Is anyone else amazed that people still are connecting what happened on 9/11 with Iraq?

Question

Even if there is ample PROOF that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11...

Answer 1

Amazing isn't it?
The lie about a connection between Al Qeada and Iraq was also the key to justifying the constitutional power grab by the President. And in the end, for this administration, its all about power. As long as their big, flamboyant lie remained an established fact in the public's mind, Bush was seen by the majority as justified in taking for himself the power to make war on his whim. He was seen as justified in suspending many civil liberties at his personal discretion. He could continue to distort the political reality experienced by the American people.

Answer 2

It is not the people who are making the connection, but the media and manipulation from government, which is making the connection still, and made it then.
From memory, Hussein didn't even support Al Qaeda, but via the news networks, and 'faux' news, we are brainwashed and led like the dumb animals most of us are into believing there is a valid, justifiable reason for taking out another countries leader, and remaining indefinitely in their country to spread democracy, peace(haha) & controlling oil prices.
The only link I can see between the two is that both events have made a lot of bankers and political affiliates/business associates of GWB a hell of a lot of money, and both events continue to do so.
9/11 outraged the public so much that the feeling was to bomb someone as 'revenge' for what occurred...only slight issue with this, is that the wounds were self-inflicted. This is why the Bush version of events keeps changing as to why we are in Iraq to begin with...OFFICIAL REASONS SHOULD NOT CHANGE FOR INVADING ANOTHER COUNTRY...THEY WILL ONLY CHANGE IF POLITICIANS THINK ANOTHER VERSION WILL SWAY SUPPORT FOR THEIR WAR...
The whole of America is now ran by greedy, self-serving ba5tards, who see a few thousand lost lives as merely a blip in the ocean...
If you do not understand mind control techniques over time, or how media controls you, or even why Bush and his chums are doing what they are doing...for god's sake...WAKE UP!
After 9/11, if Bush had of said Aliens from Mars were responsible, we'd be up there blowing the crap out of space...and most of you would think it was the right thing to do...emotions and psyche were reduced to a crumbling wreck after September 11, and pretty much anything could of been said by Bush, and it would have gone unchallenged...PLEASE THINK OF WHY EVENTS LIKE THIS HAPPEN...UNITE PEOPLE...THE GOVT HAVE US DIVIDED AT PRESENT, BUT NOT FOR LONG.

Answer 3

Yes, that would be amazing, if anyone was actually saying that. Just because there's a connection to the War on Terror and Iraq, that doesn't mean that they believe that there's a specific connection between Iraq and one specific event.

Did you know that the mastermind behind the hijacking of the Achille Lauro was found living openly in Iraq after the invasion? You can look that up, it's on the 'net. There's no question that Saddam was connected to terrorists, but no one is saying that he planned 9/11.

Answer 4

Time Magazine Special Edition September 11, 2001. The Case for Rage and Retribution, Lance Morrow.
"What's needed is a unified, unifying, Pearl Harbor sort of purple American fury-a ruthless indignation that doesn't leak away in a week or two. "

No matter the political spin on a war the intent to serve, protect and honor our nation is the task. In a day of reality faux TV we expect easy answers. You really think those shows know the level of security it takes to guard American's from her enemies? Did we prefer a popular President wrapped in bows and ribbons to a man who stated early on... "they will not like me as President."?

Keep re reading the documents from those days not the headlines today. I feel confident that as horrible as this is our brave soldier's serve us well. In peacetime Bill Clinton lost over 4,000 troops. We did not keep count then. Where were
the CIA/FBI that fateful day? How did foreigners know which planes had the most fuel and least PAX? They re- defined their stragedies after Swissair111. Those pilots took down the plane out of Boston into the Atlantic. And the reports are sealed by Presidential order, fire on board they say when the cockpit called out a hijack in 1998.

These stories are not new. Just depends on your level of research. As a former On Board Flight Attendant Instructor based in Hawaii I can tell you. From crew members to FBI I have spoken to this stuff is a oh sh*oot . IT was in 1998 as it is now. For one I am grateful I live in a land I know I am free and wish I could enlist today.

PROOF? Thank you for your valuable time. Aloha.

Answer 5

Remember, the situation in Iraq was supposedly justified using several 'reasons'. First because the Bush administration felt that 9/11 and Al-Qaeda were somehow linked to Iraq, then it changed to a 'weapons of mass destruction' myth (even though the CIA warned Bush that there was no credible evidence suggesting it), and then it changed yet again to removing Saddam the tyrant! Why now? After Saddam had been in power for so many years, why did the US feel that now was the time to take Saddam out? Did it have any link to what was happening to oil prices at the time?

Answer 6

Whats even more amazing is that ol Mitty Romney is
saying 9-11 is connected to Iraq!

In Debate, Romney Repeats Descredited Claim
That Saddam Was Behind 9/11

Is it possible that Mitt Romney is even dumber than George Bush? At yesterday’s GOP debate in Iowa, he tossed out the old Saddam equals al Qaeda canard that even Bush has been forced to repudiate:

“Just come home,” dissented Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the lone advocate of a quick troop withdrawal on a presidential campaign debate stage. He said there had never been a good reason to go to war in the first place.

“Has he forgotten about 9/11?” interjected former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Last year, during his address to the nation on the fifth anniversary of the 2001 attacks, Bush grudgingly admitted that the connection he and his administration’s top official made between Saddam and the attacks was a lie:

Answer 7

People believe what they want to believe. There are some people (about 20%) who thing George W. Bush is a good president, that he has saved the world from those mean old nasty Muslims. Why? Who knows? There are also people who believe that 9/11 was an inside job. Why? Who knows?

Answer 8

Yes, it's amazing, and disturbing. It's funny, the Bushies are the ones most likely to still claim a connection, but Bush himself admitted there was NO connection at all. I guess some people have to cling to that notion so they don't feel like they were "Bush"whacked for supporting the war from the beginning. Who knows, people that still claim this only seem to have one oar in the water.

EDIT: It reminds me of the day that Cheney was on Meet the Press still claiming a connection, while at the same time a formal release came out of the White House denying a connection. It was like "What?" I remember laughing like crazy at that particular disconnection.

Answer 9

How can you not understand that Iraq isn't all about 9/11?! It is part of the ongoing process of eliminating terrorists. And who are you to judge what others think?! Are they not free to have their own views even if they don't match yours?

Answer 10

I am not surprised at all. It seems the American public as a whole is ignorant and apathetic when it comes to the history of the Iraq war.

He is a reminder....We went to Iraq to "prove" Saddam was producing WMD's in violation of UN resolutions. Information on these WMD's was provided by Ahmed Chalabi, a paid CIA informant whom the US later installed as President of Iraq. No terrorist groups were in Iraq at that time, in fact Saddam hated al Quaeda.
