To war supporters: do you still believe iraq had anything to do with 9/11?

Answer 1

I support the war on terror, including the front in Iraq.

I never said 9/11 had anything to do with Iraq but have pointed out that Saddam was an active supporter of terrorism to the tune of paying 25k per suicide bomber and allowing terrorists including al-Zarqawi to live in his capital.

Only the anti-war types are so illogical and uninterested in the truth to attempt to connect those FACTS in an argument against fighting terrorists and tyrannies.

Even more interesting is that you take THIS day to spew political hatred.

Answer 2

Iraq did the 1st 9/11, ie, the 'ninety 3 attack on the international commerce center, and then the assassination attempt on Pres. Bush Sr. they additionally funded and offered terrorist assaults on Israeli civilians for many some years. In late 2002, the U.S. Congress voted overwhelmingly for the regime exchange of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. After the regime exchange, the United countries welcomed the removing of Saddam Hussein, recommended the hot constitutional repbulic of Iraq, and asked the U.S. to offer protection rigidity protection for the Iraqi government until such time that they could do it independently. And this is been validated that there have been many communications and agreements between Iraq and Al Qaeda beforehand of 9/11, in simple terms as Bush Jr have been asserting at that element. The above is a simplied answer on your basic question. you're welcome.

Answer 3

I know that Iraq and Saddam had nothing to do with the 9/11 Attacks, but that is so irrelevant. Iraq is where Al Qaeda is now, they are stuck there. Iraq is the terrorist magnet and our troops and Iraqis are killing them.

Answer 4

I'll answer the same thing I answered elsewhere:

First and foremost, no one has ever tied 9/11 to Iraq at all. That's merely an implication made by the media to sell a story... scandal is a great way to print more ink.

Second, Iraq was not involved with al quaeda directly. HOWEVER, they were involved with affiliate organizations. As the oil for food program SHOULD have been doing (if france hadn't been illegally brokering weapons deals with Iraq in violation of UN Policies) was bankrupting the Iraqi Government... which means IF the reports about WMD had been true then there was a distinct possibility that a greedy saddam would sell WMDs to the affiliated organizations, which could then, in turn, sell them to bin laden.

My suggestion to all, if you'd like to ACTUALLY understand the reasoning which led to the Iraq War, is to read the book "American Soldier" by General Tommy Franks.

Answer 5

Anyone who says BushCo didn't try to tie Iraq to 9/11 is an idiot liar. We all know the truth. We heard the speeches.

And yes, according to recent polls 33% of Americans STILL believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11. They might be in hiding on Y!A, but those fools are out there.

Answer 6

Iraq had nothing to do with it. It was Al Queda which is based primarily in Iraq and other middle eastern countries. I think we will eventually overcome the Al Queda forces.

Answer 7

Iraq supports Cobra the biggest multinational terrorist organization. That's why we had to send the G.I. Joes.

Answer 8

With 9/11 no, with support for terrorism, absolutely yes. Plaese see the following points:

In 1993, the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) directed and pursued an attempt to assassinate, through the use of a powerful car bomb, former U.S. President George Bush and the Emir of Kuwait. Kuwaiti authorities thwarted the terrorist plot and arrested 16 suspects, led by two Iraqi nationals.

Iraq sheltered terrorist groups including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has used terrorist violence against Iran and in the 1970s was responsible for killing several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians.

Iraq sheltered several prominent Palestinian terrorist organizations in Baghdad, including the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), which is known for aerial attacks against Israel and is headed by Abu Abbas, who carried out the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered U.S. citizen Leon Klinghoffer.

Iraq sheltered the Abu Nidal Organization, an international terrorist organization that has carried out terrorist attacks in twenty countries, killing or injuring almost 900 people. Targets have included the United States and several other Western nations. Each of these groups have offices in Baghdad and receive training, logistical assistance, and financial aid from the government of Iraq.

In April 2002, Saddam Hussein increased from $10,000 to $25,000 the money offered to families of Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers. The rules for rewarding suicide/homicide bombers are strict and insist that only someone who blows himself up with a belt of explosives gets the full payment. Payments are made on a strict scale, with different amounts for wounds, disablement, death as a "martyr" and $25,000 for a suicide bomber. Mahmoud Besharat, a representative on the West Bank who is handing out to families the money from Saddam, said, "You would have to ask President Saddam why he is being so generous. But he is a revolutionary and he wants this distinguished struggle, the intifada, to continue."

Former Iraqi military officers have described a highly secret terrorist training facility in Iraq known as Salman Pak, where both Iraqis and non-Iraqi Arabs receive training on hijacking planes and trains, planting explosives in cities, sabotage, and assassinations.

Answer 9

Other than allowing the Al-Qeada train in northern Iraq, no.

Answer 10

Never did. I distinctly remember that it was pointed out that Iraq did not have any involvement.
