   I found this little gem in response to the “claim” by Clinton, in the interview with Wallace on Fox, that no one knew much about bin Laden at that point or suspected his complicity when the black hawk down incident occured in Somalia. Not a soul, he said! Bull shit!

   But, according to a detailed account of the operational planning of that attack in Yossef Bodansky’s “Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America,” the massacre was actually the result of a well-planned, well-executed ambush by terrorist forces overseen by Osama bin Laden and supported by the governments of Sudan, Iraq and Iran…

   …On Oct. 3, 1993, U.S.-U.N. forces learned about the presence of two of Aidid’s senior foreign policy advisers, Osman Salah and Muhammad Hassan Awali, at the Olympic Hotel. Quickly, a helicopter assault of 100 American troops was under way. The two were captured, as well as 22 other Aidid supporters.

   But as the U.S. troops prepared to leave, they were caught in a well-organized ambush by more than 1,000 guerrillas. Two helicopters were shot down and a third crash-landed at Mogadishu’s airport. The U.S. troops established a perimeter around the crash site, but found themselves surrounded and under heavy fire for 11 hours.

   In that firefight, 18 American troops were killed, 78 were wounded and one helicopter pilot was captured.

   The next day, the guerrillas celebrated a great victory over America – dragging the bodies of the U.S. servicemen through the streets of Mogadishu.

   But it was hardly a force of rag-tag Somalian rebels that had trapped the Americans. The intelligence tip received by U.S. forces about the presence of Aidid’s men was the setting of a trap by a combination of Islamicist forces directed by bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri. The ensuing ambush was conducted by hard-core battle-hardened Arab “Afghans” and Iraqis. The main strike force consisted of troops trained by Iran and Iraq. Aidid’s forces were introduced later in large numbers to create the appearance of an enraged mob of Somalians taking revenge on U.S. forces.

   Like I said, Bull Shit!!!

   By the way, anyone want to tell me or anybody here that Saddam and bin laden had no operational relationship? Oh yeah? What’s this:

   I’ll just add these points on what I left above. 1. Black Hawk Down/Somalia happened in Oct 1993. 2. The above book was published in 1999. 3. The World Net Daily article was published in 2002.

   ALL of those things happened BEFORE we went into Iraq. Something to consider. This was all before people began to question the Iraq Al Qaeda connection. Just saying.
