized groups of jihadis headed to fight the United States in Afghanistan&quot; Posted by Fleettwood

&quot;Postwar information indicates that Saddam Hussein attempted, unsuccessfully, to locate and capture al-Zarqawi and that the regime did not have a relationship with, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi.&quot;-Senate Intelligence Committee Report on postwar findings about Iraq&#039;s links to terrorism, 9/8/06, p. 109

ABCNewsonlineLast Update: Monday, May 1, 2006. 7:55am (AEST)

Abu Musab al Zarqawi ... Former spy says the US had the terrorism figure in its sights.

&quot;Bush turned down chances to kill Zarqawi&quot;: ex-CIA spy

A former top CIA spy says the United States deliberately turned down several opportunities to kill terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the lead-up to the Iraq war.

Mike Scheuer headed the CIA&#039;s bin Laden unit for six years before resigning in 2004.

He has told the ABC&#039;s Four Corners program the Bush administration had Zarqawi in its sights almost every day for a year.

He says a plan to destroy Zarqawi&#039;s training camp in Kurdistan was abandoned for diplomatic reasons.

&quot;The reasons the intelligence service got for not shooting Zarqawi was simply that the President and the National Security Council decided it was more important not to give the Europeans the impression we were gunslingers,&quot; he said.

&quot;Mr Bush had Zarqawi in his sights almost every day for a year before the invasion of Iraq and he didn&#039;t shoot because they were wining and dining the French in an effort to get them to assist us in the invasion of Iraq,&quot; he told Four Corners.

&quot;Almost every day we sent a package to the White House that had overhead imagery of the house he was staying in. It was a terrorist training camp . . . experimenting with ricin and anthrax . . . any collateral damage there would have been terrorists.&quot;

During the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, Zarqawi&#039;s presence in the north of the country was used by US officials to link Saddam Hussein to terrorism.

The full story will air on Four Corners tonight on ABC television.

Yes, and Bush was aware that Zaqarwi was there, and wouldn&#039;t approve a strike on the camp because he knew it would lesson his b.s. reasons for attacking.

		<description>Well it appears the &quot;car bombs&quot; the media was reporting in England aren&#039;t really car bombs.  Rather they are tanks of gasoline.  A car with 50 gallons of gasoline is called a Cadillac Escalade but in reality it makes a lousy bomb.

Apparently these terrorists have watched too many episodes of the A-team.  A container full of gasoline will not explode, especially not in a car.  The fumes need to be lit and there needs to be plenty of oxygen to propel the explosion.  When a container is full of liquid there isn&#039;t much gas.  At best the explosion would be contained within the car.

So once again the media is aiding the neo-cons in their spreading of fear.  The car bombs that weren&#039;t but all stories are alluding to terrorists and Bin Laden.  If we have a fictional war on terror it is fitting that we have fictional car bombs.

		<description>Saddam Hussein&#039;s government was aware not just of the presence of Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Mus&#039;ab Al Zarqawi, but also was aware that the Anbar province in Iraq was being used as a launch point for organized groups of jihadis headed to fight the United States in Afghanistan.
