Iraq did not do 9-11 so why attack Iraq?

Answer 1

Republicans will just say "Dems voted to invade iraq also and they had the same information Republicans had" (this is the classic response...you will never get a straight answer because there is no answer)

Oh yeah...and the guy who responded below, who said Iraq was training terrorists, I mean...This is just another example of the caliber of intelligence we are dealing with here (Saddam and Osama hated one another and were definitely not working together on anything, this is a fact of documented reality)

And to FROG who responded below, who said "Suddam had a hand in the terrorist plot some how weather it be planning it or just contributing money" you are just LYING (and you need to learn how to spell). Please name your sources, where are you getting your information? My guess is your sources come from the magical land of your conservative republican imagination. Additionally, they only found poison gas (like they used in WW1), which is not a WMD...Poison gas is something every country has and it is not atypical. Finally the only thing you said that was true is that Saddam was a bad guy for his country...but look at the country now (have we done any better?), and just because a country has a bad leader does that justify us attacking them at random? I don't think so and I think none of the replies have any legs to stand on and that is why republicans avoid answering the question.

To Spag: Sorry dude...nobody disputes this (except maybe wierd people like you). EVEN BUSH and the CIA does not agree with you. Do we also need to prove to you that the sky is blue? What about gravity? Sorry, I won't waste my time...

Answer 2

Bush was planning on attacking Iraq before 9/11 happened. He just used the tragedy to manipulate the public into supporting him. He is a terrible president, but an awesome manipulator. Now that people have had a little time to sit back and really think about the situation, more and more are realizing how wrong it was (aside from those people who think that patriotism means not questioning the government).

Part of being a citizen in a democracy is questioning your government. All freedoms are given with equal responsibility.

Answer 3

If you go back to when Bush ran for the Presidency it had always been a mager part of his paltform to deal with Iraq once and for all. 9-11 notwithstanding Iraq was always in his gunsites. He wrongly assumed Iraq was the source of instability in the middle-east. It was Iran and Syria all along.

Answer 4

Iraq may not as a country done or caused 9-11 but suddam was a terrible dictator and murder and needed to be dealt with, as much as the liberals and democrats don't wanna believe it. Suddam had a hand in the terrorist plot some how weather it be planning it or just contributing money, he did nothing but harm for his country and would like nothing more than America to fall. And he did have W.M.D's it was is said in many diff reports from country's other than the U.S.A. even France.

Answer 5

Prove to me that they didn't do 9-11!!! I'm waiting for this one!!!!

You have absolutely NO EVIDENCE to support your claim that Iraq did NOT do 9-11.

Answer 6

We attacked Iraq because they trained terrorists and support
terrorism.

Hows that for a conservative viewpoint.

Not one mention of Democrats.

Answer 7

Okay, it was a knee jerk reaction, can you imagine if a WMD was detonated in the US, i can't even imagine our knee jerk reaction in the middle east....glazened parking lot comes to mind....

Answer 8

because many contractors had ( and still have ) interests n going there( to get contracts) , oil had a lot to do with, and becuse Mr , Bush thinks that US can go anywhere and "build a Democracy" , when perhaps he doesnt even know what democracy is .

Answer 9

Because they had weapons of mass destruction.

Answer 10

cause the other countries around can obtain or already have nukes.
