I'm sorry, what was the reason we are in Iraq? Nothing you mentioned above has ANYTHING to do with Iraq.

To take a qoute from a hilarious movie...."erroneous, erroneous on both accounts" or in this case all accounts. So what your saying is we should be the savior of every country ever done wrong by Iraq... or for that matter done wrong by anyone. We're not the world police, and we shouldnt be trying to be. We're like the new generations Roman Empire. Trying to conquer the world in our own sense. And it's ridiculous. Ok, maybe an initial attack on afganistan for the attacks of 9/11. I'm not some super hippie tree hugging no war. War is neccassary sometimes, especially when our home country is threatened. But to carry on into Iraq, was a mistake. ANd mind you I'm a military member serving in Germany currently, and a republican at that. Iraq is turning into this generations Vietnam, gorilla warfare against deeply hidden insurgents.... yeah we find some every day or two but we keep losing troops for what? So that Iraq could set up a democracy, that half their people don't even want. Iraq is one of the worst decisions in the history of the US military efforts... bottom line

None of the things you have listed have a DAMN THING do do with Iraq They are acts of terrorist cells There is absolutely nothing that proves these terrorist cells originated in Iraq Oklahoma City was done from someone from the U.S. How in the hell is this tied to Iraq???In fact not a 1 of the things you listed can be traced back to Iraq At least get your facts Right. We are in Iraq because Bush put out rumors that Iraq had W.M.D.s which has prov-en to be untrue. There were NO terrorist organizations that were active in Iraq until after the U.S. invasion. THINK ABOUT THAT!

You forgot to add your date of Birth to the list.
You are thinking with your heart when linking the listed events with Iraq. Keep it this way because if you start thinking with your head, you may come up with some evil plans.
It is good that the Democrates don't see the link as you and others like you see it.

... is that why Bush said Iraq had nothing to do with terror when we first invaded?
those would be much more valid reasons to go after Osama... Palestine groups or even Iran, Saudis or Pakistan... than it would be to go into Iraq... since all of those nations have MUCH greater links than Iraq did to the vast majority of those attacks...
nice job of cut and paste there... read the 9-11 report please... and thanks for proving yet again that there are still some conservatives that don't really have a clue about terrorism, who is doing it and the sources of terrorism...

Why don't you wake up to the 21st century and get your head out of your butt. Your lacking oxygen and your brain is starving. You probably couldn't find your butt with both hands anyway.

Iraq was not involved in ONE thing on your list.....It is sad, that we have allowed a misguided paraniod right wing group of people to lead us to hell.

What's your point? I didn't see you mention one thing about Iraq. Our President isn't fighting terrorism, he's creating more hatred and more terrorists.

you should combine all the deaths in these attacks and compare them to the number of Iraqi citizens that have died in the last three and a half years because of U.S. attacks. i haven't done it myself, but I would bet that the second number is higher.
