Two have been traced back to forged records that were tampered with during the occupation of Kuwait.

Also lets face reality here. No terrorist organization the size and complexity of Bin Laudins can function with out the services of a notional diplomatic organization, and the also need the protection and cover of national security organizations. As the remains of Iraq are examined, this will come to light.

Think we covered this before,
There are many reasons a Baluchi would like a Kuwaiti passport. This is circumstantial evidence
at most.

And reality ?
The Al Queada was mortal enemies of the secular Bath party. I doubt Saddam would have given any advanced weapons to Bin Laden as they just as well could end up beeing used on Iraq. The main political backer of Al Queda was Afghanistan (logically), with much of the funding coming from "friendly" nations like Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

I think even GWB has given up on pinning 9-11 on Saddam.

Then we will agree to disagree for now. You should look back at what got Bin Laudin pissed
off to begin with. Then remember that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” dates from an
older Arabic slogan “The slayer of those who torment me, will be my brothers in the greatness
of god.” The Arab world has always needed to set aside it’s internal differences to repel
invaders. It has become part of their culture. And Saddam was the kind of guy who could deal
with the devil himself. I would think that for a free hand in Iraq, Saddam would have offered
support and aid.
