Because during the first Gulf War, Saddam Hussein put out a contract on George H. W. Bush. And George W. Bush, since his decision to run for President, has been trying to craft a plan to get back at him for it.
9/11 provided a really easy excuse. All he had to do was call the insurgents "terrorists" and that was enough. He played on the emotions of the American people.
Bush is manipulative, but not particularly smart. He should have known his manipulations wouldn't hold up and that eventually people would start asking questions, like, "What does 9/11 have to do with the war in Iraq?" He "misunderestimated" the American people.
So no, he wasn't behind it, but he did exploit the hell out of it.

For thousandth time, we went to Iraq to get Saddam out (job well done) your own Bill Clinton said there were WMDs in Iraq as well as many other sources and they were found. Not as much as they thought because the UN gave Saddam 6 months to relocate those WMDs before we went.
Can't you put two and two together and stop reading those stupid conspiracy sites? They make people sound really dumb. Another word for conspiracy is lie.

You should ask President Bush, and all those involved in the war there. I believe they moved what was there, before the war, they did have time. BUT<<
I will always believe it should have been Saudi Arabia we went to in war, if indeed those hijackers were mostly saudis.
Poor Iraqis, innocent of it all. WE have a WEIRD THINKING GOVERNMENT !!
Or they are guilty of 9/11 themselves, and it sure looks that way cuz they aint dont nothing but kiss saudi a** instead of putting the blame where the government claims it was !!!!!!!! I think they simply lied and I will never understand why. Because if there REALLY were 17 saudi hijackers, saudi arabia shouldnt exist by such grand amount to date !!! Therefore, I believe there were NO hijackers.

Here's Hillary Clinton's answer:
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001.
It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security"

Where did the WMD's go is the more appropriate question. Everybody knows that Saddam had them. HE USED THEM! WE SOLD THEM TO HIM!!! I will agree, though that since we've invaded Iraq, we now have NO idea where they are.

Noone knows. Officially its a war against terror. I think it all started with Bush jr daddy that Saddam tried to kill when he was in Kuweit ever since then Bush jr done anything to seek revenge. Now when Saddam is dead maybe its time to declare mission accomplished and pull out ? But it will not happend that easy.
