Did Saddam attack the U.S.?

Question

How many of you still believe there is any link between the attacks on 9/11 and Saddam and Iraq? How many still believe that Saddam had WMD's?

Answer 1

He had WMD's they found tons of em. Maybe not the ones we thought they had but he had plenty of time to get rid of em. And as did he attack the U.S. no he did not. But if I give you a rattle snake and put it in your bed are you gonna sleep with it cause I told you it will not bite you? Same thing leave him in power and once he thinks he is powerful enough then he would have struck. Sometimes you just gotta go on the offensive instead of waiting for things to happen to you.

Answer 2

There isn't any link between Iraq and 9/11, did Iraq have WMD off course we did, hello we bought them from U.S.A do some research people when Rumsfield came and visited Saddam (even shook hands) we bought the WMD to get rid of the Iran movement and Saddam was promised to be the "Don" of the Arabs, he pretty much sold us out!!! Chat with a Iraqi Christian, they can tell you what really gones on in Iraq instead of watching CNN all the time..

Answer 3

No. But he did make the big mistake of attacking Iran with US encouragement and support in the 80s, resulting in an 8 year war. He was also conned into thinking the US would say "not a lot" if he invaded Kuwait to regain for Iraq some oil rich territory (1990) . The US didn't say much, but they did plenty.
I think if he had any WMDs he got rid of them after that First Gulf War (1990).

Answer 4

what troubles me most is the amount of our armed forces who believe there was a link between Iraq and Saddam. They should be told the truth, especially if they risk thier lives, they deserve the truth at least.

Fun reading:


That spring period of '01, there is that meeting where everybody's talking about Iraq, and my memory of things as I've read it is at this meeting, Wolfowitz talks about Laurie Mylroie, [author of Study of Revenge: The First World Trade Center Attack and Saddam Hussein's War Against America].

That's right. By the time we'd eventually had a meeting on terrorism, in the late February, early March timeframe -- I don't think the vice president was at it, but Paul Wolfowitz was representing the Defense Department, and Wolfowitz started saying, "Well, if you want to talk about terrorism, fine; let's talk about Iraq, not Al Qaeda," to which my reaction was, "Why Iraq?" Iraq, as far as we know, has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism directed against the United States, and hasn't since late 1992, early 1993.

This is the time when Wolfowitz spouted that "All of what you say is Al Qaeda must actually be state-sponsored, because no terrorist organization could do that without a nation helping them. And the nation must be Iraq, and we know this from reading the writings of this woman, Laurie Mylroie," whom we had known about and checked out several times. She kept writing things that essentially said Iraq was behind the 1993 attempt to blow up the World Trade Center. Despite all of the facts being the opposite, she continued to say this.

Here was the number two person in the Pentagon saying that he agreed with her and disagreed with CIA, with FBI, disagreed with all the massive evidence that Al Qaeda had attacked the World Trade Center in '93, not Iraq. Why anybody as sophisticated as a Wolfowitz or the others would attach themselves to that sort of stuff, I didn't know.

Answer 5

Me;

Saddam did not attack the United States; but he did pay the families of suicide bombers that attack Israel which is an ally of the United States.

Saddam also had to give approval for Al Zarkawi to come to Iraq after he was hurt fighting the US in Afghanistan. Al Zarkawi was a top aid to Osama and ended up leading the insurgents in Iraq for 3 years until we bombed him a few months ago.

Saddam did not have WMD's that could hurt the US; but he did have the ability to make them. He did have some military grade WMD's for use in artillery pieces and the like (500 pieces actually were found - but ignored by the press).

Now after all that look at it this way; a guy willing to pay the families of suicide bombers, with connections to al queda, and we don't have to worry about him making WMD's and giving them to al queda - not one bit to do we have to worry about that. You can thank your President of the US and 160,000 American service people for that - I'm sure you won't but you should.

Answer 6

Mr Hussein did not attack the U.S. Iraq did not have any WMDs. Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with those towers. The U.S. attacked itself. All evidence points to this and there is a lack of evidence for otherwise.

Answer 7

No, never. The US fed Saddam and used him to stop the Islamic Revolution in Iran in the late 1970's, equipped him with biological weapons that were used in his war against Iran and his genocide against the Kurds. When the US saw it fit Saddam was demonized, and... you already know the rest of the history.

Answer 8

Do not waste your time and effort man.. a lot of people just does not listen or think about it anymore.. the funny thing is.. it was the wMD.. but now we are fighting for the Iraqi's freedom!! (According to some Bush statements) God only know why we are there.. even the oil Fields were ruined.

Answer 9

If only the 600,000 people who were murdered by Saddam were around. They might be able to tell us about the WMDs.

Answer 10

.... no...

CIA report and 9-11 report both confirm this...

he did have WMDs, but there is no evidence that he produced any after the gulf-war... which is the reason we invaded..

does anyone believe Saddam was a bigger threat than Osama?
