The War Against America: Saddam Hussein and the World Trade Center Attacks: A Study of Revenge

Book Description

The destruction of the twin towers of the World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon -- all within one hour on September 11, 2001 -- demonstrated America's shocking vulnerability to terrorism.

Yet terror had already emerged on America's shores eight years earlier, when the mysterious terrorist mastermind, Ramzi Yousef (arrested after a botched attempt to down a dozen U.S. airlines) bombed the World Trade Center in an attempt to fell the buildings.His attacks were viewed as the harbinger of a new terrorism, carried out by an elusive enemy driven by religious fanaticism to unprecedented hatred of the United States.

But is that perception accurate? A real-life detective story, The War Against America engages the reader in a gripping examination of the evidence regarding Yousef and his terrorism. It reveals the split between New York and Washington that emerged during the investigation and tells a terrifying tale of America left exposed and vulnerable following the mishandling of what was once the most ambitious terrorist attack ever attempted on U.S. soil.

Dangerous nuttiness.......2007-04-08

Laurie Mylroie is a well-known neo-con shill whose nutty conspiracy theories have been debunked ad infinitum by the FBI and CIA - but of course, that only adds fuel to the fire of the people who are inclined to believe her claptrap. Along with the New York Times' Judith Miller, Mylroie was an important conduit for the sort of whacky misinformation that helped to sell the public on the need for an invasion of Iraq - and to our shame and grief we now see where it has gotten us.

SPECULATIVE FICTION DISGUISED AS ESSAY.......2005-07-06

What trash! What a paranoid book! A true work of tendentious and speculative fiction disguised as an essay.

No wonder that Amazon stands ready to sell this book for $0.35! Even then, it's a quarter and a half wasted. No wonder also that warmongers Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle gave it a note of thanks. It reads like their own propaganda in their conspiracy to take over American foreign policy and steer it to Israel's favor.

But the Mylroie-Wolfowitz-Perle cabal DID succeed in having the U.S. attack Iraq. This only shows the tremendous importance of propaganda and the strength of the pro-Israel lobby. Nazi Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda, would be proud of Laurie Mylroie, since he once said: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

Memo to Bush Haters and UN: God Bless George W. Bush.......2004-09-22

Saddam chose the Iraq war and while most of us were sleeping, he was vigorously waging it. Before 911 Mylroie warned us that terror groups worked through STATE financing, safe harbor in a STATE, border passage allowed by a STATE, training camps located in a STATE. Iraq was such a state. The links to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing point to Iraq.

Freedom comes with a price, most of which is being paid in blood by US servicemen fighting terrorists all over the globe. IT IS TREACHERY TO ARGUE EX POST FACTO THAT THE INVASION WAS A MISTAKE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF OUR MEN BEING KILLED AND MAIMED.

They volunteered and accepted because of their potential - and NOT losers looking for a way out of poverty. They know what they are up against. They are the best educated servicemen this country has ever produced; the best trained in the world. They are confident and will win. Saddam chose war, America responded because no one else can or wanted to.

It's idiocy to say "we're not any safer." Freedom is NOT safety. Freedom is choosing to do what one ought to do. There are many more FREE Iraqis thanks to Bush and everyone down the chain of command.

Mylroie's investigation is first rate, and all the Beltway desk jockies who constantly carp behind the President's back about why US should not have invaded Iraq do not know anything compared to Laurie Mylroie.

A very compelling argument.......2004-06-26

In his June 24, 2004 speech at Georgetown University, former Vice President Al Gore endorsed this opinion offered by the Financial Times: "There was nothing intrinsically absurd about the WMD fears, or ignoble about the opposition to Saddam's tyranny -- however late Washington developed this. The purported link between Baghdad and al Qaeda, by contrast, was never believed by anyone who knows Iraq and the region. It was and is nonsense."

Of course, this statement is nonsense. Laurie Mylroie has written 318-page book that makes a compelling case that Saddam played a role in the World Trade Center and offers numerous documents to bolster her case. The foreward to the paperback version was penned by R. James Woolsey 16 days after 9/11. Do these two individuals know anything about Iraq and the region? Mylroie was an adviser on Iraq to the 1992 presidential campaign of Bill Clinton, while Woolsey service as the director of the CIA during Clinton's first term.

Myrolie's book reminds us of the case that the Clinton administration made concerning Iraq's WMD, its sponsorship of terrorism, and the threat that Saddam posed to the U.S. She also includes translations from numerous Arabic media to show how often Saddam had stated his intent to exact revenge on the United States.

Many of the connections outlined by Myrolie may not indicate an operational relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda. However, post-9/11, I believe we have to heed these words offered by Sen. Evan Bayh, a Democrat from Indiana: "Even if there's only a 10 percent chance that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden would cooperate, the question is whether that's an acceptable level of risk. My answer to that would be an unequivocal no. We need to be much more pro-active on eliminating threats before they're imminent.... Some of the intelligence is strong, and some of it is murky. But that's the nature of intelligence on a relationship like this-lots of it is going to be speculation and conjecture. Following 9/11, we await certainty at our peril."

The threat findings of the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici in 1995 included the threat that state sponsors of terrorism (a desgination the State Department applied to Iraq during the entire Clinton administration) could hand over WMD to terrorist organizations or support them in other ways with plausible deniability. In other words, Iraq and al Qaeda were not going to take out a full-page ad in the New York Times to announce their relationship. That relationship needs to be ferreted out. Myrolie's book offers an excellent beginning in the effort to establish the relationship.

Exposing the incompetence of US intelligence agencies.......2004-05-18

Given the 9/11 commissions politicization, we will probably never get a true story of what really went wrong, but Mylroie was verbally abused by one of the commissioners when she testified about the ineptness of the FBI and CIA. Those agencies failed to even read incriminating evidence, sitting in boxes in the District Attorneys offices in NY, which remained untranslated and un-investigated for years after the first World Trade Center bombing. The FBI and CIA bureaucrats must hate the fact that reconstruction of the WTC is taking so long because the gaping hole in the ground there now is a monument to their ineptitude. Mylroie is able to show a very plausible case of how Saddam assisted in the first WTC bombing. But since this goes against the grain of the bureaucrats and politicians in Washington, they do everything they can to discredit her findings. But it is very difficult to argue with the facts that were available to the agencies which pointed to a direct link between Saddam and Al Qaeda. Who was "the Iraqi" who suddenly appeared and assisted the bombers? Why were there so many phone calls made by him to Iraq while the planning was going on for the bombing? Why were the chemicals used in the bomb a formulation which Iraq was noted for? These and dozens of other facts make a very convincing case that despite the politically correct propaganda spewed by unnamed, and most definitely incompetent, "sources" at the CIA, Saddam had no problem working with his fellow terrorists, no matter what their name, including Al Qaeda. With all the bureaucratic finger pointing and rear-end covering, they still have not been able to dispute the facts Mylroie exposes in this book. It would be interesting to see what kind of help she could be to the US if allowed to be a bureaucrat oversight manager in one of our intelligence agencies. But of course that is covered in her newer book "Bush vs the Beltway" which is another indictment of our inept and incompetent intelligence agencies.

Book Description

Said K. Aburish presents an authoritative and timely book that explains the man the Western world fears the most. Drawing on the author's knowledge of and contacts with the Arab world, especially in Iraq, Said Aburish gives us an accurate, compelling biography and psychological profile of the man the western world fears most. The author worked with Saddam Hussein in the 1970s and is therefore able to add dimension and personal experience to our understanding of this remarkable dictator. The book includes an account of Saddam's series of personal quests: for recognition after being orphaned and brought up by a destitute uncle; for control of his country; for leadership in the Arab world; for mastery in the technology of destruction.
This is the frightening story of how the man who, with the encouragement of Western governments, made his country the most advanced in the Arab world in the 1970s, and through personal ambition led it to disaster at the end of the 1980s, and now fights for its survival. Aburish's personal experience and exclusive inside sources make this an important, unique and necessary look at one of the most terrifying leaders in the world today.

A complex but excellent biography on Saddan Hussein. .......2007-02-14

Most people living in the United States have been subjected to an enormous amount of hate propaganda concering Saddam Hussein. In the pre-Gulf War period and even to this day, most Americans have been brainwashed into thinking that Hussein was the closest thing to the anti-Christ. Although Hussein deserves this reputation up to a point, most people don't realize the complexity of ethnic groups in that country and of U.S.-Iraq relations. This complex but excellent book provides a fantastic introduction into who Saddam was and his relationship with the United States. What makes this book especially special is that it was written by an Iraqi. Although outside biographers can also write good biographies, there is somthing unique when the book is written by a native. This man is writing about his country and his leader, something which is a part of his blood and soul. Just by being an Iraqi, he probably knows more about his country than even outside experts.

This book is highly detailed, and it discusses Hussein from birth to about the late 1990s. It talks about how to pronounce his name properly. It discusses the involvement of Husseing in two coup attempts. The author acknowledges that Hussein was a thug, a butcher, and villian. There is no doubt about that, but he also exposed the hypocrisy of the United States. This hypocrisy is becoming more and more prevalent as this second Iraq war continues to drag. There was a time when the United States supported Hussein, even though it was known he was a ruthless dictator. They provided Iraq with weapons and aid throughout the 1980s. There is no doubt about that. It was only when Hussein began to reject the policies of the United States that he became an enemy. The U.S. government never cared for the freedom and well-being of the Iraqi people. Sadly, Iraq stands a important geo-political strategic point for the United States.

In many ways, Hussein was like a puppet on the world stage. He was under the strings of the U.S. and USSR. The author makes no apologies for Hussein, but he exposes the reality of the situation. Although Saddam was a harsh leader, he was able to calm the differences between the Sunnis, the Shiites, and Kurds. The United States is not doing that. That is why Iraq has turned into the meatgrinder that it has become.

Required reading to understand the current situation.......2004-04-29

Now, perhaps more than when Saddam was in power, this book is required reading in understanding the current situation in Iraq.

As Aburish so clearly illustrates, for decades the US supported Baath Party and Saddam Hussein. In the process they back stabbed on more than one occasion the Kurds, the Shia and other groups who opposed Saddam. This betrayal has certainly been a contributing factor to the situation as it exists now (2004) with various insurgent groups attacking US forces. While it's true that some of these groups are coming from external influences (e.g. Syria and Iran), it's also true that some are just people who view the US as a hostile occupying force. Part of the distrust came from the history Aburish describes here.

The notion that Aburish is somehow "anti-US" misses the point entirely. The US policy toward Saddam post Gulf War I was one of of "positive containment." As explained by a member of the National Security Council in 1991: "Our goal [was] to remove Saddam Hussein, not his regime." This meant that we actively prevented other groups from overthrowing the regime. Indeed, as reported by the major media, Kurdish and Shia rebel leaders were told during a coup attempt orchestrated by the CIA that they should "not get in the way of our operation."

How could we have dealt with Saddam? This is perhaps a weakness of Aburish's book, but it's one created in part by a totally warped US policy. At one point can we go back in time and stop supporting his brutal regime? Since we can't go back in time, how can we change our actions so that they represent true American ideals? In this manner of thinking, Aburish's analysis actually wasn't that far off. In the long haul we might have gotten rid of Saddam by a policy that supported the Iraqi people instead of one that resigned them to victims of both their own government and the US dominiated UN policy of genocidal sanctions - a policy that ultimately strengthened Saddam domestically.

With Saddam now gone from power this book is perhaps a little dated. However, it is necessary reading if you want a better understanding of the current quagmire created by the US invasion.

Highly readable biography of Saddam.......2003-02-16

Aburish's biography of Saddam Hussein is a refreshing retelling of a story that's been muddled by a decade or more of half-truths and lies. The strengths are that he himself took part to a large extent in dealings with the Iraqi regime during the decade of the Iraq/Iran war. Aburish's insights and commentary are invaluable. The weaknesses in the book become readily apparent. Said has some duplicity in the regimes attempted acquisition of a nuclear [device] and other weapons of mass destruction. Said is also anti American and anti British. When he addresses US involvement in the Gulf War his arguments become tirades against Saddam , the US and Britain. It's his very ant-US and British attitude that make Aburish's recommendation for dealing with the Iraqi regime nothing but a mechanism for the continuation of oppression by Saddam and the so called Ba'athists.

Aburish's own involvement in the regime and view of the US aside, I highly recommend this biography of Saddam Hussein. He sets right many misconceptions about the Iraqi dictator. His mother was not a prostitute and Saddam didn't commit [destruction] at the age of 15. These myths and other myths are dispelled. What Aburish does is to emphasize the tribalness of Saddam by setting it in the context of Arab culture. Saddam becomes less a madman than a ruthless tribal leader for whom you are either with the tribe or against it. Opposition to the regime is treated like a blood feud. Even Saddam's affinity for Stalin makes sense. Both were the sons of poor peasants widowers in semi-tribal societies (Stalin was ethnically Georgian not Russian) and both used control of the bureaucracy to help in gaining control of power.

In spite of its weaknesses The Politics of Revenge is a highly readable and informative.

Breezy but informative bio that attempts to explain Hussein's stature as the most popular dictator in recent memory. Nice photos, too!

Balanced view.......2001-06-04

Aburish has written a good book on Saddam Hussein. One has to remember that it is part of the writing process to understand your readers' perspective. So, in this case it means that Saddam has to be judged by western standards. I have lived ten years in Iraq and liked especially Aburish Said's critical thinking towards horror stories that come from Iraq. I noticed while living in Saddam's Iraq (1980-1990) that iraqis tell all kinds of stories that are not to be taken literally. For example iraqis said that one European ambassador had slapped on the face of his European subordinate. The ambassador in question became very angry at such story. Of course it was true that this ambassador was angry, but to resort to physical violence is very serious matter in Europe. Iraqis just added this minor thing about hitting to illustrate how angry he was. I feel that in many cases stories that are coming out of Iraq are not exactly true in western sense. Aburish analyses well for example the case when Saddam killed his health minister. Iraqis hoped for peace, so they mixed their hope of peace with Iran to the fact that Saddam killed a minister. So story changed in the minds of iraqis, who thought that this minister had told something bad to Saddam in order to make peace with Iran. Aburish corrects many similar stories with his rational thinking. Of course it is true that Aburish has written his book mostly from his memory. So there are few mistakes. For example Saleh Ammash didn't die in 1975 (perhaps 1985 is correct). But these are minor things, because Aburish is so well informed about the Middle Eastern politics. It is always pleasure to read Aburishes books. His book about House of Saud is written with great wit.

This is an absolutely wonderful collection of stories by some of the country's best current writers. Maya Anglou's troubling story about the difficulty of containing the past and Tim McLaurin's powerful tale of sin and redemption alone are worth the price of admission.

Book Description

North Carolina is well known for its fiction writers, but the state is also home to a number of the nation's best poets. In the past few decades, these poets have produced memorable work and received numerous honors. A companion to the contemporary North Carolina fiction anthology The Rough Road Home (1992), this book provides a substantial sampling of their recent bounty.

Poet Michael McFee has chosen from eight to twenty poems by each of fifteen poets. There is a refreshing diversity in the voices, from James Applewhite's down east tobacco farmer to Gerald Barrax's passionate urban man to Kathryn Stripling Byer's isolated mountain woman. The humor ranges from Maya Angelou's serious wit to Jonathan Williams's verbal improvisations. And there is a healthy variety in form and tone, from A. R. Ammons's free verse ruminations to Fred Chappell's vigorous, witty narratives in traditional forms.

But there is also a fundamental unity to these poets. They are all North Carolina writers, who were born in or have long lived in the state, and whose verbal consciousness has been shaped by the very nature of the place. Most importantly, they are all poets we can read with appreciation and great pleasure.

Customer Reviews:

A terrific anthology.......2000-06-18

This anthology could have included a lot more than fifteen poets: North Carolina is for some reason full of remarkable writers, many poets among them. But by limiting the number of authors represented, Michael McFee is able to offer us a significant profile of each. Would that more anthologists took this approach! And this is a pretty varied crowd. There's A.R. Ammons, two-time winner of the National Book Award, and Maya Angelou, known to practically everyone after her appearance at the 1992 Presidential Inauguration--and then there's little-known Jonathan Williams, whose whimsical, often outrageous poems have usually been published by small presses. There's Robert Morgan, who writes of Appalachian life, and James Applewhite, who writes about the tobacco country down east. Some of these writers, such as Angelou, James Seay, and Betty Adcock, grew up in other parts of the South, and virtually all of them have traveled widely; despite its subtitle, this collection is anything but provincial. It's a must-have for those interested in North Carolina writing, but anyone who appreciates good poetry will enjoy this book.

Book Description

Rough Road Home is a novel of triumph over mental suffering and failed love in which a young woman's longing makes her the slave to fantasies and fate. It is the contemporary account of Alice Percey, abandoned as a baby by her mother. This novel flows smoothly through Alice's young life, the years of turmoil including childhood cataclysms that will later mold, dominate and haunt (in dreams and flashbacks) her adult existence, her brief happiness and the final years of peace and stability. Learning at age twelve of her abandonment and later adoption led, at times, to irate responses to loving acts by others. Alice's first three attempts at a meaningful relationship with a man failed miserably, leaving her distraught and weary of men, with a daughter to rear alone. Alice later married James Wall—together they turned his real estate job into a giant corporation.

Runs out of steam.......2004-07-14

This book chronicles the arrival in rural Vermont in the early 1950s of a widow and her five young children, and how they established a new life for themselves together there. Melissa Mather had been living on an army base in Virginia with her husband and children. The Korean War was looming, and it became obvious that her husband would be deployed overseas. Meanwhile, one of her children, Mike, was autistic, and his uncontrolled behavior on the base was making him unwelcome there. Melissa set off in search of a rural house that would be cheap and far from neighbors and traffic so that Mike would be safe living there. At last, in Vermont, she found a house meeting her requirements. But life seldom goes according to plan, and before she was ready to move, Mike was expelled from the base and her husband's plane went down, so it was off to Vermont in March for the grieving family, while the snow was still thick on the ground.

Mather must have had a phenomenal amount of inner strength, strength to feed, house, and clothe her growing brood. She quickly learned how hospitable Vermonters can be as neighbors, how they accepted Mike's differences without passing judgment on her or her other children. Of course, some people could still be hard to live with, like the neighbor who couldn't be bothered to fence to his cows properly, but most were fine characters.

As I read this book, I found myself drawn deeper and deeper into Mather's tragic story, and her heroic struggle. For chapter after chapter, I could not put the book down. Then, suddenly, Mather seemed to run out of steam as Vermont farm life began to define her experience, and the story began to drag. Towards the end of the book, she devotes almost an entire chapter to the detailed history of a 1950s town politics debacle over school expansion. By this point, it seemed almost as though she were clutching at any material she could to fill out the book to monograph size. On another level, however, bringing out the importance of town politics certainly demonstrates how her priorities changed once she had settled in. She was no longer focused so much on the day-to-day details of survival; she was in the slow lane at last.
