The Presidential Assassination Attempt that Didn’t Bark

Huh:

An exhaustive review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents that were captured after the 2003 U.S. invasion has found no evidence that Saddam Hussein’s regime had any operational links with Osama bin Laden’s al Qaida terrorist network.

The Pentagon-sponsored study, scheduled for release later this week, did confirm that Saddam’s regime provided some support to other terrorist groups, particularly in the Middle East, U.S. officials told McClatchy. However, his security services were directed primarily against Iraqi exiles, Shiite Muslims, Kurds and others he considered enemies of his regime. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/29959.html

What the article doesn’t mention is that apparently they also found no evidence that Saddam’s regime attempted to kill George H.W. Bush in Kuwait in 1993. Nor has there been any mention of such evidence anywhere else since the invasion. All this despite the fact that we can be certain if the administration had found it, they would have let us know loudly and often.

Meanwhile, all of Washington has become discreetly mum about this, even though they were yammering about it constantly from fall, 2002 through spring, 2003. It’s almost as though none of it ever happened.

1. to recap:

There WERE NO WMD'S.

There WERE NO ties to Al Qaida.

There WAS NO attempt on Bush I's life.

Ergo:
There was NO REASON WHATSOEVER to illegally invade Iraq.

Can we send them to the Hague yet?

We're too busy letting M$M bombard us with Spitzer.

3. So, who DID try to blow up G.H.W. Bush with an IED in Kuwait during 1993?

Bin Laden? Khadaffi? Bill Clinton? Inquiring minds . . .

Inquiring minds . . .

4. I knew it was bullshit.

The MSM barely mentioned it when it "happened". They knew it was bullshit, they wouldn't touch it. Why is it that both Bushes had assassination attempts while visiting foreign countries? Yet little fanfare was made of these assassination attempts in the U.S.
