defending the USA?

Question

now we know there were no WMD, no way to deliver them to the USA and Iraq did keep the islamic terrorists out, how can the invasion of Iraq be considered in any way defending the USA?

no sorry Nicole, the secuirty council has never authorised teh usa to attack Iraq, as you can see this is an AMERICA operation not UN, you cant use the the UN to justify an american attack. If the USA enforced all Secuiorty council resolutions you may have a point, how ever they dont, so your logic is fataly flawed. The same guys who said there were WMD in Iraq are now saying that iraq communicated with on of the terrorists? are you sure it is wise to belive them? You will note that no one has said it was about the 9/11 attack, Al Khida was an eenemy of Iraw as it is an enemy of Jordan , Syeria and Saudi arabia there never were training camps in iraq nor did they have any organisation there, did a memeber of al Khida pass through iraq? I am sure they did as well as CIA agents did

nicole - Sadda and teh Baath party were secualr, islamists were their enemy, make note the extreemist attacks happened becuse of the american invastion they wernt allowed into teh country before the usa let them

a sound base for democray? you have to be joking dont you read the casuality lists?

no there were not WMD, they were not transported to Syeria, read the evidence to congress, that is republican spin you have fallen for.
It is the secuirty councils responsabilty to enforce resolutions when they have been decided what is teh appropriate course it isnt for the usa to decide. once again the usa cant use the UN to hide its agression,
yes it did pay support to the families but not to the bomber them selves so they did not support the terroists and even if they did that is israel's problem not the usa's
he isnt a terrorist for killing his own people , while he may be cruel and not democratic killing his own people isnt terrorism. just becuse the secretary of state declared something doesnt make it so. if the iraq is guilty of assisting a resistance movement in an enemy country then the usa is also 100 times over.
As teh usa shelters cubans who have engaged in the planning and invastion of teh bay of pig debacle so did iraq , if that makes iraq an terrorist stae then

Answer 1

It can't be and so has Bush said so!

This is his 13th changing of his rationale for the war, and probably the closest to the truth! This was uttered by Bush the week of Oct 7, however he has changed it yet again!!

His reason:

""We can't tolerate a new terrorist state in the heart of the Middle East, with large oil reserves that could be used to fund its radical ambitions, or used to inflict economic damage on the West," Bush said in a news conference last week in the Rose Garden"

Analysis: Bush keeps revising war justification By TOM RAUM, Associated Press Writer
Sat Oct 14, 4:23 PM ET

WASHINGTON - President Bush keeps revising his explanation for why the U.S. is in Iraq, moving from narrow military objectives at first to history-of-civilization stakes now.

He has no defense as it was all a lie! You can't base a defense on lies!

We knew there was no WMD's in Iraq before the war!

IRAQ has the beginnings odf a Constitutional government??? That's NOT why we went to war with Iraq! That is a subsequent reason!

And a Iraq has Constitutional government? Over 180 dead in the past 2 days in a civil war is not what I call a Constitutional government! AND, if you keep listening to Bush, we won't have one either!!

Answer 2

The United Nations exhausted every single diplomatic resolution to make Saddam stop shooting at planes in the No Fly zones and stop using the Oil for Food money for greedy purposes. The US military is the backbone of anything that happens in the UN. Regardless of what may have been in the news or what anybody is talking about now, this too was why Saddam needed to be ousted.

It was concurrent with intelligence that the world saw, that Iraqi officials were communicating with Muhammad Attah in Germany prior to 9/11, and that Al qaida had refuge inside Iraq.

The less totalitarian murderers there are in the world, the safer we are in the US.

By the way I never said the UN authorized the war, the UN can't even call the genocide in darfur a genocide because that would mean they would have to act on it, and the UN no matter what happens will never act. Your congress democrats and republicans alike all saw the same intel. I'll say it again, the world is a better place with one less totalitarian asshole in power.

Answer 3

You are kidding, right?

The country of Iraq now has the solid beginnings of a constitutional government - one that answers to the people instead of the other way around.

Ask yourself why the Islamic terrorists are resisting this change so violently?

Their demand is very clear. And their agenda is even clearer.

A one world government under Islamic law. No infidels - you will convert to Islam or you will die.

This ideology somehow doesn't sound like it can coexist with the United States.

Answer 4

One, there were WMDs in Iraq, they were transported into Syria just before the war. This is not a possibility, it is recorded fact, and if the UN hadn't been such idiots and stood up to Iraq and the 17someodd resolutions they issued sooner, we would have caught them red-handed. Second, it is the UNs responsibility to enforce their resolutions, and since they don't have the backbone to do it, the US did what needed to be done.
Secondly, Iraq supported terrorism and WAS a terrorist country. Saddam gave $25000 to the familys of suicide bombers that blew themselves up in crowds of innocent men, women, and children in Palestine. Saddam himself was a terrorist of the first degree, killing his own people when they disagreed with him. Furthermore:
Iraq is one of seven countries that was designated by the Secretary of State as state sponsors of international terrorism. UNSCR 687 prohibited Saddam Hussein from committing or supporting terrorism, or allowing terrorist organizations to operate in Iraq. Saddam continued to violate these UNSCR provisions.

In 1993, the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) directed and pursued an attempt to assassinate, through the use of a powerful car bomb, former U.S. President George Bush and the Emir of Kuwait. Kuwaiti authorities thwarted the terrorist plot and arrested 16 suspects, led by two Iraqi nationals.

Iraq sheltered terrorist groups including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has used terrorist violence against Iran and in the 1970s was responsible for killing several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians.

Iraq sheltered several prominent Palestinian terrorist organizations in Baghdad, including the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), which is known for aerial attacks against Israel and is headed by Abu Abbas, who carried out the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered U.S. citizen Leon Klinghoffer.

Iraq sheltered the Abu Nidal Organization, an international terrorist organization that has carried out terrorist attacks in twenty countries, killing or injuring almost 900 people. Targets have included the United States and several other Western nations. Each of these groups have offices in Baghdad and receive training, logistical assistance, and financial aid from the government of Iraq.

In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers. The rules for rewarding suicide/homicide bombers are strict and insist that only someone who blows himself up with a belt of explosives gets the full payment. Payments were made on a strict scale, with different amounts for wounds, disablement, death as a "martyr" and $25,000 for a suicide bomber. Mahmoud Besharat, a representative on the West Bank who was handing out to families the money from Saddam, said, "You would have to ask President Saddam why he is being so generous. But he is a revolutionary and he wants this distinguished struggle, the intifada, to continue."

Former Iraqi military officers have described a highly secret terrorist training facility in Iraq known as Salman Pak, where both Iraqis and non-Iraqi Arabs received training on hijacking planes and trains, planting explosives in cities, sabotage, and assassinations.

As for delivering WMDs to the USA, that's where the terrorists come in. If Saddam gives them some, they will find a way to get them into the country. I know this probably won't change your mind, because you are too much of a liberal lemming and don't want to face the facts, but this is how it is. Go check the facts, don't just blindly follow the mass market media.

Answer 5

There is no way to defend the abominable actions of the US Administration. They are incompetent and every US General worthy of the position has said so. How can those high level military men stand by Bush at the podium and say things are going well. You can even see the horror in their eyes, knowing that their men are falling unnecessarily. This is not war in the manner of a US democracy. This is a full on travesty that only foolhardy Republicans will support for the sake of their own wealth. How awful.

Be sad and be ready to vote them out.

Answer 6

Unfortunately most fell for the cover story. Even today Cheney goes round saying this same stuff. It has been a very effective distraction while Bush and his cronies are feeding at the national treasure and swimming in the Iraqi oil. It has been an age old tactic to whip up the public against the outside evil, fear, while something else is going on. Obviously it still works.

Answer 7

This war was based on those lies, the intelligence was juiced by none other then George Bush and it is not in no way defending the U.S. The war was started for the sole purpose of George Bush to enrich himself and his rich buddy's

Answer 8

Nicole already said it! Plain and simple.

Answer 9

bush and karl rove are still SPINNING THAT ONE.have you noticed the link to the war in iraq and the war on terror?how stupid do they think the american public is?

Answer 10

Just shut your face an' clear you mind and chant, "USA! USA! USA!!!!"
