A new Senate report that concludes there was no connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida apparently relegates to insignificant documentation that the federal government released earlier this year drawing that very conclusion.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has disclosed an October 2005 CIA conclusion that the Iraqi dictator did not have a "relationship, harbor or turn a blind eye toward" Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an al-Qaida operative, or any of his associates.
In fact, Saddam rejected approaches from al-Qaida and feared Islamic extremists as a danger to his regime, the committee determined.
But as WND reported earlier this year, pre-war documents posted online by the Pentagon included a letter from a member of Saddam's intelligence apparatus indicating al-Qaida and the Taliban had a relationship with the regime prior to

I did not support the invasion of Iraq. I did not believe there were WMD or that this was a good place to confront revolutionary Islamic fundamentalism--which we must do.
However, once the invasion began the equation changed. The country imploded. To leave without creating stability there means it will become a staging and launching ground for Islamic terrorism and/or become an Iranian outpost.
It is very true that the great ideological struggle of our time has started--Islamic Facism vrs. the Free West. It is remisincent of the past struggles against facism and monolithic communism.
Though I am pissed we are there--the war must be prosecuted to victory.

Hell no! Since when did the U. N. appoint us as the enforcer of broken U.N. resolutions. There was and still isnt any justification for us being in Iraq!Bush and his gang had a hidden agenda - and we have yet to hear threal truth as to why we invaded Iraq,when clearly the enemy was perceived to be in Afghanistan.
we have made a big mistake - just read the new release today about Iran wanting us out of IraQ and hear all the good stuff that we didnt know. I want detail all of the points just go see the press release.

NO. We had no reason to invade Iraq. Even if Saddam did have any connections with al-Qaeda, which I don't believe he did, it's not why we went to Iraq in the first place. We supposedly went over there for WMD's remember???

I support what the troops are doing. They are not only fighting for peace, but they are fighting for their lives and ours. We should all support what they are doing, they are why we have the freedom we have and the rights we live by. If no one was willing to fight in the war we would be giving in to the other countries who have tried so hard to destroy us and our moral. Those who are currently serving or have served before deserve so much respect from every American. We owe them they Thanks they deserve and have fought for. So to this I thank every soldier and Service member in every branch of service prior and current. Thank you and I support you.
As for the war I don't support the war so to speak but it is something that has to be done and will be won.
Saddam had treated the people of Iraq very bad and those people deserve as much freedom as us Americans have. there are Americans who take the freedom they have for granted but if they were the ones living in Iraq during Saddams Leadership they would have wished they had they freedom us Americans have.

No, I want our troops out of there. Our fine young men and women did not join the military to be check point guards and play security guards. What makes President Bush think that Iraq can be a democratic country ?
Show me one Arab country that is democratic.
Mark my words...when our troops finally leave Iraq will go back to the way it once was. You can't win the fight against insurgents. Why ? Because they think that they are right.

I am glad that our very liberal President Bush took President Clinton's advice and took out that far right wing conservative Saddam Hussein and his Republican Guard and Republican Palace and conservative Baath party so that Iraq can have a good, decent, honest Democratic Party like the USA has.

Most of the Iraqis themselves support our troops being there. So yes, I support the war that will lead to peace.

No. I did at first, but now I believe we are not accomplishing anything and need to get out. Those people will always be fighting each other and will always be up to terroist activities. Nothing we do can stop it unless we drop the bomb on them.
