Why does Bush think that bin Laden ordering attacks outside of Iraq, justifies the war in Iraq?

Question

Please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Bush attack Iraq, before bin Laden ordered those attacks outside Iraq, not after?

Is this just another Bushism?

GRIPS: I like you too, but Bush failed to prevent the Sep 11 attacks, the Anthrax attacks, failed to get bin Laden, failed to get the Anthrax terrorists. It is a nuance that his is trying to justify wagging the dog in Iraq when when he should be after the terrorists? I think not.

TINA: If the purpose of the war in Iraq was to bring al Queda out of the shadows, don't you think that Bush should have said that before attacking Iraq, instead of saying, "There is no evidence that Saddam Hussein Iraq is associated with al Queda or the Sep 11 attacks".

Answer 1

you know what I really like, you September 10th Americans(that's people who don't think the War on Terrorism is justified by what happened on September 11th) who continue to look for every little nuance in what Bush says and nit-pick at it.

Answer 2

The occupation of Iraq is designed to bring Al Qaeda out of the shadows. As for the Iraqis, they are unlucky enough to be living in the battleground. That's one interpretation among hundreds, of course.

Answer 3

We would all be better off if BUSH had DIED in his sleep of natural causes Ten (10*) years ago...
