Do you think that 9/11 occurred so we could go to Iraq?

Question

Did we kill allow all those americans to die so we could go to iraq?

Answer 1

No, Bush did not need 9/11 to go to war in Iraq. Saddam had violated the peace agreements from the first Persian Gulf war. If Bush wanted to attack Iraq he had every reason to do so without having 9/11.

Answer 2

Watch the film 'Farenheit 9-11', observe the generations' old family friendships between the Bushes and the Bin-Ladens, and draw your own conclusions.

I grew up in Lower Manhattan. I took that terrorist attack -- whoever was behind it -- very personally.

Here in the UK, we see news you never hear about. I'm not positive it IS a crackpot conspiracy theory. Too many fishy things...

Incidentally, you all DO remember that George Bush the Elder was Director of the CIA before he became Ronald Reagan's Veep, right? And you all DO remember that amazing co-incidence, where a LOT of hostages were held for months, in Tehran, Iran, at the US Embassy, at the end of the Carter Administration, and released when Reagan was sworn in, in January, 1981, right? So you know, of course, that Ayatollah Khomeini was the 'boogie-man' of the 1980s. Iran had been a US ally, until then. So, when Iran flipped, the CIA hastily found, and installed a 'friendly' dictator in neighbouring Iraq... you're obviously aware of this. It was on the news. This cool General Saddam Hussein was going to make Baghdad the United States' friend, since Tehran could no longer be trusted? Rings bells, doesn't it? The CIA, as Directed by George Bush, installed Saddam Hussein. It's very well documented fact. Everybody knows that!

So surely, you also remember, toward the end of the second Reagan Administration, when those durn Soviets took it into their heads to invade Afghanistan? Yeah... pesky Soviets. Had to stop them, obviously, so the CIA openly, like on the news, trained and armed these Afghanis, in Pakistan. They were called the 'Mujaheddin', and their praises sung for their incredible cleverness at defending Afghanistan from a hostile foreign power. They were the Warrior arm of a little-known and pretty unimportant little government, called the Taliban. Remember? And so, since Bush was so tight with the Bin-Ladens and all, and they're gazillionaires, he pulled in a favour and got one of them, an ethnic Saudi (not related by ethnicity, culture, or language to Afghanis) to help out with the money end. That way, well, the USA wasn't, like, OFFICIALLY paying the Mujaheddin to fight the Soviets. The Cold War wasn't really OVER, yet. It would have been kinda awkward, if the Soviets had seen direct funding of the Afghanis. Like, Brezhniev might have thought it was 'Imperialist' or one of those words Communists used, back in the day...

Heard an interview with Walter Cronkite a few years ago, where he just went through the whole history, and it was exactly as I remembered it! Funny about that...

It's good to keep up with the news, dontcha think? That way, you remember these little things...

Conspiracy? I dunno. They were just members of the same Ultramegarichguys' Clubs.

Answer 3

Dont be a dumbass and listen to those conspiracy theorists.

Here's a what-if for you.

Liberal thoeories not withstanding, what if on Sep 9th, President Bush came out on National News and stated that a plot to hijak 4 or more planes and fly them into the world trade center, pentagon and white house was discovered.

They decided to shut down all flights and arrested all of the terrorists, but being terrorists, they had destroyed 90% of any evidence.

What do you think people would have said?

I'll tell you what I think. I think the left and most of the rest of the country would think it was complete BS.

Hind sight is a wonderful thing isnt it...

And lets not forget, that plot was thought up and perfected under Clinton, before Homeland security, before 3000 people died in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in a lonely field in Pennsylvania and we STILL dont believe they did it.

P.S. Jeremiah....please get some help.

"They question everything, and believe nothing but what is proven to their own satisfaction, until they have refigured the world. In this way, truth lies. Unfortunately, so does madness."

Answer 5

Bush wanted to go after Iraq even before anybody knew about the 9/11 tragedy. but Bush made sure that this horrible event didn't postpone his plans so that is why he went ahead anyway.

Answer 6

9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq or our decision to go in there. 9/11 resulted in our going into Afghanistan.

Answer 7

People (mainly Republicans) say that FDR arranged the attacks on Pearl Harbor so we could get into WWII, but I don't think he did.

However, I do believe that Bush arranged the attacks on the WWT's so we could get into Iraq.



I mean, it's awfully fishy. Think about it, before he even became President, he was saying how much he wanted to be a war President. Now to mention that his Dad went into Iraq the first go around.



To me, it looks like a, "I'm going to finish what my Dad couldn't" type of thing.

Answer 8

It is a good possibility, although there is no way in hell we will ever know for certain. I am suspicious, but there is no proof it was a false flag operation. Supposedly, the Pentagon and the President were creating plans to invade Iraq as early as the early '90s. Remember, this is before there was even talk of WMDs.

And some of the media is funded by ultra-rich oil magnets, so they could easily manipulate the public to believe 9/11 was a terrorist attack just so they could get millions from the oil pipelines in the Middle East.

Answer 9

No, but I think the attack was used as an excuse to go into Iraq.

Answer 10

No, good god, no.

Iraq was going to happen no matter what. 9/11 and Afghanistan, if anything, upset the timetable.
