At what point in 2003 did Iraq become a "threat to our freedom" as previously stated by a responder?

Question

In 2003, by what means was Iraq going to interfere with the American way of life?

A responder stated that those kids are dying to protect my freedoms and I would like to see the details of the means that Iraq was going to take my freedoms away.

Knee jerk reaction neo-cons talk big and deliver small.

Thanks for the detailed answer to this post. (or rather lack there of)

Answer 1

That was reason #4 for invading Iraq and wasn't declared until a year or two after the shooting started and after the first three reasons wouldn't hold water.

Answer 2

Perhaps you missed Clintons statements that Saddam was a threat to the free world...in 1998.

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

Answer 3

I would say the minute Reagan's state department authorized a culture of B. anthracis to be sent to Saddam.


originalrobert, that so-called aspirin factory, was an attempt to kill Osama, which was there several hours earlier.

Answer 4

Iraq never was a threat to our freedom, unless you think they would risk nuclear annhiliation.

Instead of an intelligent response, Bush Cheney Rumsfeld and Rice sold an emotional story, and one that failed our great republic: that our freedom was in jeopardy.

The proof of this lie was that there were no WMDs. That and the fact that the country crumpled easily.

Now the threat to our freedom has become realized because the Bush administration has weakened our military, lost capital we could have used for futuristic weapons systems, and divided our nation, and worse, no matter what he claims America's next president will be elected on the basis of his/her promise to get us out of this quagmire.

Bush is an atrocity. A moron given too much power, and a petty man convinced of his own omnipotence.

Such was the hubris of Rome.

Answer 5

This has been the question to avoid since 2003 if your a Republican.

Answer 6

If a responder said 2003, they were talking about Jan, Feb, and Mar 1st- 20th. Interfering with American way of life by a terrorist attack, such as 9/11. Come on Chi, you know Iraq was a threat to us, if a guy living out of a cave can do it then why couldn't Saddam?

Answer 7

Iraq was a "threat to our freedom" to claim its oil.

Answer 8

We lost freedoms after 9/11 because we sacraficed liberty for security and got neither. Go figure, we were warned.

Answer 9

Hey commy, why don't you add the comments of your comrades from the late 90's and early 2000's. Oh that's right you commucrats can't be held accountable for anything you have said more than 10 days ago. When a conservative agrees with you communists it turn to a lie. How's that?

Answer 10

When Saddam by the claims of Democrats, remember Clinton bombing the medicine factory.? Intelligence thought it was a wmd factory. And guess what, rather than risk that it might not be one, he choose to bomb it. Since Saddam used wmd's before, there was no reason to believe he didn't have them and his actions sure didn't dispel that. The best defense is a good offense.
