| At a press conference on Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered an extraordinary statement that might explain why President Bush felt such a great sense of urgency about driving Saddam Hussein from power. Mr. Putin said that Iraq was planning some kind of attack against the United States. . . . According to Mr. Putin, sometime between the September 11 attacks and the start of the Iraq war, Russia's intelligence service "received information that officials from Saddam's regime were preparing terrorist attacks in the United States and outside it against the U.S. military and other interests." The Russians passed this information on to the United States, and Mr. Bush personally thanked a Russian intelligence official for the information. |
There is more, mostly about how the alphabet soup media is ignoring this important information.

O.K. Now someone explain to me how the networks can justify ignoring this story! It certainly was news worthy AND people certainly would have been interested. Trouble is, it goes against everything they have been reporting and more importantly, in my opinion, it might help the Bush political campaign, which 99.99999 % of news outlets would hate to have any part in no matter how indirect!

So now Iraq is back in the hands of Iraqis, let us see what is going to happen now. I do not want to seem pessimistic, but I doubt Iraq will return to a stable 'normal' lifestyle - and by thay I mean - live in peace without terrorists seeking to make a point constantly.

I agree with you JB. I think it will be just like it is in Israel. Terrorist attacks will become a routine part of life there.

It is rather sad, but unfortunately things seem to be proceeding down this turn of events. Somehow I have the feeling that I'm slowly growing more blase towards these attacks. I open the daily newspaper and read of another attack, I mention to my father how sad it is and life appears to move on. This attitude isn't what I want, but I can see it taking root in people around me. (my schoolmates) Iraq will probably end up being just a 'terrorist country'. Much against my feelings, I find myself agreeing with tenaheff and JB.

On CNN they are saying that Iraq will have legal custody of Saddam from tomorrow, but the physical keeping of Saddam will remain with the US forces in case there is an attempt to get Saddam freed. Question now is... when they do fully hand him over to the Iraqis is there going to be a jail break? Lastly, how com we never heard what took place after interrogating Saddam? Is it really true that he refused to give information?

I think that as the Iraqis take more and more power within their country, that they will stamp out the terrorism. They have had a harsh history, don't have to worry about "the international" reaction as Israel does, and have a lot of reasons to not put up with the mess. I really think that they will hunt down the "insurgents" and destroy them. They are probably going to need some help keeping Iran and Syria out of there though. I would hope that this is what the US forces will do for the next few months.

Nighthawk, if you feel that way then I guess you are assuming that most Iraqis are satisfied with the current government and will not try to look for power themselves? Besides the terrorists I feel there are those who are main interested in control and now that Saddam is gone there is room for an Iraqi mafia if you will call it that.
LAWMAKERS WELCOME IRAQI TRANSFER, BUT STRESS UNFINISHED WORK
Lawmakers on Monday hailed the transfer of power in Iraq as a positive step
toward democracy, but they also pointed out the security situation in the
country remains unstable and emphasized that U.S. work in that country is
unfinished.
