The war in Afghanistan was in response to 9/11. The 9/11 Attack was Osama's response to America being hired by the Saudis to push Saddam back out of Kuwait (Dessert Storm) ... which is a job Osama wanted his Al Qaeta to do, after beating Russia. (Obviously, Osama was pissed off.)
America held a no fly zone over half of Iraq for years, and expected now to just over throw Saddam and we would be greated with open arms. - You don't war with another nation, opress them for years and then EXPECT to invade to topple the Regime in Iraq and be Happily Greeted With Open Arms. Ain't going to happen, and a lot of American knew it ... but no, Bush and those who follow him thought THEY knew better. - I belive I use to refer to it as "Going to stur up a wasp nest." It did.
Lame excuse after lame excuse, which all turned out to be EXCUSES! There was no reason to invade Iraq ... specially when we could have waited for ALL of the U.N. Inspecters to do their job, and they had a lot of ground yet to cover there. We might still be waiting if The Bush Administration hadn't jumped the fence and invaded without U.N. regard. - Over 2000 soldiers would still be alive. 10's of thousands would not be mamed. 100's of thousands of innocent people would still be alive sitting down to dinner together.
America could have made America "SAFE" and America would not be BROKE!
Saddam hated Osama because Osama wanted to push Saddam out of Kuwait. We could have eased up on Saddam and he would have helped America to get Osama, in return for the lifting of sanctions that had been imposed on Iraq.
George really made a mess out of all that ... and a lot of people are STILL falling for his excuses. Incredable!

So far, the vast majority of evidence, including Senate hearings and statements by Bush, indicate no substantial link between Saddam and the 9/11 hijackers. Also, most of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq.
Given the claims made at the time, 9/11 was a partial justification for the Iraq invasion, so if you want to consider that a link...

From what I've read, the 9/11 commission, CIA, defense intelligence, British intelligence, and pretty much every intelligence organization there is said there was no link between Iraq and the attacks on 9/11. I also read, in several places, that Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein did not like each other. Hussein was a secular ruler and wanted to keep it that way, whereas bin Laden wants a theocracy.

Tough to tell. First our King tells us one thing & then reverses himself. 9/11 is another Pearl Harbor. It was allowed to happen so USA would get involved in the Middle East & help Israel.
We were fully informed as early as 1993 that the so called (by Muslims) "Towers of the Jews" were going to be attacked. CIA sources said an airplane attack would be most effective...Rick Rescorla had his friend Dan Hill,
ex-Special Forces,do a security check.
Iraq is about supporting Israel (having our soldiers in the Middle East) and oil. Hmm yes both are linked to help Israel and also to get human intelligence. Anyway all war is economic. Both the Dems & Repubs are full of sh*t.
We need the American Political Party. The best of both parties...? We are no longer the United States of America. We are Hermerica;
for her.

the vast majority of the evidence (congressional report, CIA report, 9-11 report) all say that Iraq was not really involved in 9-11 to any real degree...
the links that some do draw between the two seem very superficial and minimal compared to al-queda links to most other nations in the middle east...
so I do not believe that it had anything to do with each other...

Obama needs to win the conservative working type democrats over McCain. he will additionally choose Hillary's supporters subsequently it extremely is risky if he offends them bc then they only wont seek for him and by using indisputable fact that maximum are women human beings that are over 60% of the democratic celebration it relatively is taken into consideration necessary. The independents are probably to choose for McCain over Obama if McCain can prepare that he would A) artwork to get us out of Iraq or B) prepare how disasterous it would be for us to pass away. i think of that he can win conservative democrats bc he actual has an impressive character and that they wont choose to vote for the very liberal Obama. If I had to make a prediction i'd say that Obama will lose the election bc McCain will beat him in Ohio and Florida. it's going to be a particular race in Pennsylvania yet Obama would desire to win it, and Michigan turns right into a achieveable loss for Obama if Clinton supporters stay indignant approximately their vote no longer counting. i think of he will lose via a larger margin than Kerry yet will prepare a clean democratic celebration coalition.

Yes! The Special Forces found Terrorist training faculty's in Iraq shown to them by Iraqi citizens. That to me is reason enough to take out the regime.
