  • She needs a good Beating. I would.

  • in the words of military thinking or at least the USMC's suck it the fuck up. he hates phonys so leave the man alone

  • i dont understand the problem here. Rush called some peple phony. so what. if you never served and take offense so fuckin what. if you served and take offense then so fuckin what. the truth is that you know in your heart what you did. if you oppose the war why does it matter if you served that doesnt change anything. the war is still going to happen. i am currently on active duty USMC, i support the war, i shouldnt go back, been to iraq 4 times, i may have PTSD i dont know.

  • Well geez, Inquisitor53, how would I know how many soldiers and veterans Rush has smeared? The guy has been on the air for years. I don't regularly listen to partisan hacks from either side of the aisle, but I never like to hear draft dodgers talking smack about those who have served.

  • Perino is an idiot. And these lying aswipes Communist stooges were and have been proven to be phony soldiers....war fraud...hell JFK, Kerry, Murtha, and the other fascist pigs are war frauds too.

  • try just educating yourself rather than listening to a draft dodging thrice married drug addled felon

  • Rush has lied about playing HS football and the reasons for not pulling military service, should never have been given a radio show. So-called left wing media never called Rush on this bad conduct, proving we've been screwed, blued and tatooed by these filth called Dems and Repubs.

  • You are one sad piece of shit. JFK and Murtha are war frauds? Really? Kerry has a bronze star on top of those purple hearts. He served in the extremely dangerous riverine patrol boat units. It's so easy to talk shit from a distance.

  • he wasn't talking about soldiers condeming the war he was talking about people that were actually phony soldiers people saying they had been in the military that had never actually served next time people do some fucking research and stop misquoting people both leftist and rightist it makes it hard to tell the truth

  • ACTUALLY, he went on to attack people like Murtha and lump them all together. Take your own advice.. do some research.

  • As far as I can tell you are correct he did say something about John Murtha along with the phony soldiers but from my understanding he was refering to Murtha accusing US Marines of murdering civilians in Haditha

  • Rush you need to shut your mouth. You like to talk shit about every one else, but what about you being a PILL POPPING DOPE HEAD. You dont mention that situation though and neither dose any of your scary ass colleagues. You like kicking people when their down. Poor Whites, Blacks, Asians, and others. Well turn around and assume the position, you just got a swift KICK IN YOUR ASS. A Dope Head is still a Dope Head even if he has money.

    AKA-The American People

  • speak for yourself

  • Dont worry,there's a special place in the afterlife for Rush,evil is prevailing in the world through mind control and deception.Its agenda is breaking the Human Race through our own minds!Stick to your heart,they wont win as long as you see the truth!!Peace and Love family!

  • Soldiers are NOT allowed to speak AGAINST the President. She is incorrect.

  • Fake football player and real draft-dodger extrordinaire describe a famous American. Who might that be? Hint: the gentleman is from Cape Girardeau, Missouri and has a radio show.

    Chuckle, chuckle, 'nort, 'nort.

  • You need to shut your trap and listen. You brain-washed liberal piece of shit. Every last one in congress is a hypocritical ass-wipe.

  • It is seen that when we bring forth facts about the fraud of Limbaugh, we are subjected to severe ad hominem attacks.

    Predictable.

  • haha. Speaking of brainwashed.. what a moron you are. haha

  • I could never do her job...those people would piss me off way to much, they don't just shut up and listen

    !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • For those of you who have not gotten the facts (either by accident or on purpose), the "Phony Soldiers" comment was taken out of context. In the larger context, Rush goes on to describe a specific instance of a phony soldier. You see, this individual falsified information and got sent to the "big house" for it. He was only in the Army for 40+ days but completely lied about this, about the rank he attained, and about what he witnessed in Iraq. In other words, he was a phony soldier.

  • Horseshit.

    Rush refered to any serviceman who dared to disagree with Limbaughs stance on the war as a phoney soldier.

  • Rush implicitly asserted that all soldiers who do not toe the Bush Lie and Line are "phony soldiers" - how disgusting

    God Bless America and her Troops - and God Damn all Anal Cyst Draftdodgers like druggie Rush!

  • Truly a Leftwing, Pre-Programmed, Talking Points Imbecile.

    Hopefully Obama will send someone to your home to help you change your diapers after he loses.

  • Considering McCain's age I wouldn't be making jokes about diapers if I was you.

  • Really? I'm sure he could still beat you like the red-headed Liberal you are, ms bombast.

  • god I can't wait. after November 4 republicans are just gonna be standing around holding their dicks.

    serves them right for doing their best over 8 years to destroy america

  • Do you need to also download your witty comebacks from DNC central? Of course, that's a rhetorical question, missy.

  • Hate on me all you want you're still not going to retake the house.

  • Hate you? I'm afraid you overestimate your importance.

  • you're still not going to retake the house.

  • Hey asshole! Ever watched fox news and see any different you bigoted fucker?! Tell me, why is Obama not suited for president come November? (And seriously, start packin your bags for Canada becuase he WILL win.)

  • i agree with xyxyxy... the liberals are just scared of him and try anything they can to distract listeners because they know he does have power and the ability to influence, otherwise they wouldnt be wasting their time. plus if you listen to the whole clip you see rush isnt talking about soldiers who oppose the warr, its soldiers like jessie macbeth. up yours liberal media

  • I wonder how Rush feels about his so called power to influence the voters didn't pan out. Of all the candidates he supported, especially the anti-illegal immigrant candidates, none of them were elected by the American people. In fact, America ended up selecting two candidates that are for an Amnesty agenda...LOL. So much for his pull and influence. Better luck next time Rush.

  • Obama's plan calls for FREE lifetime medical care for over 20 Million illegal aliens pushing Americans aside for medical care.

  • (this title is a lie)

    White House Faults Rush For "Phony Soldier" Remark (this title is a lie)

  • That is correct! The title is in NO WAY true.

  • Servicemen DO NOT actually have limitations on their freedom on expression, at least while in uniform, they cannot criticize any members of congress for example and especially the President, their Commander in Cheif.

  • Or demonstrate in a public rally for that matter. Amazing how some of us signed up to defend freedoms and in doing so they are no longer extended to us

  • Why are these politicians even acknowledging Rush, Savage or anyone else?

    I believe that our government officials should ignore the talk shows completely.

    Who cares what they say? You see, when these politicans refer to talk shows in our chambers of government, it only serves as a distraction and a soap opera, and interferes with their work.

    It's the same thing as a security guard playing a gameboy while on duty.

    They need to ignore talk radio and focus on real debate.

  • Americans are anxious to hear about Obama's foreign policy adviser, Rob Malley, being involved in secret negotiations with Hamas,

    at the same time that Hamas is working with Iran to attack Israel with rockets illegally transferred to Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. Lets hear about this jingoistic reality.

  • Its so funny that lieberals are so stupid and lame that they are going to riot because Rush Limbaugh told them to riot. Bwahahaah I thought they hate Rush Limbaugh? But, its obvious they listen and love Rush Limbaugh just like real Americans. Its no wonder he OWNS a G550 and is always NUMBER #1!

  • Remember the SC teen USA contestant, "such as"

    Well she has grown up and changed her name to Dana Perino.

    And she's still hawt.Dumb blonde hawt.

  • During Viet Nam only Dick Cheney had more deferments than Rush.

  • lol

  • if you cant take the heat get outta rushs kitchen!

  • Yeah every woman he's married has done that already.

  • Like most liberals, this lady was too lazy to go and read the actual transcript to see that the man Rush talked about was in fact a phony soldier who never even went to Iraq! Typical Liberal bias was in play here. Why don't all reporters just have a big D after their name?

  • Bullshit.

    The caller said all veterans who speak out against the war are phony soldiers and Rush agreed.

  • Rush Limbaugh isnt a phoney soldier at all becasuse he simply WAS NEVER a soldier and thats just like the Neocon.

  • Rush Limbaugh is the greatest Nobel Peace Prize Nominee in all of History!

  • Rush Limbaugh is what happens when you give an uneducated frankly dum man a microphone and let him talk to a bunch of stupid people. the only person dumber then Rush Limbaugh is some one who trust him. people need to get educated. im not a Ron paul supporter but if the troops want to be in Iraq why did they donate more Money to Ron Paul then any other candidate

  • Damn good question.

  • Way to go, Rush! Keep speaking TRUTH TO POWER! There is a reason youre Number #1 and all of America loves you! Listen to Rush on the net at rushlimbaugh dot com. Go, Rush, go!

  • Rush Limbaugh is having another week of great shows analyzing US politics and World Affairs. Ignore the lieberals and Progressive Commies and get RIGHT with the Rushlimbaugh show on rushlimbaugh dot com. Anywhere in the world you can listen to Rush. Hes number #1 and loved by all real Americans!!!

  • this is such BULLSHIT .rush limbaugh is a patriot.

    he didn't not call people in the war phony soldiers. he called 1 soldier who lied about being in the war, and falsified his medals and transcripts who CLAIMED he was in the war.

    then he was prosecuted for fraud by the us goverment.

    the second he went to jail all the left wing sites mysteriously removed the articles about rush and never spoke about it again

  • What a load of crap.

    The caller described ANY Veteran who speaks to the media about how they're against the war in Iraq as a Fake vet.

    And Limbaugh AGREED with this statement.

  • Oh yea, CHARLESSMARTEL and BATTLEOFTOURS732 seem to be saying the same thing.

    Hmmmmmm....could they be the same guy????

    Well, lets just check their profile and see!!

  • Congratulations to Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Rush Limbaugh for another great year of being the Number 1 Conservative in the US & reaching the world on Rush Limbaugh dot com! Conservatives in China and Hong Kong are urged to listen to Rush on the Net & learn ways to over throw the horrible Communist regime that forces abortions, harvest organs for transplant (for profit), and uses prisoners and Army troops for slave labor. Hurrah to Rush!!

  • Can't say that I can listen to, let alone support, a man who dodged the Vietnam draft by saying he had a cyst on his ass.

  • Congratulations to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity for 20 years on the air broadcasting good Conservative values worldwide! Listen to them on the Internet! And all Americans look forward to another 20 years on the air espousing all that is good about America! Congratulations!

  • Rush is Number #1 and loved by real Americans!

  • your the man!

  • Hey aquabat idiot.... check your grammar.

    It's "You're the man!" LOL

    But thanks for proving our point... anyone who adores Rush is simply a pathetic loser... go back & get your GED, ok?

  • What? She didn't "call out" Rush. This is so funny because it's clear evidence of how the left twists quotes to fit their agenda. The spokes person said she hadn't even heard the comment. Rush was referring to a real phony soldier who was washed out of boot camp then went on spread horrible lies about what the troops did in Iraq.

  • Apparently this woman has some sense to make clear that she doesnt assume the biased left media's reports are "accurate". Google "smear tactic".

  • Just another Rush hater who is scared of the truth. Rush is right, and we are glad to have him.

  • who is we? Because we are not glad to have him

  • You can have him and please keep him on your side. He does you guys more harm then good.

    I remember him on NFL countdown before he was fired. I guess its a liberal NFL show right? What a fuckin joke. Did he get a refill on that viagra?

  • Rush is NOT a conservative. Rush Limpbowel is a drug addled HYPOCRITICAL BLOWHARD. I find it funny by disagreeing with these "pseudo-conservatives" They then automatically retort youre a liberal. Thats because their brain is in neutral and their mouth is stuck in drive. They are AFRAID of REAL conservatives.

  • by "real" conservatives you mean liberals. Rush Limbaugh supports his facts very well. the reason that the some of the American people have taken a stand against Rush is becuase their heads are stuck in MSNBC and dont verify their facts. "if it was on MSNBC, then it was true." BS.

  • Conservatives around the world love to listen to the uplifting and positive message Rush delivers about entrepreneurship and hard work while exposing the fallacies, idiocy, and foul nature of liberalism. Listen to Rush Limbaugh on the Internet at rush limbaugh dot com. You can thank me later! Way to go, Rush! America loves you!

  • No, America hates Rush. Especially staunch conservative republicans like John Warner and Denny Hastert who have both denounced Rush publicly.

    I respect these true statesman. Rush can go get some Viagra.

  • Rush is Number #1 and all real Americans love him and his great conservative views. You should listen to Rush and Mark Levin. Mark Levin can be heard worldwide on the Internet at marklevinshow dot com for FREE. Since youre a lieberal, were sure youre poor and would enjoy something free, loser. Listen for 90 days and you will learn to quit telling lies. ok?

  • I would never refer to you as a fellow american. Its unamerican to refer to someone that way due to a differing opinion.

    It doesnt matter.

    We have only 9 more months!

  • He used the phrase Phony Soldiers to describe PHONY SOLDIERS.

    Go away, leftist scum.

  • Rush Limbaugh -- The Number #1 Talk Show Host in the World. Listen to him on the Internet on rushlimbaugh dot com from anywhere in the World. If you live in a country with liberal politicians, you need to listen to Rush! Hes the best!

  • hey lapboy...need a rupee raise...Rush is looking for ILLEGAL ALIENS to fold his monogrammed clothes...and run for his drugs...what a country!!

  • LMAO you have to be an inbred low life redneck brainwashed piece of trash right wing lunatic to listen to that talking head blow hole Rush

  • this was such a cheap question. of course that spokesperson had to say that, cause the reporter used wut Rush said way out of context.

  • charlessmartel IS Rush!!! Boouey Rushski...we are onta ya!!!

  • I saw the title for your video. I watched your video. I'm still waiting for the part where the White House "faults" Rush for the "phony soldiers" remark. All she said was, "It's not what the president would have used."

  • Ok Rush

  • Rush is the Number One Conservative in World for a reason. His positive message inspires hundred of millions of people on the Internet everyday. Way to go, Rush!

  • Hilarious. Nice spin on the title there. Do you work for the NY Times? MSNBC?

  • Oh they prolly wear Oxys in there hair. Like that fat P.O.S. they worship every day . Yes I'm back for my 2 minute fix. I'll be walking slowly away now. I'll have my slice of YELLOWCAKE with a tall glass of white milk.

  • My ,my my . It 's fucking amazing that after 7 years of junior bush in power some people are still raving and ranting about Bill Clinton. Are those people on drugs? Do they have no shame? Are they so stupid? What the fuck happened to those folks to make them that way?

  • Nin1963  True, you can find anything on line. But you have to look at the source...AND RESEARCH THE SOURCE. Like Loosechange. That was started by 3 college students with too much time on their hands.

    You are further proof that liberals refuse to see the truth, much less admit it.

  • Nin1963 It's all online. For some reason, you liberals just won't or refuse to look up any information that goes against or proves your liberal beliefs to be false.

  • First, go to Google and look up "Idiot's Guide to Chinagate" (that's the simple explanation for you). It starts off with "China will likely replace the USA as world leader, said Bill Clinton in a recent Washington Post interview." It then states, "Clinton should know. He has personally done more to build China's military strength than any man on earth."

  • Nin1963 Charges? Are you kidding? It is know that Clinton sold our missile secrets to china... probably the most serious offense that can be made by ANY American. But this is the Clinton's we're talking about.

  • Nin1963 I said "it is believed Clinton is responsible for the death of Foster". Everything else I put down is fact. That's why the only thing that Snopes has debunked is what I said was "believed".

  • The following is a part of the people who aided Clinton in his crimes with Whitewater, Chinagate, and Travelgate.

  • Bill Clinton met with known criminals who either gave large amounts of money to the Democrats or were brought in by those giving huge sums of money to the Democrats. These people included convicted drug dealer Jorge Cabrera; a Chinese arms dealer named Wang Jun; and Grigory Lutchansky, whose company, Nordex, was on Clinton's CIA watch list and who was denied entry into Canada because he failed a background check.

  • There was also the appearance of foreign policy quid pro quos involving Indonesia, Paraguay, Guam, Vietnam and China. Even more disturbing are allegations of economic espionage, communist Chinese involvement in U.S. elections, and compromising U.S. national security - all in the name of helping the Democrats and securing Bill Clinton's reelection.

  • There were about 70 Congressional witnesses who have pled the Fifth Amendment right not to self-incriminate (or chosen to flee the country) in the Clinton-Gore dollars for political influence scam.

  • Clinton is a hardened criminal, and has been one almost since the instant he entered politics twenty years ago. He is cozy with organized crime, with links to a highly profitable drug smuggling operation out of Mena, Arkansas. This is aside from the fraud, money laundering, bribery, witness tampering, assault and obstruction that continues to surround Clinton and his Arkansas friends. One must wonder if Bill Clinton has done anything legal at all in the last 20 years.

  • Whitewater investments made by the Clintons, , which the strange (supposed suicide) death of Vince Foster, a Clinton aide with connections to Whitewater. It is believed Clinton is responsible for the death of Foster.

  • Clinton pardoned people who lied to save his sorry ass. He pardoned people who refused a lawful order to testify in one of the many corruption cases against him. He pardoned big campaign contributors. He pardoned people who stole money from the taxpayers of the United States and never paid a penny back. He pardoned at least 18 drug dealers (one who sold cocaine to Clinton's brother and possibly to good old Bill himself).

  • Bill Clinton pardoned Jacob Elbaum, Kalmen Stern, Benjamin Berger and David Goldstein, who were convicted of stealing 40 million from U.S. taxpayers. Why did he pardon them? Because the community they lived at, a Hasidic Jewish community called New Square, invited Giuliani to speak and promised him their full support if he got their four "pals" out of prison. Guiliani turned them down. Hillary stepped in and promised to "mention" their felon friends to her husband, the President.

  • On Clinton's last day in office, he pardoned 140 people, including Puerto Rican terrorists (members of the Falin group) whose actions caused the deaths of 6 people in New York. Clinton pardoned his brother for a cocaine offense. He pardoned Henry CIsneros, who was convicted of lying to a government agency, similar to what Libby was convicted of. The only difference is Libby was convicted for lying about a crime that never took place (the disclosure of Plame's work for the CIA was not a crime).

  • Nin1963 I was born in Camp Pendleton, CA...yes, the marine military base. I am an American who stands behind my country. You should do the same. You have a son is a true American and a true hero.

  • Nin1963 Your son is a true American who is fighting for the country you are trashing. First off, the war on terror is something that should have been done decades ago. Bush has not finished the job of securing America by securing our borders. You are definately a typical liberal who uses name calling and insults to try and score points in debate. You libs are all the same.

  • Nin1963 I didn't even mention Clinton's BJ. Hat's off to Bill. Any man who has a wife like Hillary would probably do the same. I have just mentioned a tip of the iceberg of illegal things Clinton did while in the Whitehouse, not to mention he even out of office, when he told Sandy Berger to "collect" (destroy) information from the National Archives concerning Clinton's knowledge of AQ and terrorist attacks.

  • Nin1963 What this debate is concerned with is NOT how Doan and several other have violated the Hatch Act. What we are talking about is the safety and security of our country and who we can depend on. You liberals complain that jobs are being sent off to China, but you turn around and want to let illegals into America to work. Hypocritical, don't you think?

  • Nin1963 You are only partially right. The spending under Bush has been terrible. Every Republican who is shooting for President knows this and is going to cut and stop the wasteless spending. About being the worst on corruption, go back study ALL the crap Clinton did.

  • "About being the worst on corruption, go back study ALL the crap Clinton did."

    I watched Clinton pretty close....for the most part ....repubs led by Limpaugh and Gingrich refused...in a completely PARTISAN way to let Clinton govern. In their eyes...Reno, Gore, Hillary...and Bill...although elected...were unfit to govern....to the detriment of the U.S.!!

  • blueplanet2 Clinton did nothing to protect America, even after the first WTC attack, the Oklahoma bombing, and even David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco. It was under Clinton that Reno,along with Jamie Gorelick, put up the Wall of Seperation which in part, let muslims with links to terrorists into America to take flying lessons.

  • blueplanet2 Clinton gave away our miltary secrets to China for political funding. Bill Clinton stood with his hands in his pockets while 800,000 Ruwandans were slaughtered. He claimed he didn't know it was happening and later gave his famous "Clinton apology", where he claimed he could have done more to help. In actuality, he did more to HELP the genocide continue!

  • have you ever talked to a conservative??? I have....you need earplugs...boots...and a wax image of yourself with a recording that says....oh I know....and evolution sucks....while you make a getaway!!!!

  • blueplanet2 Both of the libs I was debating here ran away with their tails between their legs. And they did the exact same thing all liberals do.. tried using insults and name calling to feel smart... just like you do. You libs have a real problem dealing with reality and all seem to have debating skills of a 4th grader.

  • "Drfong2112 You liberals are really a bunch of losers."....now thar's some sharp debating skills...er...SPARKY!!!!

  • blueplanet2 Anybody, liberal, conservative, Democrat, or Republican, who runs from a debate when facts are presented is a loser.

  • blueplanet--That's funny..

  • Oh Ok glad I gave you something to think about all of your Saturday pretty pathetic you believe all of 6 pages of lies you believe . I gave perhaps maybe all of 2 minutes at a time in total of 6 minutes . Have a nice day you nice conservative .

  • Drfong2112 Do liberals have a problem with their reading? Maybe you've never done any research? Every single FACT that I have put down here is simple to find online. If liberals had any brains, they might be able to do a little research. Of course, if liberals had brains, they'd be Republicans.

  • Drfong2112 What's really scary is uneducated people like you can vote. If there was an IQ test required to take before people were able to vote with minimum score of 90, 3/4 of liberals wouldn't be able to vote!

  • Drfong2112 You liberals are really a bunch of losers. Everytime facts are presented that show you are wrong, ALL OF SAY THE EXACT SAME THING: "Those (facts presented) are lies". Wittumy wanted proof of my earlier statements. I presented them and he's run from the debate (another trait of liberals - run from the fight).

  • Oh I do I vote.

  • Drfong2112 I've listed (on the SIX previous pages) the facts that show Hussein had connections with terrorists and al-Qaeda and that Clinton not only passed on several opportunities to capture or kill bin Laden and passed them up, he had Sandy Berger cover for him by having Berger destroy secret documents. All you can do is call me a Texas trash hauler. Pathetic.

  • More Texas trash from a Texas trash hauler. No shortage of that in America.

  • Drfong2112 I bet you are one of those peace-loving hippies who wears flowers in your hair and roots for the enemy of America. Just the kind of people who will never do ANYTHING to protect America.

  • Drfong2112 It's obvious from your remarks you have nothing intelligent to say, so you have to use insults and call people names just to feel smart. A typical liberal.

  • wittumy: You come from a period that smoking too much of that "whacky-tabacky" distorted you ability to see anything outside your liberal ideas of how things should be. You have no honor or respect for our country, our military, and our president. You and your likes will always ignore the good of our country and lay blame on you homeland. You are embarrassment to your country.

  • wittumy: It's obvious you will never try to research anything that opposes your distorted, socialist, liberal view of reality. It's people like you who are going to weaken and ruin our country. You live in some fairy land dream world where all is fine everywhere else, but here in America.

  • wittumy: Saddam Hussein, the man also called "The Butcher of Baghdad", owned and operated a full-service general store for global terrorists, complete with cash, diplomatic aid, safe haven, training, and even medical attention.

  • wittumy: Such assistance violated United Nations Security Council Resolution 687. He aided and abetted terrorist groups such as Abu Nidal Organization, Ansar al-Islam, Arab Liberation Front, Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), Mujahedine-e-Khalq (MEK), and the Palestine Liberation Front.

  • wittumy: Saddam Hussein's government supported terrorism by paying "bonuses" of up to $25,000 to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers. Tariq Aziz, Hussein's own deputy prime minister, was stunningly candid about the Baathist government's underwriting of terrorist killings in Israel.

  • wittumy: In addition to funds, Saddam Hussein's government provided diplomatic help to Islamic extremists. One of the terrorists who was given aid from Hussein was Abu Abbas, the mastermind of the hijacking of an the "Achille Lauro", an Italian cruise ship.

  • wittumy: 400 passengers were held hostage for 44 hours. One of the jewish passengers, Leon Klinghoffer, was confined to a wheelchair, shot, then rolled off the ship into the Mediterranean.

  • wittumy: The hijackers surrendered to Egyptian authorities in exchange for safe passage to Tunisia. Abu Abbas then joined them on a flight to freedom aboard an Egypt Air jet. However, four U.S. fighter planes forced the airliner to land at a NATO base in Sicily. Italian officials took the hijackers into custody. But Abbas possessed the ultimate get-out-of-jail card: An Iraqi diplomatic passport.

  • wittumy: Saddam Hussein was the Conrad Hilton of the terrorist world. He provided a place for terrorists to kick back, relax, and reflect after killing people for a living. After escaping Italian police in October 1985 following the Achille Lauro hijacking (thanks to his Iraqi diplomatic passport), Abu Abbas finally ended up in Baghdad in 1994, where he lived comfortably as one of Saddam Hussein's guests. U.S. soldiers caught Abbas in Iraq in April 2003.

  • wittumy: Abbas' Baghdad sojourn was not an isolated incident. Terror mastermind Abu Nidal also enjoyed Hussein's hospitality. Nidal lived comfortably in Iraq between 1999 and August 2002, and Nidal's Beirut office said he entered Iraq "with the full knowledge and preparations of the Iraqi authorities."

  • wittumy: Nidal ran the eponymous Abu Nidal Organization — a Palestinian terror network behind attacks in 20 countries, at least 407 confirmed murders, and some 788 other terror-related injuries.

  • wittumy: Hussein harbored terrorists (many with al-Qaeda links) responsible for international mayhem and even the incidental deaths of Americans.... Enter Abdul Rahman Yasin. This Indiana-born, Iraqi-reared terrorist remains wanted by the FBI for his role in the February 26, 1993 World Trade Center attack.

  • wittumy: President Bill Clinton's Justice Department indicted Yasin for mixing the chemicals in the bomb that exploded in the parking garage beneath the Twin Towers, killing six and injuring 1,042 people in New York. Soon after the smoke cleared, Yasin returned to Iraq. Coalition forces have discovered documents that show he enjoyed housing and a monthly government salary.

  • wittumy: Hussein's general store for terrorists included medical care, too. Abu Musab al Zarqawi, who ran al al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, found his way to Baathist Baghdad for medical treatment for a leg injury sustained while dodging American GIs.

  • wittumy: Once he was back on his foot, Zarqawi then opened an Ansar al-Islam terrorist training camp in northern Iraq. Zarqawi is thought to be behind the October 28, 2002 assassination of Lawrence Foley.

  • wittumy: The Associated Press reports that Coalition forces shut down at least three terrorist training camps in Iraq. The most notorious of these was the base at Salman Pak, about 15 miles southeast of Baghdad. Before the war, numerous Iraqi defectors said the camp featured a passenger jet on which terrorists sharpened their air piracy skills.

  • wittumy: Sabah Khodada, a former Iraqi army captain who once worked at Salman Pak, granted an interview to the PBS television program "Frontline" on October 14, 2001. Khodada said in the interview, "This camp is specialized in exporting terrorism to the whole world."

  • wittumy: He added: "Training includes hijacking and kidnapping of airplanes, trains, public buses, and planting explosives in cities ... how to prepare for suicidal operations." He continued: "We saw people getting trained to hijack airplanes...They are even trained how to use utensils for food, like forks and knives provided in the plane."

  • wittumy:

    Does that sound familiar?

  • wittumy: So does all of this, or anything else, suggest a tie between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda? Some evidence is interesting but far from solid, such as this image that appeared on the front page of the March 27, 2003 New York Post showing U.S. troops at an Iraqi military base in Nasariyah. They encountered a mural that seems to celebrate the destruction of the Twin Towers.

  • wittumy: Recall that Abdul Rahman Yasin, one of the al-Qaeda bombers who hit the World Trade Center in 1993, fled to Iraq after that attack and lived there freely, reportedly with a government salary. That's one clear link to al-Qaeda.

  • wittumy: Then there is the interesting case of Ahmad Hikmat Shakir — an Iraqi VIP facilitator who worked at the international airport in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Senate Intelligence Committee's report on pre-Iraq-War intelligence indicates that, "Shakir claimed he got this job through Ra'ad al-Mudaris, an Iraqi Embassy employee" in Malaysia.

  • wittumy: On January 5, 2000, Shakir greeted Khalid al Midhar and Nawaz al Hamzi at Kuala Lampur's airport. He then escorted them to a local hotel where these September 11 hijackers met with 9/11 conspirators Ramzi bin al Shibh and Tawfiz al Atash.

  • wittumy: Five days later, according to The Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes, Shakir disappeared. Khalid al Midhar and Nawaz al Hamzi subsequently spent the morning of September 11, 2001 flying American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon, killing 184 people.

  • wittumy: Shakir, the Iraqi airport greeter, was arrested in Qatar on September 17, 2001. On his person and in his apartment, authorities discovered documents connecting him to the 1993 WTC bomb plot and "Operation Bojinka," al-Qaeda's 1995 plan to blow up 12 jets simultaneously over the Pacific.

  • wittumy: Ahmed Hikmat Shakir's name appears on three different rosters of the late Uday Hussein's prestigious paramilitary group, the Saddam Fedayeen. A government source told the Wall Street Journal that the papers identify Shakir as a lieutenant colonel in the Saddam Fedayeen.

  • wittumy: Ahmad Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani was Consul and Second Secretary at Iraq's Czech embassy between March 1999 and April 22, 2001. He long has been suspected of meeting with September 11 ringleader Mohamed Atta, most likely on April 8, 2001.

  • wittumy: Czech intelligence found Al-Ani's appointment calendar in Iraq's Prague embassy, presumably after Saddam Hussein's defeat. Al-Ani's diary lists an April 8, 2001, meeting with "Hamburg student." Maybe, in a massive coincidence, Al-Ani dined with a young scholar and chatted about Hegel and Nietzsche.

  • wittumy: Or perhaps Al-Ani saw a former student from Hamburg named Mohamed Atta to discuss more practical matters. The Czech government sticks to their contention that they did observe this Iraqi diplomat meeting with Mohamed Atta just five months before 9-11.

  • wittumy: If you and the rest of your liberal Democrat idiots would pull your heads out of the sand and do some research to try to find the TRUTH, instead of listening to your "blame America first" anti-American liberal jack-ass Democrat morons, you might learn something!

  • wittumy:

    A.) In 2000, an unmanned Predator flew over al-Qaida training camps, where a picture of a very tall man (bin Laden is 6'5") surrounded by a group guards. The video was shot at Tarnak Farm, the walled compound where bin Laden was known to live. If Clinton had bin Laden in sights in real time, why was no action taken?

  • wittumy:

    B.) Gary Schroen, a former CIA station chief in Pakistan, says the White House required the CIA to attempt to capture bin Laden alive, rather than kill him. Bill Clinton exaggerated his record when it came to strategizing against Osama bin Laden. Despite Clinton's angry assertion ("I worked hard to try and kill him") to Chris Wallace in last year's controversial Fox interview, he never gave the CIA an assassination order regarding bin Laden.

  • wittumy: During Clinton's interview with Chris Wallace, Clinton mentioned Richard Clarke's name 11 times. Clinton said Clarke's book told of Clinton's comprehensive work to protect the country against terrorism. Clarke's book, IN FACT, does not support Clinton's claim. Clarke's book pretty much supports the conventional wisdom: that the Clinton Administration passed on several chances to either apprehend or kill bin Laden during the 1990s.

  • wittumy: It is known that Clarke's book full of infatuations and lies. Clarke says Clinton tried to "convince - as opposed to, say, order, U.S. military and intelligence agencies to kill bin Laden. Clarke then states that when those agencies 'refused to act', Clinton gave up." According to Clarke's pro-Clinton view, the reason why the president was stymied by Republican opposition.

  • wittumy:

    C,) The Clinton administration treated bin Laden as a law enforcement problem.

  • wittumy:

    D.) Bob Kerry, a former senator and current 9/11 commission member, said, "The most important thing the Clinton administration could have done would have been for the president, either himself or by going to Congress, asking for a congressional declaration to declare war on al-Qaida, a military-political organization that had declared war on us." He didn't do it.

  • wittumy:

    E.) On at least three separate occassions,foreign governments actually offered to hand him over on a silver platter - but the Clinton White House refused to accept him.

  • wittumy: (1.) In "Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001", written by Steve Coll, Coll raises doubts about the truth of whether Sudan actually offered to arrest bin Laden and hand him over to the U.S. (while Clinton was president).

  • wittumy: Cole states there there is "lack of evidence". Who did Cole get his information from? SANDY BERGER... the one who took and destroyed information about what the Clinton administration did and knew about AQ and bin Laden from the National Archives!

  • wittumy:

    (a) In 1996, when bin Laden was living in Sudan, the Sudanese government offered to extradite him to the U.S. or allow U.S. forces to seize him there. But the Clinton White House failed to accept the offer, believing there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute bin Laden.

  • wittumy:

    (b) In 2000, while bin Laden was hiding in Afghanistan, an Arab official made a back-channel offer to produce the wanted terrorist en exchange for the U.S. setting up an Afghanistan relief fund. Again, after a series of diplomatic gaffes, the Clinton administration declined.

  • wittumy:

    c.) Throughout the late 1990's, a secret Special Forces team was prepared to attack and kill bin Laden and often had accurate information on his whereabouts. Nevertheless, Clinton never gave the group a go-ahead, choosing instead to launch a botched attack with unmanned cruise missiles.

  • wittumy:

    (d) In 1996, the Sudanese government came under intense pressure from the U.S. "Sudan's President Omar alBashir was eager to end U.S, sanctions against his country for harboring terrorist and I persuaded him to offer to arrest and deport bin Laden," Mansoor Ijaz, chairman of a New York investment firm told the investigators in a exclusive interview.

  • The Clinton rejected it almost immediately because the administration didn't believe it had enough evidence to prosecute bin Laden effectively

  • wittumy:

    (e)  Again in July
