Question

how many people still believe that 9-11 was connected to Saddam.
if yes please explain how.

please keep in mind that saddams' ba ath party is secular, which means they are none religous and do not practice the islamic jihad.
saddam arrested are tortured anybody that opposed his non-religous regime. so why would he harbor islamic jihadists?
with the US and Brittan all over Iraq since 91' why would any terrorist want to be there to do anything. would you train terrorists in a country that the entire us military constaly watchs and occasionally bombs. a place crawling with UN troops, no fly zones, and a non religous dictator who arrestes are tortures people?
if you think Iraq still had something to do with it please explain...

thanks i was just trying to smoke out the idiots

Answer 1

This is a bit harsh but stay with me.

If any of you believe that taking down Osama and his boys will end Islamic extremist's war on the free peoples of this world you are very naive. The war will be fought for hundreds of years Iraq is just a convenient starting point.

Consider the strategic geographic importance of Iraq in a land war against Islamic facists. Iraq shares a border with Turkey and it is a great beachhead for a mobilized assault throughout the middle east. One step at a time, control Iraq then control Syria through Iraq and a southern front from Isreal. We control Afganistan and have troops in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, there is the eastern and southern fronts. Syria is a more attractive beachhead for the military push because of its access to the mediterranean sea but it was at the time impossible to garner public support for an invasion of Syria as most Americans didn't even know where it is, but now we are mounting evidence to link Syria to terrorists and Hamas' badgering of Isreal will give them an easier excuse for the invasion of Lebanon with the eventual push into Syria. Palastine is nothing more than a refugee camp at this point, no obstacle for Isreali armor to roll through and there you have IRAN. Iran the leading supporter of Islamic Jihadists, the true thorn in the side of non-muslim countries around the world is the final and inevitable final battle in the war on Islamic Jihadists. Without the backing of the military might of Iran, these radicals would crawl into caves and hide. But Iraq, you need to begin by giving these people a taste of freedom from oppressive governments, Iraq, Iran, Afganistan same thing if not the same religious ties. Freedom and oppurtunity spread like wildfire and once these oppressed people get a taste of it suddenly this radical islam is not attractive to teenage kids with cellphones and ipods. Their recruiting base will dry up like Music Videos on MTV. Their money, that supports terrorist groups, will dry up as WE now control the only resource they offer to the world, OIL.

You people think that this one battle is our answer to the war, you're silly. Just as the Victory at Normandy was not the end of WWII just a starting point, so is Iraq. Why didn't we just attack Germany they were the enemy, right. Couldn't get there directly we had to start somewhere. Iraq is Omaha Beach that's it. By freeing France and liberating the Partisans we bolstered our support and troop size for that eventual push into Germany. There were no politics involved it was pure military startegy. No one was saying "Why attack France their not the enemy, Hitler is", no just occupied by the enemy with people who supported Hitler's war effort with funds and resources.

Our biggest problem is the American people can't see past their petty party disagreements long enough to see that our war against radical extremists involves the entire region not just a few individuals. You bring liberty to an oppressed people and that spreads just as the war machine moves forward. With freedom, the terrorists have less public support, the people no longer need somone else to blame for their horrible lives.

Saddam was just a stepping stone, a convient madman to oust to give us a foothold for the greater battles to come. But once again as happened in Vietnam the radicals and cowards in our own country have hamstrung our military. They preach peace at all costs while our enemies scream death to all infidels. You can't have peace if both sides don't want it, and if we let them lie, leave them alone like most of you advocate they will only grow stronger and our people more lazy and apathetic, until they will kill all of us infidels.

So you ask who believes 9-11 had anything to do with Saddam. Well directly nothing, but that was merely one battle fought in a much grander war. Saddam did have training camps in Iraq, why not he had total control of his people, as you say nothing went on without his knowledge, why wouldn't he allow those training camps, its a great way to strike out against the Great Satan without driectly getting his hands dirty and incurring the rath of the greatest military in the world. And we all know that his regime funded worldwide terrorism through the oil profits his stolen country enjoyed, again to indirectly fight the US.

Like it or not people these are hard truths in a world that doesn't look so pretty without your rose-colored glasses.

Answer 2

where people clearly get confused is when Bush started the war on terror DIRECTLY due to 9-11 and now says the main front of the war is in IRAQ...

why would you have a main front of a war in a place that had NOTHING to do with the HUGE reason the war began?

I don't know the answer to that question and it makes no sense to me? To me, we should focus on the terrorist leaders that hit us in 9-11 for the war on terror.

The simple facts are, EVERY country in the middle east has some connection to terrorism and terrorist organizations, you wouldn't have to look far to invade any country if that is your only motivation. But I would rather go after the terrorist leaders, which are not based in every country.

Answer 3

Bin laden came back to Saudi Arabia after Saddam took Kuwait. He offered to raise an army and kick Saddam out of Kuwait. The Saudis preferred to have the U.S.A. (and coalition) kick Saddam out of Kuwait, and this was when Bin Laden decided to make war on U.S.A. for having soldiers in the Middle East (Gulf Region).
The Saudis should have had Bin Laden kick Saddam out of Kuwait, clean their own house, and America do what the founding fathers intended : do not be involved in the entangling alliances, and affecting world events unless it involves national security (were it not for oil - the gulf is just another region - and a big red flag saying : "Don't Go There!") Now, however, it seems like it is too late to go back. America will never develop alternate energy in time to alleviate mind-blowing crises (wars and rumors of wars).

Answer 4

Dick Cheney is the only person who still believes there is a link between Saddam Hussein & the 9/11 attacks (remember his comments where he flat-out said that they were linked?)

Hopefully everybody knows that (whether or not you agree with the war in Iraq) Saddam didn't have anything to do with 9/11.

Answer 5

It would create a couple of jobs. however a few individuals consider that its concentrating on the remarkable wealthy so far as growing tax's. Most of those remarkable wealthy do not pay any tax's in view that they conceal there cash in different international locations and so forth, just like the kenedy's did. If something simply lengthen tax cuts to trade house owners, they're those that create jobs and the politicians feel that every one trade house owners are wealthy. They see that they made four hundred grand in a single yr however they do not take a few elements into consideration. I feel its a well perfect to reduce tax's slightly bit for all magnificence's in view that we're broke ample as it's. The wealthy are categorized as approximately 250,000 in line with loved ones. Most individuals in America feel of themselves as core magnificence, over ninety five%, so if that have been actual then core magnificence individuals might be approximately 25,000-a hundred twenty five,000 a yr; whats humorous is the poverty line is approximately 24,000 a yr. There is penalties to elevating/decreasing tax's. Also hold in brain this would possibly not impact alot of politicians who desire to rasie the tax's at the wealthy in view that they understand how to cover there cash! : )

Answer 6

..Iraq has absolutely nothing to do with Saddam. And Bush and Congress never said it did. This is the problem with America; people try to make statements without knowing the facts, or even the basic idea of what theyre talking about. Saddam and Iraq was a totally different issue than 9/11. I would hope most Americans know that.

Answer 7

yea, you are probably right. but lebanon isnt friends with Iran either and Hezbollah is trying to take them over, backed by Iran. Saddam was a problem and needed to be taken care of. He was ripe and not backed by superior power. we allow Iran to get in first by backing the sunnis. and the saudis continue to back the palistinians we would loose all connections to the middle east. our economy would be destroyed and our military would be stalled. No other country would be willing to take on any radicallists being that they havent since the 1800 so their goal of world domination, the Caliph and sheriah law would be imposed harder and harder. It was a necessity to have control or have someone that will support us or we would be bled dry.

Answer 8

There was no connection. Nor was Iraq an imminent threat to the U.S. Why were our leaders not more concerned with the actual war on terror or on countries like Iran that do pose a threat to the U.S.???

Answer 9

911 and Iraq are not related.

Only morons and imbeciles and perhaps zealot semities believe in Bush and Rumsfield.

19 of the 911 terrorists came form Saudi Arabia, but is anything ever said or done about it?

Answer 10

not directly. nor is it tied directly to the Islamic charities that send money to ha mas, AL quad, Islamic jihad, the PLO, the IRA, in sync,the spice girls, you know the rest. so why are we trying to stop them also.
