Wasn't it Iraq where all the terrorist were hanging out at? And where is Bin Ladden?

Question

Now it's Pakastan.

Answer 1

Terrorists weren't in Iraq until we destablized it. Radicals have always been in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. This adminsitration gave up looking for Bin Laden years ago.

Answer 2

No, terrorists were NOT in Iraq. Saddam Hussein hated Al Queda or any other foreign interlopers.

Terrorists only found room in Iraq after we invaded and let the country collapse into chaos.

Answer 3

No. Aghanistan is where the Taliban put out the welcome mat for terrorists after the Soviets were drivin out. The 9-11 terrorists trained in Afghanistan. Mullah Omar was the Taliban ruler of Afghanistan. Osama Bin Laden lived there until he escaped to Pakistan. You may recall after 9-11 the US bombed Afghaninstan well before we went to war in Iraq. You might also recall the Bush Administration declared that we had won the war in Afghanistan several days after the bombing began. However, we are still fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan several years later. The Taliban control most of the country side in Afghanistan and enjoy wide popular support among the impoverished rural Afghans.

Saddam Husein had virtually no ties to terrorsists, especially, Al Queda. Since Hussein was a secular leader he was not liked by Muslim fudementalists. When Husseain ruled Iraq: Women were allowed to suprvise men on the job; women went to college and held prominent positions, i.e. doctors, engineers, ect. Perhaps you remember "Dr. Germ" from the most wanted whose faces were put on playing cards given to US Soldiers in Iraq. Dr. Germ was a woman. (She was released shortly after she was captured and deemed not to be a threat since the WMD program she was supposed to be in charge of did not exist.)

The only relations Saddam had with terrorists were largely with Palestinian terrorists. He sent money to the families of suicide bombers in Isreal. The only known presence of Al Quada in Iraq prior to the US invasion was a small group of Al Qauda who had minor contact with the Kurds. However, while the US was aware of this very minor activity we did not bother the Al Qauda operatives since the Kurds were and are our allies. Saddam hated the Kurds who consider themselves to be an independent nataion much like the Palestinians do.

Once the US invaded Iraq, Al Qauda began sending it's soldiers and suicide bombers to Iraq where they still kill US Soldier and cause much misery for the Iraqis. However, Al Queda did not enter Iraq until after the US invaded Iraq.

Answer 4

There were no terrorists in Iraq until we got there. All the hijackers were Saudi Arabian. Bin Laden supposedly is in Pakistan somewhere.

Answer 5

The terrorist arnt all in one country the problem isnt a gerneric as you try to make it sound. Try reading a book. BTW they have always been in afganistan where have you been for the last 6 1/2 years

Answer 6

The Hirabah (those carrying out sinful war in violation of the Koran) perform Hijra (voluntary expatriation for the purpose of waging war). Many performed Hijra and entered Al Anbar Province in the western part of Iraq after the collapse of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Many of them gathered in Beyit Al Shuhada (Martyr's Houses) where they attempted to attack U.S. forces and died the death of fools.
In short, they followed the same travel scheme used by those who carried out the attack on America of September 11, 2001 and they continue to use that pattern because they know that the average American knows more about celebrities than those who want to kill Americans.

Terrorist are every where and in every country even the USA. They are of all colors, shapes, and sizes. Of Every race, religion, and nationality.

Answer 8

Nothing is in Iraq, only oil.

Answer 9

No it wasn't.
