Mylroie must-read
Mylroie noted that after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, FBI probers in New York believed that Iraq was responsible. "The key is the identity of the mastermind of [the '93] bombing, Ramzi Yousef. ... The mastermind of the 9/11 strikes, we now know, is supposed to be Yousef's uncle, Khalid Sheik Mohammed."
Mylroie maintains that both Yousef and Mohammed were Iraqi intelligence agents who were given phony identities to conceal their ties to Iraq during Saddam's occupation of Kuwait.
Yousef, for instance, entered the U.S. before the '93 bombing on an Iraqi passport.

The Left said the same thing during Gulf War I
Leftists like Maureen Dowd and Chris Matthews have accused George Dubya of going to War in Iraq for his Daddy. The accusation always struck me as absurd and stale, but now I see it was more absurd and stale than I ever imagined.
"There are certain acts that transcend... ordinary human measure. Take President Bush's display of paternal love: starting a war to get his son (Neal) out of the news." - Lefty Writer Andrei Codrescu from his book Zombification.
So Gulf War I wasn't about Saddam's invasion and rape of Kuwait? It was just to change the subject from Neil Bush's S&L trouble? Apparently, the Left never tires of accusing Republican Presidents named Bush of bringing the country to war over petty familial concerns. According to the Left, Dubya did it for Poppy, and Poppy did it for Neil. And we're supposed to take these people seriously?

"Having gone to war in defiance of the U.N. and international opinion, the US stands isolated. Now the US and Britain have been totally exposed in that the threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) was a bogey and the story about Iraq buying uranium from Niger was a deliberate fabrication to dupe the US Congress and the world at large. By its own admission, the US is embroiled in a war of resistance with the Iraqi people, which is why it is relying on India and Pakistan amongst other countries to bail it out of the quagmire. It is not only question of body bags being received back home, but also the fact that the American army stationed in Iraq is frustrated. Indeed, its morale is at the lowest ebb, especially after knowing the mendacity of their government that they are fighting an illegal and immoral war."
