Why did Saddam and Iraq attack us on 9/11?

Question

Good thing we got revenge on Saddam by hanging him and accomplished the mission!!!

If Saddam didn't do it, why did we murder him and destroy Iraq?

Answer 1

LOL , I know you are just being snarky, but in case anyone believes that you are serious, please feel free to review the 9/11 commission report in which, after much thorough investigation we came to the conclusion that:

"to date we have seen no evidence that these or the ear-
lier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship. Nor have we seen evidence indicating that Iraq cooperated with al Qaeda in developing or carrying out any attacks against the United States."

Edit: and Joe you are 100% wrong about Saddam's Iraq being a breeding ground for terrorists. Prior to our invasion there was no Al'Qeada in Iraq, it was only AFTER we invaded that they began to show up and recruit in earnest. (please refer to the 9/11 commission report for your answers here)

Regarding the death of Zarqawi last year she wrote:

"A new day for Iraqis" is the current theme of the Iraqi puppet government and the Americans. Like it was "A New Day for Iraqis" on April 9, 2003 . And it was "A New Day for Iraqis" when they killed Oday and Qusay. Another "New Day for Iraqis" when they caught Saddam. More "New Day" when they drafted the constitution… I'm beginning to think it's like one of those questions they give you on IQ tests: If 'New' is equal to 'More' and 'Day' is equal to 'Suffering', what does "New Day for Iraqis" mean?

How do I feel? To hell with Zarqawi (or Zayrkawi as Bush calls him). He was an American creation- he came along with them- they don't need him anymore, apparently. His influence was greatly exaggerated but he was the justification for every single family they killed through military strikes and troops. It was WMD at first, then it was Saddam, then it was Zarqawi. Who will it be now? Who will be the new excuse for killing and detaining Iraqis? Or is it that an excuse is no longer needed- they have freedom to do what they want. The slaughter in Haditha months ago proved that. "They don't need him anymore," our elderly neighbor waved the news away like he was shooing flies, "They have fifty Zarqawis in government."

Answer 2

1. There is NO direct connection with saddam and 9/11.
We didn't go to Iraq because of 9/11 but it was part of the bigger war on Muslim terrorism.

2. The mission was accomplished the mission was to remove saddam from power.

This it the thing about liberals they are all in favor of taking quotes and text out of context but they don't want to be reminded that their fellow liberals agree that saddam had WMDs or that Clinton fired missles into Iraq for that purpose.

It was all about Bush lie.

Answer 3

Well, as you know, Saddam didn't attack the US on 9/11. The "justice" thing sort of turned into an attack on Saddam Hussein and I think it just snowballed into the war in Iraq. Maybe the US decided to target Saddam because the military found evidence that he was funding terrorists, but I can't be for sure. I'm sure he wasn't the only one funding terrorist organizations.

Answer 4

Neither Saddam nor Iraq attacked us on 9/11.

Answer 5

Iraq hung Saddam, not the US. Saddam and Iraq were breeding grounds for the terrorists that attacked us on 9/11, now they aren't.

Answer 6

Saddam and Iraq did not attack us. The hijackers were all Saudi Arabians, we could not retaliate against Saudi Arabia because King Abdullah is one of the Bush family's closest friends and oil business associates(yahoo last summer's picture of Bush and the King walking holding hands at Crawford ranch). Saddam was an evil dictator much like the King of Saudi Arabia who kept his thumb on the Shiites, but America freed them so they could continue their hate campaign against us and try to rid the world of Christians and Jews. The hanging of Saddam was a gesture of our friendship to the people of Islam who hate our guts. and still want to rip the intestines from our infidel bodies. Every muslim country in the mideast is a dictatorship without democracy, so no one really understands why Rice,Bush, and Cheney think Iraq can be made into a democracy with a Disneyworld, WalMarts,White House, etc.

Answer 7

You must be living in a vacuum. It has been documented a gazillion times by dozens of government and independent studies that NEITHER SADDAM HUSSEIN NOR IRAQ HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH 9-11. Wake up and smell the truth.

Answer 8

Ah, the continued Leftist meme.

Will you idiots finally get it through your thick skulls into you delusional brains that the invasion of Iraq was not about 9/11, that nobody in the Bush administration or in the GOP has ever said they were involved or behind 9/11, that we've never believed Saddam had anything to do with 9/11?

Put this stupid strawman to bed and grow up.

The reasons for the invasion of Iraq were numerous: for violating the ceasefire agreements and UN resolutions, for failing to have complied with the requirements to prove destruction of all WMDs and delivery systems and the dismantling of WMD labs, for his crimes against humanity in his murderous rule of Iraq, for his continued and increasing support of international terrorism, for his assassination attempt on Geo. HW Bush (this was an act of war, BTW), etc. NOT 9/11.

You leftists are either obtuse or dissembling.

Answer 9

Saddam & Iraq responsible for 9/11. Hey that's a new one since all these days I always thought it was Al Quaida led by u know who.

Answer 10

Saddam was just the biggest threat to freedom out there at the time. He may not have pulled the trigger, but he supplied the training camps and equipment needed to make it possible.

It wasn't about 'revenge'. It was about making sure they couldn't do it to us again. And THAT job still needs doing.
