Why are liberals the only ones saying we are in Iraq because of 9/11?

Question

I've not heard this idiotic claim by anyone else except for liberals trying to make excuses for why we shouldn't be there. Why do liberals ignore the real reasons we are there.

Wow, I seem to have ruffled a lot of ignorant liberal feathers, didn't I?!

Answer 1

BECAUSE REGARDLESS OF THE FACTS [[THE LOOSE CHANGES COLLEGE LIBS]] BELIEVERS ARE NOT ABOUT TO SEE IT ANY OTHER WAY. THINK ABOUT, BACK IN 1991 WHAT WERE THEY, MAYBE 10YRS OLD WHEN IRAQ INVADED KUWAIT. The Persian gulf war had the support of all the Arab nations. The question is why did we have to go back into Iraq, was it because they violated the UN peace agreement time and time again. Fired on American and British pilots more than 750 times, sent Iraq planes into no fly zones, killing IRAQ'S in the north and the south. Violate 17 different UN sanctions, jerked the UN inspectors around time and time again, there is so much more but who here is going to listen. P.S. what about the 20,000 Kurds in northern Iraq that where killed by the VX NERVE GAS.

Answer 2

This is hilarious!

It's for oil!
Bush linked Al Qaida and Saddam!


Whats really odd is that many people don't remember or realize that we were technically still at war with Iraq from the Gulf War. There was no peace treaty signed, only a cease fire. Much like North and South Korea.
He broke and or scoffed and ignored 11 UN resolutions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1441
The last being resolution 1441. The UN giving Saddam ONE FINAL CHANCE to disarm and show proof of it. He did not do it.
Even Hillary said he had them. It's not my fault she didn't read the reports, thats just her laziness.

The ENTIRE worlds intelligence organizations said he had WMD's. Even Russia and France.
After 9/11, given Iraq's history, Saddam's attitude and willingness to sell ANYTHING for cash, you know, like the ten million in U.S. currency they found stashed in his palaces?
Could anybody imagine what would happen had Al Quida gotten their hands on that stuff?
He had all his planes and remaining heavy armor moved before we attacked to Iran. To this day I still believe Iran and Syria have the WMD's we're looking for.
If he didn't have them, why was he so hesitant to allow inspectors in and prove he didn't have them?

And to quote Bush and or Cheney.
They both said that Iraq would become the new front on the war on terror. They were right about that, it did. I don't recall either of them saying that they had definitive proof of a connection between Saddam and Osama. They did however say it was a possibility but not absolute.

Libs hear what they want to hear and dissect things to the point of making it unrecognizable.

Answer 3

You are correct. The people telling you youre dumb are mistaking The White House's support of the war on the basis of the War on terror and NOT just 9/11.

But what I think theyre bringing up is at one point the White House tried to argue the links between Al Queda and Saddam to appease liberals to give them further reason we needed to be there. But there was nothing wrong with our original reasoning. It was a PR mistake by the White House. They should just let libs flap their ignorant gums and hang themselves by their own words.

Answer 4

Well we've been given about 5 reasons why we're there... And I don't think any Liberal is saying that. In fact, most would say that the Iraq war has nothing to do with the war on terrorism. Many Democrats think that we are fighting in the wrong place. Democrats are the ones saying that there was no connection between 9/11 and Saddam or Saddam and Al Qaeda. Many agree with Afghanistan. I want to know where you heard this claim...

Answer 5

It's the low educated liberals who post that BS. They seem to have ADHD and can't concentrate on a single thing for more than a couple of seconds. I really love the ones like your first answer from an idiot troll and those that say it's for oil. I mean can they get any more stupid? WAIT! Don't answer that cause I know they can.

Answer 6

First, Bush is the one who said after 9/11 that Iraq had ties to Al Qaeda. Second, liberals aren't ignoring the real reason we are in Iraq. How can anybody ignore the real reason when even the president can't give us the real reason. Are we there because of 9/11, oil, WMD's or to spread democracy? Sh^* man, the reason changes every effin day.

Answer 7

1. I suppose some of the Liberals who've answered you have proved your point.

2. Who cares what Liberals say...

3. What a surprise..? One admitted Liberal below said she's aware that We've been at war since the first Gulf War. I guess she's right. She's educated (and intelligent/honest)
What a refreshing change.

Answer 8

Excuse me, but my nostrils are twitching. Are you smoking some sort of halucinatory vegetable?

All through 2003 and 2004 the polls gave very high figures for people who believed that 9/11 was one of the reasons for justifying the invasion of Iraq(as high as 80%). The Bush administration and its puppet masters in Israel began making noises to this effect as early as Sept.12,2001.

I,myself heard Mr. Ariel Sharon say on TV only hours after the attack (when our intelligence services hadn't even made public who was responsible for it) ¨It would be very dangerous indeed if the United States were NOT to attack Iraq.¨

You are right in one thing only. It is indeed an idiotic claim but I am afraid that only the jokers in the White House are responsible for it. They counted on it being believed by a nation in which millions of people are convinced that Elvis is alive.

Do you really know why we are in Iraq? Bush & Co. have given so many confusing and contradicting stories about this that it has been hard to keep track of them. As each one is proved a lie they invent some new piece of garbage: WMD, 9/11 was planned there,Sadam has broken UN resolutions,Sadam Husein is a monster and has to be brought to justice, we have to bring the Iraquis the gift of democracy,etc etc etc....

Only a threat to our nation's territory and physical integrity can justify the invasion of a sovereign state by our armed forces. No such threat ever existed from Iraq and I ask you to present proof here that it ever did.

Have you ever asked yourself where the false disinformation about WMD came from? It did not come from OUR intelligence services. We didn't have any reliable enough!! That disinformation came from Mossad and we passed it off to the world and at the UN as our own. Our greatest ally (and we pay them through the nose to be our allies,how about that?) duped us without batting an eyelash.

Answer 9

Sorry but the Government has made it difficult to keep the story straight.

Official story from the Government...

2003 - Saddam has WMDs and we must disarm him.
2004 - Okay, we couldn't find actual WMDs..but Saddam was BAD and had ties to Al Qaida and since Al Qaida is responsible for 9/11..guilty by association. Six degrees of 9/11.
2005 - Okay, maybe there wasn't much of any ties - we never said there were. We invaded to bring peace and democracy to Iraq. Look! Half the country voted! Kinda like the US! Cept.. more partisan among religious lines...
2006 - Well - NOW Al Qaida is here.. so we got to fight 'em here so we don't have to fight 'em at home. Let's roll!
2007 - Greenspan - "It's the oil"

Answer 10

Are you kidding me. This remark of 9/11 comes from the administration and others consistently referancing 9/11 and the Al Qaidi in reference to the ware in Iraq.

Though you don't hear much reference tying Iraq and 9/11 together anymore if you go back to statements made from administration officials including George Bush from the past couple years you will see the link referenced.
