text: did saddam really warn the us about terror attacks ? did the us ignore him or toke him for granted and felt they are too big for their shoes ? according to some 12 hours of tapes of meetings between saddam, his son's and cabinent back in 1995. saddam says that he has told the u.s. that any attack to the u.s. with weapons of mass destruction would not come from a country, but in fact from a terrorist group.  these tapes also reveal his son's speaking of moving wmd's so that the u.n. inspectors would not have access to them.  tareq aziz the vice president of iraq stated that with one batch of chemicals in a water supply could effect 100,000 people then why would a country go to war when this could be accomplished with a small group of terrorist's.  going to a wider scope of things if these countries that are so against the western culture can figure out that using terrorists to do battle with us makes more sense than actually declaring war on us themselves, thereby leaving us not knowing exactly where to turn to fight back.  is it no wonder that these governments have been manipulating us to battle the way that we have been doing it so far.  did saddam have wmd's, yes we know he did, he used them on his own people, we know that for a fact.  the public now also knows that the clinton white house was warned of an impending terrorist attack on u.s. soil as far as 6 years in advance in 1995.  we also know that he was moving wmd's that he said he did not have around the country to avoid the inspectors as far back as 1995 or 4 years after he was no longer supposed to have them.  we also know that he continued to trade for arms and other war supplies during the u.n. sanctions by the evidence that we found in the early part of the 2003 iraq war.  is all of this intellegence faulty, fabracated, or fact?  in 2001 bill clinton said that his administration would have been better able to handle the attacks of 9/11 than the new bush administration, and why not?  he had 6 years notice to prepare for it, was this knowledge even passed to the new administration, some say yes, others say no, and others still are not sure.  i believe that it was passed on and just as clinton had nothing really to go on neither did bush until it happened.  could we have been more prepared?  yes, should we have been more prepared?  well from this side of it, it certainly looks that way.  this is one time that we need to have actually learned from history, these terrorist's are telling us exactly what they want to do, and they are pulling us in a direction where we are going to hit it straight on like two freight trains coming at each other on the same track.  after the accounts that i have read i certainly believe that saddam warned us that we were a target and i believe that we should be listening to those who are speaking to us now because they are telling us the same truths today as they were 10 or so years ago.  let us not be manipulated into the next phase of this war, let us lead ourselves down the path we must take.
