Seeking to rally support for the war,President Bush released intelligence asserting that Osama?

Question

"Seeking to rally support for the war, President Bush released intelligence asserting that Osama bin Laden in 2005 ordered creation of a terrorist unit to hit targets outside Iraq, including the United States." .... What exactly does THA have to do with the war in Iraq?????? .... Osama, a Saudi born, hidding in the mountains of Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iran ... yet this is connected somehow to Iraq???? .... hey have you heard about the gas prices? Man! those meat balls almost choked me.
SAME effect, one has NOTHING to do with the other, why is the American public still being taken for fools by this administration. Mr Bush ... please fight Osama, find Osama, kill Osama you have our support, our funds and our devotion but for pete sake leave Iraq alone and stop trying to sell your crappy war when it had and still has nothing to do with the REAL problem: OSAMA.

Thank you for your answers. Here are a couple of points. For the lady talking about gas and how its a liberal problem etc. There is NO way a company making 40 billion PROFIT should have problems with maintenance. These corporations have a load of "valid" excuses that nobody has the balls to contradict because well they SEEM legitimate. Truth is the barrel was at $65.00 - 6 month ago and we paid an average of $2.80 at the pump ... today the barrel is at ... $65.00 and we pay $3.40? well that is logic isn't it? also we should NO be responsible for the Co not taking care of their maintenance program nor should we be responsible for fires in refineries ... they have insurances covereing EVERY single penny they lose because of that ... why should WE be penalized?
As far as the invasion of Iraq and how we protected the region from being run by islamist ... Saddam WAS the only man standing up to the islamist, The ywere a threat to HIM and we killed him. against Iran and Osama he was our ally

Saddam lead a 15% minority and held a huge country with a 75% population backed by Iran trying to oust him and take over. Whaat did we do? we removed him from power and blamed him for being a tyrant ... we opened the doors wide open for Iran backed Shiites to take over and gain the region politically. nobody seems to realize that fact ... Saddam WAS our ally against Iran and all the sudden he became our worst enemy? Hard to belive or understand.

Answer 1

Have you also read that al qaeda is in Iraq? Osama will be found, eventually.

The thing is, we cannot just walk away from Iraq.

Answer 2

Osama isn't the only terrorist.

Capturing or killing Bin Laden would be great, but someone would just take his place.

This is a fight agaisnt terrorism as a whole, not Bin Laden the individual, or against one terrorist group.

People need to realize that the war will not be over if Bin Laden is killed.

Guess what? Islamic Terrorists primarily come from every middle eastern country, not just Afganistan or Iran. These countries all do very little to stop terrorism. They may say they do and say the right things, but do they mean it? Probably not.

The terrorists have been at war with the west since the 1970's. It took 9/11/01 for the US to wake up and decide to take some action. This isn't a war about military might, where one side will surrender. Its a war about changing perceptions and spreading democracy. If that means trying to spread democracy in a place like Iraq, then I am all for it

Answer 3

Here is economics 101 the President has nothing to do with oil prices.. see there are these things are refineries and people called refiners and they set the price to sell to the gas station who, in turn determines what price to sell the gas at to make a profit.

Maybe if the libs would let us drill in Anwar and off the coast of Florida gas prices would go down dramatically but they can't because then they'd have nothing to b i t c h about.... because if gas prices are low and gas is affordable and plentiful then they can't blame everything on big businesses.

And if we suppposedly went to war for oil like the libs say we did why have we not reaped any of the supposed benefits?? Maybe because we didn't! Maybe because of a threat against the country called Militant Islam and Al Qaeda. Maybe because like Clinton has said during his 8 years that Saddam had WMDs and he posed a threat.

Also Bush has been pushing for alternative fuels since 2001 BEFORE 9/11.

Wait a minute! I forgot I should think like libs and follow their political handbook:
1. Blame Bush
2. Blame Republicans
3. Say NO to anything that is offered from the other side
4. Complain offering no solutions
5. Repeat

Answer 4

To most Americans, there is no difference between Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Pakistan.

Bush could have 'sold' an invasion of Jordan.

Most Americans just wanted somebody to pay. And if the president says that Iraq is the problem, enough people will agree.

Answer 5

To answer your real question:"Why are we militarily in Iraq?"
The answer is:
If we were not there, Islamic fundamentalists, who hate all Europeans and Americans, would take over the whole middle east AND the oil that is there. These fanatics aren't driven by profit motive they are there for the power that oil would give to them.

Simply put: Islamic facists would control the world economy and the utopia that is called America would become a hell hole that is rife with lawlessness and utter chaos. We'd be going through another Dark Ages akin to the Dark Ages when same culture ran over Europe.

Answer 6

i think of it extremely is intense time that elementary electorate victimized through the government's unlawful wiretapping *might desire to* sue for fake character defamation and breach of privateness consistent with unlawful wiretapping practices. What state "secrets and techniques" is the government attempting to hold onto? those documents-mining operations the CIA did over the years that have been given extra advantageous than what the government needed: Alleged connections to terrorist communities like Al-Qaeda? i'm helpful that having your very own assistance (on record) won't area human beings such as you. whether it truthfully bugs the hell out of me--understanding that the government might desire to chose to blackmail me at any 2d--based on the illicit assistance they stole in the process the Bush years--all in the call of 'national secure practices'.

Answer 7

The thing is, by releasing this intel, he has weakened his position, not strengthened it. The intel states that Osama was planning to hit NON-IRAQ targets. Where is our war? Iraq. It makes the President look like a fool - why would he release this information????

We've taken resources away from the hunt for Osama and given them to the war in Iraq - that is DOCUMENTED and was announced after al-Zarqawi was killed.

What kind of moron have we elected President????

Answer 8

If anything, the article says that Iraq had NOTHING to do with bin Laden, but that bin Laden operated OUTSIDE that country.

Answer 9

Bush forgot about Osama the minute he found out that Osama's check to Bush's Election Campaign in the amount of $250,000.00 cleared the bank!

Failing to capture Osama like he Vowed to do was just one in a very long list of failures for this POS!

Answer 10

Didn't fox news report that he died before 05?? It's a resurrection I do declare.
