If Osama Ben Laden was to get caught in Afghanistan do you think it was worth going to war in Iraq?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

The official story on Iraq has never made sense. The connection that the Bush administration has tried to draw between Iraq and al-Qaida has always seemed contrived and artificial. In fact, it was hard to believe that smart people in the Bush administration would start a major war based on such flimsy evidence. The pieces just didn't fit. Something else had to be going on; something was missing. In recent days, those missing pieces have finally begun to fall into place. As it turns out, this is not really about Iraq. It is not about weapons of mass destruction, or terrorism, or Saddam, or U.N. resolutions. This war, should it come, is intended to mark the official emergence of the United States as a full-fledged global empire, seizing sole responsibility and authority as planetary policeman. It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the "American imperialists" that our enemies always claimed we were. Once that is understood, other mysteries solve themselves. For example, why does the administration seem unconcerned about an exit strategy from Iraq once Saddam is toppled? Because we won't be leaving. Having conquered Iraq, the United States will create permanent military bases in that country from which to dominate the Middle East, including neighboring Iran.
This Is The Real Goal Of USA In Iraq.

Answer 3

The war in Iraq is for an entirely different reason...it was because Saddam was suspected of possessing weapons of mass destruction. The only thing common with Osama Bin Laden is that it was labelled as a part of the "fight/war against terrorism". Basically it was a threat to the US. Also, control over Iraq means more Oil for the States.

Answer 4

What do Osama and Iraq have to do with each other? Why are you artificially connecting them?

They were two completely different things. There were numerous reasons for the 30+ nation coalition going into Iraq, with a UN resolution authorizing the use of force to secure Iraqi compliance to previous resolutions.

And, for those idiots who for some strange reason believe that either President Bush or his supporters think that Iraq was involved in 9/11, I have no idea where you find these falsehoods. Bush never said they were connected, his supporters never said they were connected.

What was said, and it has been proven, is that Saddam supported Al Qaeda, and even had training bases for them in Iraq. Ergo, they were supporters of international terrorism, in addition to having flouted the UN ceasefire agreements to dismantle their WMD programs.

This is basic history, folks. It's not rocket science. You either need to have paid attention the first time, or you need to dig for the facts yourselves. Letting others interpret events for you will not help your comprehension of current events.

Answer 5

No, because Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with the war in Iraq.

Saddam had nothing to do with the attacks on 9-11-01 no matter what President George and his cronies have said in the past.

Answer 6

The two are not linked. To believe we are in Iraq b/c of Osama bin Laden is silly and wrong. So, no, even if we catch him, it will not have been worth the occupation in Iraq.

Answer 7

Osama has nothing to do with the war in Iraq.

Answer 8

Osama has nothing to do with the war in Iraq. Its all about the OIL, dude! Its all about the Texas Oilmen getting rich. Its all about Haliburton dividends!!!! Dont you get it?

Answer 9

No the war is for fuel not for osama.

Answer 10

Unfortunately, contrary to what the Bush administration tells you, the 2 points are not related. he's probably fly-fishing right now at the Bush ranch in Texas.

Answer 11

no, even if he wasn't: no

I fail to see the link between irak and osama
