How is 9/11 linked to Iraq?

Question

Is 9/11 linked to the invasion of Iraq? If then how?
Thanks

Answer 1

it's not. the idea the Bush administration tries to sell us is that a stable democracy in the region will somehow make terrorism less of a threat. it's totally bogus. Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, but he had no tolerance for al Qaeda or terrorists.

Answer 2

There is no link and the only al qaeda in iraq before the invasion were in the norhtern no-fly zone that the U.S. controlled and the kurds occupied. The Al-qaeda in iraq now are iraqi's who have aligned themselves with the alqaeda that attacked us on 9/11 because osama and alqaeda are fighting against the us and their push to seize control of the middle east one nation at a time.

I definitely don't support the terrorists or their cause and think we should be in pakistan finding the people who attackedd us on 9/11 and not in iraq. The whole world supported our efforts to track down the terrorists who attacked us and Bush abused the situation and used it to attack and occupy iraq. Do you know many permanent military bases we are building there? do you know where the larges embassy on the planet will be located once it is completed? Bush is planning on owning iraq until jesus comes to take him away.

Answer 3

No link

Answer 4

It's not, Afghanistan were supposedly responsible for 9/11, yet we are at war with Iraq. Doesn't make sense, does it? I guess they thought since those two countries are relatively near eachother they could claim there were weapons of mass destruction so they could invade Iraq. Thought they'd confuse people and make it look like it has something to do with 9/11.

Answer 5

Most of the hijackers were Saudis, and the leader of Al Qaeda was a Saudi, I suppose we should have invaded Saudi Arabia, as there was a clear link?

But, no, there was no direct link between Iraq and 9/11. Iraq had been sponsoring terrorists, but not the same terrorists who planned and executed teh 9/11 attacks, but the justifications were more along the lines of suspected WMDs, UN resolutions that hadn't been followed (when have they ever been followed? we could attack /ourselves/ on that pretext!), etc...

Answer 6

because of the fact a lot of human beings associate Al Queda with 911 wisely, however the controversy over the justification for war has become so polluted that a lot of human beings can now no longer distiguish the hassle-unfastened info. because many persons are no longer overly politically minded they often settle for what they hear as actuality. as quickly as a delusion is started in our subculture that's extremely stressful to dispel. ultimately, polling information might properly be skewed in any path by using the form you ask the question, and as a accepted rule that's now no longer to be depended on from the two edge of the political spectrum. NoSunHere: Your assertion greater effective describes Dan Quayle than George Bush. Quayle spelled Potato "Potatoe" which made him the butt of many jokes for a protracted time following.

Answer 7

Saddam Broke several UN resolutions, and attacked our planes in the no fly zone, along with the fact that he murdered and tortured tens of thousands of Iraqis. We were not sure about his WMD capability, and intelligence indicated that he had or would shortly have WMD. Bill Clinton agreed with this analysis also - see the link below. Given Sadam's know propensity to fund terrorist activities - such as paying tens of thousands to the families of suicide bombers, he did not leave us much choice. Hillary also voted to go into Iraq. Now that we are there Al Queda is importing terrorists who are killing Iraqi citizens, and Iran is also sending in terrorists and weapons. Let's kill the terrorists there. We need to take the gloves off with these terrorists. That means that the freaking NY Times should stop being a propaganda tool for the terrorists, for example, but the NY Times takes their marching orders from the DNC, so I doubt that will change soon.

Answer 8

the simplest, shortest answer i can give is this. saddam had ties to terrorist organizations which did not necessarily carry the al qaeda label and no official tie is ever referenced. however, hussein WAS in cahoots with terrorists and was a very real and present danger to this country. he WAS trying desperately to reconstitute his nuclear program, he DID have stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons which were not found in iraq after we invaded because they were, as military experts say, shipped to syria in the six months leading up to the u.s. invasion, and he would have DEFINITELY sold those weapons to any outfit that would use them to attack us or our interests around the world or use them himself if he ever got the chance. THAT is why we went into iraq in the first place and fighting islamists and keeping their focus on us THERE instead of HERE is why we are STILL in iraq today...

Answer 9

It wasn't directly.

I think the plan was to surround Iran. (Who is a confimed terrorist state) Look at a map of the middle east. Notice Iraq and Afganistan are the US's only non"Allies" surrounding Iran

Toppleing Saddam Hussein was a bonus. The world (Especially the Kurds in Iraq)is better off without him.

Answer 10

9/11 is not linked to Iraq in any way whatsoever. However it is linked directly to the White House! Have you ever heard name Marvin Bush? If not just go to Google and type it in... .
