Sebastian, perhaps I missed something - must have been my waterboarding experience.

What do Abu Ghraib, enhanced interrogations, and Bush have to do with Nordstream?

As for Saddam, yes there were connections to 9-11. Research the name Ramzi Yusef.

Saddam gave him the passport with which he entered the US during the Clinton years . Ramzi was part of the World Trade Center garage bombing. I was one of the investigators checking out the bomb-making facility, a garage in Jamaica, Queens New York, on assignment for Rudy Giuliani. This was not allied with the then new police forensic labs, also in Jamaica.

After having escaped from the USA, Yousef landed up in Manila, the Philippines. His bomb making lab in Manila blew up and police found hand drawings with planes hitting skyscrapers in the lab. That intel was given to Bill Clinton who never put two and two together. Ironically I was at Manila airport traveling through just after the lab blew up, when the airport was locked down. We found out after my return to the US that among the plans for the bombs were several airliners going to the US, mine being one.

The last I heard, after having been captured in Pakistan, Yusef is doing time at SuperMax.

Perhaps only a Sy Hirsch would assert that Saddam has nothing to do with 9-11.

Wow, you might be nuttier than Sy Hersh!?! Guess what, Qaddafi gave the Lockerbie Bomber a hero’s welcome and we killed him first chance we got…we didn’t referee their civil war while losing 5000 of our best and brightest!?! I will not be reading anymore of your 🐄 💩.

So where wErE ThE WMds?!?!?!

You're going to have to do a helluva lot better than that to convince anyone that the Bush/Cheney regime was telling the truth about a real, significant, meaningful Iraqi connection to 9/11 when they happened to let about 130 Saudis flee the country by air despite the airline travel ban in place at the time. Oh yeah, and this...https://www.mintpressnews.com/newly-released-fbi-docs-shed-light-on-apparent-mossad-foreknowledge-of-9-11-attacks/258581/

LOL random Internet dude with a Substack page or Seymour Hersh and over a year of video evidence, combined with the "Thank you, USA!" tweet by a guy who is in the circle? The Russians blew up their multi-billion Ruble investment that had already been shut down, but could be re-opened with the flick of a switch (and an approval of a replacement part)...Hmm...who should we believe? Again, LOL.

Perhaps this will help - you need to read the details carefully. For example, the Norway ship Hirsch claimed to have planted the explosives was in stripped of its equipment and put into salvage months before:

Btw, you do realize in 2022 America produced record amounts of natural gas and exported record amounts of LNG?? And right now oil and natural gas are no longer expensive. Diesel prices have also come down a lot.

Great post. I will take issue on one thing—Cheney pressured interrogators to employ enhanced interrogation techniques to elicit false confessions tying Saddam to 9/11…that is unAmerican and unfortunately Democrats totally screwed up the so called Torture Report by charactering all enhanced interrogation as immoral. BDS doesn’t exist—Bush is the worst president in history.
