The DebkaFile on 9/11 Commission Report

The often interesting although not always reliableDEBKAfile blasts the 9/11 Commission report for blaming nobody and adds:

"The committee's conclusion that America had more reason to go to war against Iran than Iraq is based on a fallacious, possibly political, comparison. Al Qaeda's presence in Saddam Hussein's Iraq from 1996 was quite separate from the Tehran-Riyadh-Damascus-al Qaeda arrangements. It has everything to do with the general terror offensive bin Laden has since launched against the Saudi kingdom and his organization's war against the US presence in Iraq. The thousands of Saudi terrorists who wended their way to and from Afghanistan through Iran are now fighting American troops in Iraq. "
