What does 9/11 have to do with Iraq?

Question

HERE ARE A FEW CONNECTIONS:

Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi-- DEAD -- was named as the link between Iraq and Al Qaeda.believed to be a close associate of Usama Bin Laden and Saif Al-Adel. A poisons expert; ran a poison and explosives training camp

Husam Al-Yememi--CAPTURED--a top deputy of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi who is believed to link Iraq directly to Al Qaeda.

Muhammad Hamza al-ZUBAYDI--CAPTURED--"One of Saddam's most ruthless war criminals" -Clinton Admin

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. HE HAS ALSO GIVEN AID, COMFORT, AND SANCTUARY TO TERRORISTS, INCLUDING AL QAEDA MEMBERS. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

G,, SO YOU ARE SAYING, that the cia report was wrong, since there was obviously a tie between al qaeda and Iraq, and we have found WMD?

Sidra, I think aiding the terrorists who were responsible for 9/11 is enough.

What did Germany do directly to the U.S. prior to WWII? Do you think we should have minded our own business??

actually annon, regarding us attacked by japan. they attacked as retaliation for us aiding Great Britain. We were not 'officially' helping, but we were no doubt aiding the Brits.

Answer 1

If you ask me.. You already have your answer. But how 'bout this? Who cares? Sadaam needed taken care of anyway! We find ol' Binny. Take out his ***. Then move on to Kim jon Ill or whatever his name is, then on to President "Tom" in Iran.
The U.S. needs to start cleaning house. The world can thank us later.

Answer 2

Iraq was tied to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing which didn't collapse the building like the 2001 attack which is nowadays often treated as if it was the 1st time the building was ever attacked.

But a lot of the Kool Aid drinkers have forgotten the 1993 incident and failed to note Iraq was involved in it in retaliation for the Liberation of Kuwait.

a Jewish group warned in 1994 that the 1993 attack on WTC would not be the last, how I wish I had access to that warning then.

I knew an attack was coming before the 2001 attack but I didn't know where or when.

Answer 3

The Administration was planning to invade Iraq long before 911. It was part of the Project For The New American Century (PNAC), drafted in 1998 by an inner core of neocon strategists, including Cheney and Rumsfeld.

I remember reading this document around the time I graduated from university, 1999.

Read RISE OF THE VULCANS, or go to this link:

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3249.htm

If you look at many of the statements they made ... Paul Wolfowitz, for example, the Deputy Defence Minister, said publicly in an interview, "Well the rationale for invading Iraq, based on weapons of mass destruction, was one that we could all agree to, that would have the broadest appeal around the world."

Long before they even came into office people like Paul Wolfowitz were talking about the need for invading Iraq and overthrowing Saddam Hussein.

It was an agenda item that was a light motif throughout the spring of 2001.

In other words, they looked at various rationales to select from and came up with WMD as the one that they all thought was best.

Not because there was a WMD threat.

Saddam Hussein, after all, had had chemical weapons, weapons of mass destruction, for two decades, had never used them against the United States and there was no information that he was about to use them against the United States.

In fact, the CIA Director George Tenet asked publicly in a Congressional hearing, "Under what circumstances does CIA think Saddam will use weapons of mass destruction?"

George Tenet replied, "We think the most likely case is if the United States invades Iraq.

Answer 4

were these guys there before we were... maybe al-zarqawi was... and he was a relative small fry at the time, if you know as much as you seem to say you do...

The CIA filed a report that said that Iraq has nothing to do with 9-11... but hey, they thought that there were WMD there, so what do they know... hahaha... I would cite the report, but I doubt it would make any difference...

I'm sure you and hillary know more than the CIA does...

No I am not saying that... I AM SAYING... LISTEN CLOSELY... THAT EVERY COUNTRY IN THE REGION HAS THE SAME, IF NOT MORE, MOST HAVE MUCH MORE, LINKS TO 9-11, SO IT'S A PISS POOR EXCUSE...

Answer 5

I didn't read all that you wrote, but 9/11 was the trigger to attack the middle east and sip the oil out of it thinking it will be cheaper, but surprisingly the cost rose much more than before whether for the dead soldiers, or for Bush's friends in oil companies who increased the gas price for no logical reasons.

If you will list names... since when was it required in order to kill someone to attack a whole nation? That's the snipers job. It never happened before, and shouldnt've happened except in our strange days with strange leaders.

Answer 6

9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq. Iraq was a personal agenda of the Bush Administration.

Answer 7

okay fallow me here, ill adress both Iraq and Germany. we went over to get rid of the teliban in afganastan, who was behind 9-11. iraq was providing amnisty to the teliban. also the iraqi government was forcing their people to live in such low standards that we had to intervene for humanitarian reasons (see also cuba as a spanish colony in the 1800's).

as for Germany in WWII. First we were recieveing an overwhelming amount of refugees from them our economic system couldn't support the influx of people. secondly, we were attacked my Japan, who was in league with Germany for world domination. therefore, by declairing war on japan, we declaied war against Germany and Italy.

at least you could have a more fact based argument than some quotes by people who were given cherry picked intellegence and lied to about its certainty.

Seriously i think you will benifit.

and you know that the CIA and DOD were at war for control of Iraq Info....it is all in the documentary....all the answers to your claims on intellegence...

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/view/

all you have to do is click and watch.....

Answer 9

Because it is swarming with terrorists. Terrorists are the ones
causing the trouble over there and all over the world now. So,
since terrorists killed 3000 of our peoples, we are willling to fight
against terrorists to help get rid of them and to keep them away
from doing the same to our citizens as they've done to the citizens of Iraq.

Answer 10

Bill Clinton, John Kerry and almost every democrat said the same thing .

Except Howard Dean, but he is unstable. Could you see him as President doing his yell at Vladamir Putin?

Answer 11

Here's a better question: What has Iraq done that has directly hurt America?
