Why does GWB say that terrorists would come to the USA if we leave Iraq?

Question

did he not think about this before invading it? as such, was the invasion worth the risk of americans to free Iraqis from a dictator?

If he did not foresee that terrorists would come to Iraq after the invasion then it was just another flip fop from his side for not looking at all possibilities. Afterall, we were with war with his bumper sticker "WAR ON TERROR". So he should have know better.

Answer 1

He bit off more than he could chew, thats for sure. Anyone remember the 'mission accomplished' banner?
I don't really feel any safer now, than I did before we went to Iraq. In fact, I feel like we made even MORE enemies along the way. How many people who didn't like us or hate us now want to hurt us because of our shoddy actions in Iraq? We planned poorly, we executed operations badly, we made the military leaders powerless to act as they saw fit, and we still haven't shored up the troops enough to actually do any lasting good.
I say it was foolish of us to go in the way we did and its been a clusterf*ck since day one, but now that we're there, we either go in with a LOT more troops and money and we stop trying to appease interested parties and stop pretending we are listening to the 'Iraqi government', or we get the hell out and let them sort out their own mess.

A nod to the previous mention to 'The Art of War', indeed we are doing everything in Iraq the exact opposite of the way of Sun-Tzu.

Answer 2

i do in comparison to Obama did no longer vote for him, yet trustworthy is trustworthy how the hell could everybody end those assaults? i like Bush the twin tower incident a spontaneous crude crime, how could everybody end those assaults? you spot if the traditional guy or woman is on a airplane than this could take place. The brave human beings stopped the airplane from hitting the White domicile. So we as human beings each each now and then fail. So are you able to truly say that's their fault? Why did no longer everybody be conscious the suspects drop returned packs and walk away? questioned. In each and all the thrill those thugs took advantage of a 2nd in time, while all have been happy and ignorant to the actuality of their incorrect doings.

Answer 3

Cowardly -

Any terrorist w / half a brain is already here. The poeple killing American soldiers in Iraq want us gone. The same way that if China came here, shoved a bogus contitution down our throats and then told us how to live - we'd be killing the occupiers too.

The mass murderers that killed Americans on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia (mostly). But hey, let's go into Iraq.

We're in Iraq (like Korea) and we're NEVER leaving. We have 'permanent' bases set up - and we've been told what's needed to stablize Iraq is the 'oil contracts'. GET IT!!! 30 yr oil contracts to five oil companies. GET IT!! It has zero, zip, nada, to do w/ terrorists.

Answer 4

yeah hind site is always 20 20 isn't it. why will they come here? I think they have all ready been here and are here now. Us taking out Saddam or not taking out Saddam didn't change the Islamo Fascists final goal one iota. they are patient they will strike us here the only question is when they will do it again and be successful. If a Hilary or an Obama get into the white house then it will be much sooner then later because they will cut our surveillance methods down to almost nothing. cheers!

Answer 5

That seems to be the current administration line. 9/11 only happened because of a lack of a civil war in Iraq.
Apparently many more conservatives believe the lack of a fence between the US and Mexico also contributed.
Go figure.

Answer 6

We don't know if they'd come or not but why risk it? They hate America and want us to leave so they can claim victory and slaughter millions of innocent people. Remember Cambodia?

Answer 7

They were here before Bush took office.

That's why their first attack on the Twin Towers happened when Bill Clinton was president.

Answer 8

I'm still wondering if the "camel flotilla" is still seaworthy so that they can get here.......

But, the truth is, we didn't go into Iraq to "save" them, nor to look for WMD (that was just the "excuse"--just ask Colin Powell)

Your most insightful sentence is the one in which you say "did he not think"--- because, of course, that is exactly so!

Answer 9

BECAUSE IT TRUE. this war is nothing new its been going on for quite some time now. They attacked us once, twice and if we leave iraq they will ATTACK again because they have done it before. They hate America because we're free. That is why they will keep attacking!

Answer 10

because he thinks that they can walk on water, but can't slap a dirty bomb on a boat and slam it into one of our poorly guarded ports.
