Are There Still People Around That Believe Iraq Had Something To Do With 9/11?

Question

Even though the 9/11 commission proved Dubya wrong?

Are there still people that really believe that Iraq had WMDs?

Timo, I think you might be misunderstanding my question. Hindsight has nothing to do with it. I know what people believed way back then, I want to know what they believe now. Thanks for going through the trouble of answering though.

P l Grey, I don't quite understand. Do you think Iraq under Saddam harbored Al Queda terrorist?
huh, kool-aid????

Answer 1

Yes, they're called idiots and most of them are the 28% that still appoves of dubyah.

Answer 2

Iraq did not have anything directly to do with 9/11; however, they did have WMD. It was a proven fact by Israeli intelligence and a general in the Iraqi army that WMD were moved prior to the invasion of Iraq into Syria. The Israelis even told Washington where they were hidden. Unfortunately, Iraq turned into a shambles for the USA.

Answer 3

Funny, I do not recall that anyone said that Iraq had anything directly to do with 9/11. I have been searching the net since I first read your statement and haven't found it yet. I will keep looking however.

As for WMD's, I have heard too many stories like BrewMan's to agree that there were none. And certainly there were some, because the West provided some to them. They also made many more on their own - witnessed by the massive casualties from the war with Iran and the genocide of the Kurds.

Answer 4

are you referring to directly...or indirectly?
Saddam Hussein probably had no direct influence in the attack on the towers... however... he was fostering the general intent
to attack the US in whatever manner he could. He was sturring
up the bomber types by offering money to their families as
tribute to their 'sacrafice'.
The war in Iraq was a war on 'terrorism'... not a war on the terrorists that attacked the US. While it was a miscalculation, the miscalculation was probably based on reasonable assumptions...
1... as the least 'muslum' country in the middle east that had grounds to attack... it stood to be a good example
2... Saddam had an army we knew we could defeat on the battlefield
3... we had promised to help the people in the area after the last gulf war... and many felt that would be a good symbolic gesture that would get local support
MIS-CALCULATIONS
1... the middle eastern mentality of... me against my brother....
my brother and I against my neighbor... my neighbor and I against an outsider.... they've been fighting each other... irrationally for centuries...
2... they might have been the most civilized culture almost 1000 years ago... but... they weren't all that civilized then... and haven't really gained much since... the 'powers that be' in that area of the world have gained control by using POWER... and they understand POWER... but... we in the US have shunned the idea of POWER running things... we think things should be run by REASON... even though frequently we don't use reason to run things...
3... we in the west just don't have the commitment...as a rule... to be willing to kill ourselves just to make a point... we see it as foolish... in that area of the world... life has little meaning... and they don't mind killing themselves... so why would they mind killing others?? Notice that even when something bad happens and a group of innocents accidently get killed... their families cry... (as any human would)... pick up... and go back to work... except for the few that set out on vendetta? They know its just a part of life... Even if one they don't like... We unfortunatly don't have the will to project our POWER because we are afraid it might hurt someone... even though that is the point of projecting power...
Sorry... I have digressed...but... the question is so pointless... and has so little consideration for the overall political landscape that I have lost all patience with our own 'so called' government for its own lack of consideration ... both the people carrying out the war... and the idiots condemming it... neither has a clue

Answer 5

Iraq did have biological weapons which are technically WMDs. They didn't have any nuclear weapons or anything that the public was lead to believe they had.

I never thought Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. When I saw that we bombed them on the news, I was really confused. I still don't know why we went to war over there.

Answer 6

I was in Iraq for 14 months clearing out the weapons bunkers and caches. I will tell you that WMD's were there. I found warhead detonators for ICBM's, SA-6 missile fields, SA-4 missile fields, acres and acres of napalm, etc... We only arrived too late to catch them moving the chemical stuff. I did find storage bunkers that were recently emptied. That must have been the reason that I was always carrying atropine and diazepam injectors at all times. So, I'm almost positive that Syria, Jordan, and/or Iran have them now.

I saw these things with my own eyes.

Plus, France and Russia were illegally selling munitions to Iraq for oil during the UN trade embargo. I found weapons dated 1999, 2000, and 2001 from both countries. Didn't you think it was odd how they protested more than any other countries? Weird. Jordan also had considerable weapons to be found in Saddam's bunkers.

So, they were there... but we arrived just a little too late to get them before they were transported.

Did Iraq have something to do with 9/11? No. However, the borders of Iraq have never been secure and Al Qaida have freely bounced back and forth out of Saddam's reach. He would have never stood for Al Qaida in his country. He was too power hungry to share and they would have been a threat. However, the border towns were more lawless. Smuggling would have been easy.

Answer 7

no, i can't say I've ever met anyone who thought Iraq was directly responsible for 9-11.

yes, i believe Saddam had WMD's. i think that what I've read about Saddam's sons sending mysterious transports to Syria before the invasion has something to do with why they haven't been found. also, Saddam's second in command of his military was in an interview 4 days ago with the new york post saying that he knew for a fact that there were indeed WMD'S and that they were indeed sent to Syria.

why you people think Saddam didn't have the foresight to send them somewhere else is beyond me.

Answer 8

Yes, they are called repuglicans, they post their nonsense views in here everyday, matter of fact you will get some answers from them and maybe even a hate e-mail or two because you dared to tell the truth.

Answer 9

So far I have yet to meet anyone who publicly suscribes to this belief. At least not any more. Cheney and Bush did imply this to be so, but since then, they've recanted. Only the less informed or more demented seem to think so today.

Answer 10

The President's approval rating is between twenty eight and thirty two percent, so I would say yes, not to mention all you have to do is read some of the questions and answers on here and the "experts" will argue we can win, whatever that means.
