Did George W Bush say today that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11?

Question

Republicans have been arguing the opposit for 5 years, just like the WMD, so how do they justify the latest flip-flop of the Bush team?

Answer 1

He sure did.

Answer 2

This is nothing new. He's said it before, at least two years ago. So did Rummy. In fairness to Bush, he never actually came out and said "Saddam was involved in 9/11". What he did instead was every time he gave a foreign policy speech prior to the war he always followed up any reference to Saddam with a reference to 9/11 and vice versa. People started to associate the two events in their minds, so much so that by the time we invaded Iraq 69% of Americans thought that Saddam was involved in 9/11. Interestingly that was about the same percentage that was in favor of the war.

Answer 3

Al-Queda was responsible for the attacks of September 11th, 2001. The war in Iraq was to depose of a tyrant who was very close to being able to attack America and/or it's interests. The possibility exists that Iraq may have been involved with 9/11one way or another. Any perceived "flip-flop" may be because so many news outlets want to present their own version of the news and all sorts of opinions are floated. For me, Mr. Bush is in charge, not me. Mr. Bush, has to protect us. I don't have to agree with anybody, but when I woke up today, I still had my freedom, I still read my newspapers, cut the grass, drove my truck where I wanted to, and now I'm on my computer expressing my opinion. Those options were available to me because someone made a decision on a course of action to make our way of life possible. If doing so meant going into a country to neutralize a potential threat, while not succeeding to produce WMD's in the process, I think it is well worth it. Why? Because I like people who take action when it is required as opposed to those that are scared to move only to regret it later. I don't always agree with my government, but by living here, I faithfully and completely leave my life in their hands.

Answer 4

I am impressed. I couldn't make sense of anything he said. I don't know how they will justify, and still they won't pull troops out of Iraq. They aren't finished. They will leave them there indefinitely, to make the invasion of Iran easier. We haven't lost enough men and women yet, they need to have a reason to re-instate the draft, and take over more countries in the name of democracy. As long as nations can be divided among themselves, within themselves, they can be overtaken by the Dubya regime.
All the while, Osama roams free, carefully planning his next attack, training a whole new generation of martyrs.

Answer 5

Where is in any of the transcript of President Bush from today that he said Iraq was not involved in any way with 911. the 911 commission stated in their report that Iraq was indirectly involved. Where were you at when about a month ago WMD'S was found? Living in your make believe word?

Answer 6

Guess what.... They actually wait a few years and then tell the same thing before they said the opposite, i.e. Saddam was not linked to 9/11, then he was to help the 'let's go to war' with Saddam agenda, and now back to Saddam and Iraq are not linked to 9/11?

Tiz a vicious cycle of lies and deception i'm afraid. :(

Answer 7

I don't recall him ever saying they did have anything to do with 9/11. There are several dozen reasons we went there, one of them was WMD and they did find canisters of mustard and seran gas (i hope i spelled that right). There is also the FACT that Saddam had ties to many different terrorist organizations and was trying to get his hands on a nuclear weapon whether that meant buying or trading for one or figuring out how to make his own. A Saddam or his regime in general with WMD's or the want to obtain anything nuclear was very dangerous to us and many others in the world, Just as Iran or Korea with them is a very dangerous thing. I for one like life and am not ready for the end of the world even though I know it is coming quickly, the good part will be seeing Jesus.

Answer 8

We know Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. However, since democrats have a poor memory, I'll refresh it for you: Shortly after 9/11, Bush said that we will go after any country that harbors terrorists. Iraq gave aid and comfort to Zarqawi, a terrorist who was a member of Al Qaeda. Do you understand now?

Answer 9

Yes, he did, in a press meeting with reporters. Don't believe it? Just go on this link (on CNN's homepage 8/21/06):
