Why did George W. Bush go into Iraq?... why is he fighting terrorsits?

Answer 1

well umm... how idiotic can you get....

after the disaster of 9/11 we most go into Iraq to stop from the same incident happening again!

( I hope you now what 9/11 is)

Its people like you who criticize Bush for his negative actions, but its his actions that are (positive) that are making us safe from their negative reproduction world plan. Its also keeping us safe from a terrorist attack.

Without fighting terrorists we wou,ld have a 10 times bigger problem geopolitically today and mostly in the future... I hope you know that too

Try to RESEARCH before you ask

and... I opligize for any rudeness.

Thankyou

Because Americans were so scared by 9/11 terrorism and anthrax in the mail, that they thought the sky was falling. These events were intentionally amplified through media hype and propaganda, which tended to exacerbate the problem. Americans, lacking an antidote to anxiety provoking terror, both actively and passively endorsed excessive retaliation and vengeful retribution, ironically as if that would somehow bring peace. Bush essentially had a mandate, and people expected him to respond in a way that appeared powerful (that's why he was originally elected). He had to fight somebody, and his administration either couldn't catch Osama, or they didn't want to settle for that trophy, since the war would then be over. Bush couldn't go to war with Saudi Arabia since they are not "enemies" of the US, and the royal family is paying the Bushes and the government in various ways. Iraq made sense because, Hussein was an "enemy", and American voters gave the decision making power to people that stood to make a lot of money from the war. The republican majority in congress essentially wrote the president a blank check to go to wars, plural. Bush and his republican cronies actually like war (for a lot of reasons). The domestic nay sayers were easily thwarted politically by calling them 'soft on terror', the same platform that was effectively used by the Nazis. Need I say more? Politics is strange, it's not particularly logical. The pendulum had swung too far to one side, fortunately that imbalance was corrected in the midterm elections, so the situation is now slightly better; but before that could happen the situation had to get worse before it could get better. That "worse" part was the corruption scandals and the mess in Iraq.

Answer 3

Those are two *completely* unrelated questions.

The fight against terrorists is a valid response to 9/11. The war in Iraq is not.

There was, and is, no evidence that Saddam Hussein had anything to do with terrorists ... and in fact plenty of reasons why Saddam not only wanted nothing at all to do with terrorists, but that he was himself crushing islamic fundamentalists as a threat to his own dictatorship.

Think about it honestly. What did Saddam have to gain from supporting 9/11? Don't just say "hatred of Americans" ... that is true, but not enough ... what did it *gain* him? Saddam was a self-centered, power-hungry coward. His only goal in the world was to remain in power, and that mattered *far* more than hating Americans. If you look at it honestly from his point of view, it would have gained him NOTHING to attack the U.S. ... and risked losing EVERYTHING. (He lost everything anyway ... which really undermined the "don't mess with the U.S.A. message ... we have now announced to the world that if you leave America alone, we may come after you anyway.)

The most insidious fact (lie?) of Bush's presidency was in blurring the line between the two. His spokespeople say that Bush never *explicitely* connected Saddam with 9/11 ... but everytime he uttered the words "Saddam" and "war on terror" in the same breath, he was making that connection. Because "war on terror" is (understandably) a euphemism for "response to 9/11."

Americans felt (with good reason) enraged by 9/11. And Bush redirected that rage against another foe. Why ... because all the military muscle in the world is useless against somebody like Osama Bin Laden if you can't find him. So upon failing to capture Bin Laden, Bush used our rage to go after an old enemy that they *knew* had nothing to do with 9/11.

And that right there, is the betrayal for which George Bush will be remembered. Using 9/11 to further other goals.

The fact that you still ask these two questions together shows how effective Bush has been at connecting the two.

Answer 5

He went to Iraq to fix the black eye his daddy got back when he was in office and to manipulate oil prices. I'd like to know what Bush's finanical status was before he got into office and what it is now. 2 people in the White House with ties to oil, go figure.
Secondly, people defending their own country against foreign invasion (America), are not terrorists.

Answer 6

people who connect the army are often people from detrimental financial backgrounds. they often purely have a extreme college commencement. wealthy people do no longer connect the army so as subsequently the Bush daughters are actually not struggling with in Iraq. it may additionally could with the indisputable fact that they do no longer prefer to pass.

Answer 7

Why is this under Biology??? The main reason is to protect America. And if we weren't fighting terrorists, what else would those terrorists be diong? Plotting another 9/11.

Answer 8

Ummm Because George Jr is a freekin idiot..... I think I let my answer stand for both questions.

Answer 9

this is a good question to ask in the biology section. It won't be long till all the tree huggers are poswting nonsense about wars for oil and all of that other blinkeres, over-simplified nonsense.

Answer 10

he went to iraq to hang out wid osama bin laden
