Was it right afterall, for america to invade Irac.?

Question

like when america disided to atack irac bucause we thought that there was nukes there, but we didint did we. was it the right choise.

Answer 1

Nukes. Was that the real reason or the one they gave you? How old are you? The real reason for going to Iraq was for oil.

Answer 2

No one ever said Iraq had nukes. They said they might be thinking about working on them again soon & there might be some small scale research, but mostly they talked about chemical/biological weapons. Even that was only the justification given to the REST of the world. The US itself invaded to restructure the balance of power in the middle east & plant democracy to change & modernize muslim culture away from militant extremists like bin Laden.

I'm tierd of hearing about oil!!! In what way does the US or any oil company benefit in any way from this war in Iraq????? The development contract for Iraqi oil still belongs to the French. US oil companies pay dramatically more for oil with an unstable mid-east than they would if we had not invaded Iraq. If they pay less for the raw materials & charge us less for the end product & they sell more of it at the lower price, they would make half again as much money. They hate high oil prices more than you do, trust me. And, the US, specifically oil companys but all of us a little, is hurt economicly by any war in the mid-east regardless if we are fighting it or not.

Answer 3

Well people say we attacked for oil, but that doesn't make much sense, since we've already spent twice as much money on the war as all the oil in Iraq. No, I think the war had a lot to do with public opinion. The gov't screwed up with the whole 9/11 thing, and we wanted to hit someone, so we hit Iraq.


P.S. There is more oil in Alberta Canada, then in all the middle east combined...

Answer 4

At first I thought we should have just left irac alone. We had no proof of their nukes or anything. After 911 when my dad left the world trade center 20 minutes before the plane hit it, i changed my mind. We should not have started it, but since they had been planning 911 way before we started coming to them, i think we cant stop now. Bush will have to finish what he started.

I think it was a bad choice to rush in. After they attacked us though, we had to do something.

Answer 5

MR stevendklee is misguided. U must think with ur brain not ur emotions. Iraq did not bomb the WTC remember thats Afganistan hello ( that is what the jungle admin says). OIL OIL OIL OIL OIL iRAQ WAS ATTACKED BECAUSE THEY HAVE OIL OIL OIL OIL. If it is bcoz of the WTC and u believe that then u are very Stoop -id, that excuse is old it was used for Afganistan remember. What i suggest Mr stevendklee u do is that go study political science and u will have ur eyes opened chal

Answer 6

Don’t even start with liberal nonsense about al Qaeda not being connected to Iraq.

Have you heard of Ansar al-Islam? Probably not because our media pays more attention to Paris Hilton’s dog then our countries well being. Anyway, Ansar al-Islam is a radical militant Islamic group, that had been waging insurgency against the Iraqi Kurdish government. Both United States and the Kurdish government have found that Ansar al-Islam is directly linked to Al Qaeda and has a history of relations with Saddam's regime and Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization. Because recent attempts to stop the al Qaeda they no longer have a strong base are spread through out the middle east and can only provide support to some terrorist organizations. Ansar al-Islam being one of them. These people do not hesitate to attack Americans. They have been known to kill or kidnap American journalists and other Americans who happen to be near Kurdistan.

In 1992 members of Al Qaeda came to Baghdad and met with Saddam Hussein and Al-Zawahiri. Just in case you didn’t know, Al-Zawahiri is that jackass believed to be the mastermind behind the September 11th attack. Since then Iraqi intelligence officers that are connected to the al Qeada have hired numerous groups to perform American (among many other) assassinations and smuggle weapons. This is not to mention all of the all of those snipping at American troops in Iraq right now. Many of them are, without a doubt al Qaeda terrorists operating inside Iraq.

Is that not enough substantial evidence for you? Well, here is some more:

- Abdul Rahman Yasin. He is the bastard that worked for al Qaeda to bomb the WTC in ‘93. He fled to no other than Iraq. U.S. forces recently discovered documents in Tikrit, Saddam's hometown, that show that Iraq was giving Mr. Yasin both a house and monthly salary.

-Bin Laden met at least eight times with officers of Iraq's Special Security Organization, a secret police agency run by Saddam's son Qusay. He also met with officials from Saddam's mukhabarat, its external intelligence service.

-In October 2000, another Iraqi intelligence operative, Salah Suleiman, was arrested near the Afghan border by Pakistani authoritiest. Suleiman was shuttling between Iraqi intelligence and Ayman al Zawahiri, now al Qaeda's No. 2 man.

I could go on and on with this but I have other points to make.

I really don’t understand what was so goddamn horrible about Bush looking for WMD in Iraq. Why are you stupid people so mad about not finding any? Isn't that a good thing? When Clinton said that there were mass graves in Serbia, we looked. We found nothing. No one complained or moaned about, no one cared. When the entire world said that there were WMD in Iraq, we looked. We found nothing. People wont shut up about it.

Just because they might not have WMDs doesn't mean they aren't a major threat. There are so many other ways they could and will act against us if we don’t stop them. Just an example, ever heard of hydrogen-cyanide gas? The Nazis called it Zyklon-B. Iraq once had the worlds third largest poison-gas operations. They perfected making these fearsome weapons. Could you imagine what would happen if al Qaeda gets their hands on these?

If I had it my way we would hunt theses bastards down and eliminate them from the face of the earth.

Answer 7

The original premise was---weapons of mass destruction---we were told that there was proof positive of this and we were assured that there was a rock solid connection between the terrorists and Sadaam's regeime---absolutely none of this was true---none---and this was the very first instance in history that this country invaded another on anything less than a direct attack on us-----wrong again-------the administrtion was repeatedly told that the situation in Iraq would deterorate into factional fighting for position once Sadaam was gone and that if we took it on there would be little hope of us being done there for at lest a decade-----all of this was ignored by the administration in order to pursue this little "family vandetta" that was his major concern---that and the fact that this administration has alot of cuddle points with the Faad family in Saudia Arabia and we get the chance to do their dirty work while they cash their oil royalties---because Sadaam for whatever he was --was far more a threat to them than anyone else in the world---------------So wrong choice----wrong premise-------wrong reasons-----------equal ------WRONG

BUT--now we're there and we broke it --and we bought it --it's our baby to wet nurse and there's no simple way out---and with current logistics--same actions over and over and over and over bring the same results over and over ane over --we are in the same hung up record position that brought about years and years of tears to this country in Viet Nam--until they change something---anything with the approach here there will be no varying results ---it will simply rock on the way it has with no end in sight for the next twenty years----------all of this because one man decided to use his power to pull off a coup in a place where he had personal business to tend to-------------wrong----------------let me say though at this point ---OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM ARE THE FINEST IN THE WORLD--THEY ARE DOING AN UNBELIEVABLE JOB IN AN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION--AND PERSONALLY I SALUTE THEM---my heart breaks for the families of the dead and injured and the pain and suffering of the Iraqi citizens caught up in this madness--would to God there had been a voice of reason at the right time to have stopped all this but there wasn't soooo---we go on---

Answer 8

It has been confirmed across the board that 18-wheelers were seen going into Syria before the war, crossing the border soon after Iraqi intelligence replaced the border guards and cleared nearby areas for their passage. There are also eyewitness reports of the trucks going into Syria, and eyewitness reports of their burial in Lebanon.



The trucks with the weapons were tracked to three locations in Syria and Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, currently controlled by the Syrians, Iranians and Hezbollah. Sources I've spoken with that have seen satellite photos of the movements confirm that the WMD in Syria are at military bases, while the ones in Lebanon are buried. A fourth site in Syria, the al-Safir WMD and missile site, should also be looked at. From spring to summer 2002, there was a lot of construction here involving the expansion of underground complexes.



We have tremendous testimony as well, by General Georges Sada, the former second-in-command of Saddam's Air Force that 56 flights took place on converted Iraqi Airways planes in the summer of 2002 to transport weapons, along with a ground shipment. He claims to know the pilots involved. A second Iraqi general, Ali Ibrahim al-Tikriti, in an interview I published, confirmed in detail the movement of WMD into Syria saying that discussion on such a move went back to the 1980s. He claims his sources for this include Iraqi scientists and others in the regime that were very close to him even after he defected. He confirmed to me that Russian vehicles, including ones equipped to handle hazardous materials, were used. Reports of WMD being moved out of Iraq to Syria go back to 1997, and it is believed by many that weapons were moved in and out of Iraq using Syria routinely since the mid-1990s.



The Italian media also reported that their intelligence services had information indicating that in January and February of 2003, Iraqi CDs full of formulas and research work along with tubes of anthrax and botulinum toxin were sent off to Syria. By the end of February, Iraqi WMD expertise was already in Syria including a top nuclear physicist.



An Iraqi scientist also led Coalition forces to hidden stockpiles of precursor chemicals that could be used to make chemical and biological weapons. The scientist said some facilities and weapons were destroyed, and the rest were sent to Syria. Syrian defectors are also claiming that Syria is where the weapons are, along with Representative Curt Weldon's source in his new book. The Prime Minister of Albania even stated that based on information he has which is not available to the media, he cannot rule out such a transfer.



There is also a report that an Iraqi medium-range al-Hussein missile on a truck moved into Syria, and in the early stages of the war, was spotted briefly coming into Iraq, operating its radar overnight, and returning to Syria. Most reports about the transfer indicate missiles were included in the transfers.

So my answer, yes it was.

Answer 9

It wasnt because of OIL........ Its about JUSTICE.... We lost thousands of people on 9-11 and the ones responsible need to be brought to justice. Bin laden, etc There are weapons of mass destruction over there, they just havent been found yet, just as Bin Laden hasnt been found yet either.

Answer 10

Yes, because we have found WMD in Iraq. We also are serving justice to Saddam Hussein. It's better for the guilty in Iraq to die than for innocent Americans to die.
