U.S. Ally Blamed For Iraq Suicide Attacks

By
Christine Lagorio
(CBS)  In Iraq today, a series of devastating attacks hit the northern city of Kirkuk. A suicide truck bombing and two other car bombs killed at least 80 people and wounded more than 180 others. The carnage from the worst of the bombs was horrendous, even by Iraqi standards. Passengers trapped inside a bus burned to death.

More than 4,000 Iraqi civilians have died in suicide attacks in the past six months, and Saudi Arabia bears much of the blame, according to Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie, CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey reports.

"We believe most of the foreign terrorists who are blowing themselves up in this country, killing Iraqi citizens, are coming from Saudi Arabia," al-Rubaie said.

The Iraqis and the U.S. military here claim 60 to 80 terrorist recruits a month enter Iraq, half of them from Saudi Arabia. They travel to the Syrian capital of Damascus, then cross the long and porous border into Iraq.

Al-Rubaie said he asked the Saudi government to crack down harder on would-be jihadists and to restrict movement of funds to Sunni extremist factions — especially those linked with al Qaeda.

"We would love our American allies to put more pressure, and more convincing on the Saudi government," al-Rubaie said.

One of Iraq's most hard-line Sunni leaders, Hareth al-Dhary, visited the kingdom last month. Al-Rubaie claimed he was publicly praised by King Abdullah as a mujahadeen, or holy warrior.

The Saudi connection puts Washington in an awkward spot because the kingdom is a favored ally in the region.

Washington has known about the problem for years, a regional analyst said. That there has been no action is an indication of the limited influence the United States has over the Saudis.

The fact that both Iraqi and U.S. military officials are now pointing fingers may be a sign that carnage has overcome diplomatic niceties.

the war is legal

the resumption of hostilities was only a matter of time since iraq broke the ceasefire agreement.....

blame saddam for iraq%u2026%u2026. Even clintoon and the dems wanted the resumption of hostilities back in 1998

US Vice-President Al Gore has told Iraqi opposition politicians that the United States remains committed to the overthrow of President Saddam Hussein. BBC 6/2000
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1854092/posts

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

Moreover, no international law can prevent the United States from taking actions to protect its vital interests, when it is manifestly clear that there is a choice to be made between law and survival. I believe, however, that such a choice is not presented in the case of Iraq. Indeed, should we decide to proceed, that action can be justified within the framework of international law rather than outside it. In fact, though a new UN resolution may be helpful in building international consensus, the existing resolutions from 1991 are sufficient from a legal standpoint. - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

Another dirty little secret that Cheney Bush LIE about.

Claiming we are fighting Al Qaeda, and saber rattling about Iran -- it turns our the Saudis are the foreign insurgents. Just like they were the dominant 911 attackers. Just like Osama.

But the US never says anything critical about the brutal dictators we like. Saddam in the 1980s, the Shah if Iran (who we installed after the CIA led overthrow of popular Mossadeq), like countless other brutal dictators we install or support for the benefit of the corporations who own our politicians.

JAIL CHENEY and JAIL BUSH. It is clear that they DELIBERATELY LIED us into a needless, horrific War.

UN MAKES NON MUSLIMS SLAVES
And Dhimmitude For All
Another arena requiring testimony is dhimmitude in Western institutions. This is %u201Cepitomized,%u201D writes Mark Durie, %u201Cin the slavish attitude adopted by Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights,%u201D in a 2002 statement to the Organization of the Islamic Conference Symposium on Human Rights in Islam in Geneva. Like a dhimmi, she affirmed the greatness and moral superiority of Islam, implying inferiority of non-Muslim infidels, and denied any possible voice of protest against Islamic abuses of human rights.
Not surprisingly, Islamism is growing at the UN, too. On August 5, 1990, explains David Littman, the 19 members of the Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers adopted the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI). This document very specifically subjugates all human rights to those accorded by Islam. [1] The CDHRI totally contradicts the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Yet the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in December 1997 published it, establishing its authority as a quotable UN source. For example, the 26-member Sub-Commission on Human Rights referred to it in the preamble of a resolution adopted on August 21, 1998. [2] That Islamic human rights is gaining ascendancy and credence at the UN should be of concern to all Human Rights activists and organizations.

END FASCIST NAZI TERRORISLAM APARTHEID NOW!!!
DHIMMI: A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Conditional protection. The protection of the Dhimmi is withdrawn if the Dhimmi rebels against Islamic law, gives allegiance to non-Muslim power (such as Israel), refuses to pay the poll-tax, entices a Muslim from his faith, or harms a Muslim or his property. If the protection is lifted, jihad resumes. For example, Islamists in Egypt who pillage and kill the Copts do so because they no longer pay their poll-tax and therefore are no longer protected.

END FASCIST NAZI TERRORISLAM APARTHEID NOW!!!
DHIMMI: A BRIEF OVERVIEW
DEFINITION: The status of People of the Book (Jews and Christians) under Islamic rule.
7th-21st century. The notion of Dhimmitude, originating in the 7th century, still applies today to non-Muslims under Islamic rule%u2014whether Jews or Christians, whether in Saudi Arabia or in Sudan. Dhimmitude began in 628 CE when Mohammed and his forces conquered the Jewish oasis at Khaybar. They massacred many of the Jews and forced the rest to accept a pact ("Dhimma") which rendered them inferior to their Muslim conquerors. Over the centuries, the ideology of Dhimmitude expanded into a formal system of religious apartheid.

Institutionalized apartheid. In Shari%u2019a law, there are official discriminations against the Dhimmi, such as the poll-tax or jizya.
No legal rights. Jews may not testify in court against a Muslim and have no legal right to dispute or challenge anything done to them by Muslims. There is no such thing as a Muslim raping a Jewish woman; there is no such thing as a Muslim murdering a Jew (at most, it can be manslaughter). In contrast, a Jew who strikes a Muslim is killed.

Humiliation and vulnerability. Jews and Christians had to walk around with badges or veils identifying them as Jews or Christians. The yellow star that Jews had wear in Nazi Germany did not originate in Europe. It was borrowed from the Muslim world where it was part of the apartheid system of Dhimmitude.

This should have been the second url in reference to my comment below:

Why the hell the American Press can make so many direct claims from an al-Qaeda video tape clearly showing al-Qaeda's self-proclaimed responsibility for the 9-ll attacks, and yet not be able to put these claims in quotes. Separate the quotes from the unquoted commentary in the following:

What is not a matter of public record:

The irrefutable evidence linking the 9-11 attacks to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

The veracity of an extraordinary list of confessions and charges apparently made without duress, persuasion etc. through al-Qaeda's second in command in front of a secret military tribunal.

http://www.defenselink.mil/news/transcript_ISN10024.pdf

(this exact article was actually linked to in a 9-11 wikipedia article as a source for al-Qaeda's affiliation with the 9-11 hijackers) and wonder why any specific conclusions are never quoted or are worse specifically innacurate in their conclusions entirely, at least in reference to the quotes they chose to provide.

And now ask yourself, with all the confidence and evidence apparently backing up these assertions, why is it so hard to provide conclusive, observable and unquestionable proof in a completly public forum and also provide complete and exact quotes in their full context that clearly establishes these claims.

What is a matter of public record:

The 9-11 terrorists were predominantly Saudi-Arabian.

George Bush has close ties with Saudi Arabians who have great resources at their disposal.

George W. Bush has proven over his tenure as President of the U.S., that he has access to and the will to spend enormously vast amounts of tax-payer dollars well into the the future to achieve his goals and desires, whatever they may be, money and human lives are absolutely no object.

Someone or some people who had access to government controlled strains of anthrax, planned the time and effort to launch this attack on the American public to coincide shortly after the 9-11 attack. The FBI has NEVER found this person or these individuals. Strangely, this very effective form of terror and this person or people remain very much at large and yet have not attacked again. One could be easily led to believe that a goal of this attack was to have it coincide with the 9-11 attack.
