BIG SHOCK!!
Bush Now Says What He Wouldn’t Say Before War: Iraq Had ‘Nothing’ To Do With 9/11
President Bush was in the midst of explaining how the attacks of 9/11 inspired his “freedom agenda” and the attacks on Iraq until a reporter, Ken Herman of Cox News, interrupted to ask what Iraq had to do with 9/11. “Nothing,” Bush defiantly answered. Watch it.

Listening to the politicians on T.V. make me sick. They are only worried whether they are going to have a job or not. They do not care about our safety. If they did they would be supporting Bush 100%. Whether they agree with war or not. We are there and cannot back down now. That is just what Iran thinks we are going to do, back down. Would we rather have the war on U.S. soil. I wouldn't.

I think it's sad how many people still believe that AlQueda was an ally of Saddam. They hated each other! They stood for competely different goals! So many Republicans still don't get it.
The president's full answer is also a lie. In a letter to congress at the time of the authorization to use force, bush said that Saddam was an Ally of AlQueda and implicated him in the 9/11 plot.

9/11 was an attack by Islamic fascists against the United States. We need to fight the terrorists where they reside including Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon etc. We are in a war against Islamic fascists and Iraq is our Normandy Beach in the Middle East. See the connection now?

He said Saddam was a supporters of terrorism and had ties to Al Qaeda, not that they were part of 9/11.

No Iraq didn't have to do with 9/11 but they did hide terrorist...and Saddam was torturing his people and we asked politely to let the UN inspectors to inspect and they refused more than once...so what was our choice...come on now...get real.

Just more proof that we went to "War" under false pretenses. Saddam is a criminal "Yes", but was not a threat to the US. Soldiers are dieing every day because of mistakes the US government made.

What is so bad about this administration is that you have to decipher every single word and then you still don't know the truth. I guess they're following in the footsteps of Clinton when he said "it depends on what the meaning of IS is".
Pathetic what politicians have become.

That's not what happend. He said, "Nothing, and this Administration has never said it did". You need to stop snipping in the middle of a sentence. It's tacky.

No ****. Who cares. He needed a reason to take out Saddam whom the CIA put in power.
