Stupid to say such a thing.

You don't understand the nature of asynchronous warfare if you think that this is true.

Bush: Bin Laden Ordered Non-Iraq Attacks

By DEB RIECHMANN
Associated Press Writer



WASHINGTON (AP) -- Seeking to rally support for the war, President Bush released intelligence asserting that Osama bin Laden in 2005 ordered creation of a terrorist unit to hit targets outside Iraq, including the United States.

The information, which Bush was to cite Wednesday in a commencement address at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, was declassified by the White House on Tuesday. It expands on a classified bulletin the Homeland Security Department issued in March 2005.

The bulletin, which warned that bin Laden had enlisted Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, his senior operative in Iraq, to plan potential strikes in the United States, was described at the time as credible but not specific. It did not prompt the administration to raise its national terror alert level.

Bush, who is battling Democrats in Congress over spending for the unpopular war in Iraq, will highlight U.S. successes in foiling terrorist plots and use the intelligence to argue that terrorists remain a threat to Americans, said Frances Fragos Townsend, the White House homeland security adviser.

Previewing the president's remarks in New London, Conn., Townsend said the declassified intelligence showed that in January 2005, bin Laden tasked al-Zarqawi with organizing the cell. Al-Zarqawi was killed in Iraq in June 2006 by a U.S. airstrike.

"We know from the intelligence community that al-Zarqawi welcomed the tasking and claimed he already had some good proposals," Townsend said.

Reading from notes, she said that in the spring of 2005, bin Laden instructed Hamza Rabia, a senior operative, to brief al-Zarqawi on al-Qaida plan to attack sites outside Iraq, including the United States. Townsend did not disclose where in the United States those attacks were being plotted.

Around the same time, Abu Fajah al-Libi, a senior al-Qaida manager, suggested that bin Laden send Rabia to Iraq to help al-Zarqawi plan the external operations, Townsend said. It is unclear whether Rabia went to Iraq, she said.

She said the information was declassified because the intelligence community has tracked all leads from the information, and that the players were either dead or in U.S. custody.

The Bush White House in the past has declassified and made public sensitive intelligence information to help rebut critics or defend programs or decisions against possibly adverse decisions in the Congress or the courts. On a few occasions, the declassified materials were intended to be proof that terrorists see Iraq as a critical staging ground for global operations.

Seems as though Iraq is having just the opposite effect, thanks to Bush.

Fight em there or fight em here.

That's what it sounds like. Keep our troops in Iraq to get slaughtered.

At least that's what these war mongerers seem to want.

Since when did you care about your fellow Iraqi insurgents?

Asynchronous warfare means that fighting them there does not prevent them from fighting us here. They aren't pinned down. The Iraq war doesn't cost them money and lose them troops. Quite the opposite, in fact.

So it's a ridiculous thing to say, really.

Perhaps Reverend HellH0und is clueless to the fact that we're already fighting them here, and may be in for more of a surprise as the blowback continues.

really? It seems to me that typing on the keyboard isn't the same thing as fighting.

Really tough guys don't need guns, btw. Only weak people do. You may want to change your avatar to match the image you try and project online, b/c it's kind of silly at the moment.
