Saddam Hussein is gone but can we win the war? The mastermind behind 9/11 is now rottening in hell.

Here in Sweden there is much doubt whether the war in Iraq is about Al-Qaeda. It´s almost hopeless to be one of the good guys in this socialist country.

Most of the politicians say the war in Iraq is a misstake and they think a better solution is to attack the country that is behind 9/11.

Swedish politicians often talk about wahabism as a problem. I don´t think wahabism is the problem. I do believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11 but my socialist country doesn't share my views.

[vetsvette]

It just goes to prove that 41% of Americans are morons.

[johnny7]

Wahabism is a major part of the problem... Islam is the rest of it.

[ml/nj]

What's worse is that eight percent believe George Bush was behind 9/11 and 62 percent of these people are Newsweek readers.

"40% of Americans Believe Saddam Behind 9/11"

I don't but he still needed to be gone....so get over it.

[ClearCase_guy]

Most unfortunate because, as far as I know, he wasn't.

But I think the irony is that President Bush never said he was. The Republicans have never emphasized his role in 9/11, just his role and ability in other terrorist activities.

So why do 41% of Americans associate Saddam with 9/11? It's because the Democrats talk about it so much.

[sirchtruth]

Sadam might not have been directly involved in
9/11, but you can be sure he was helping orchestrate
terror against the U.S.

[Always Right]

Sadamm was a terrorist supporting dictator who probably did not have direct involvement in 9/11, but still supported terrorism. There were a lot of reasons to get rid of Saddam prior to 9/11, the war on terror put the nail in the coffin.

[FreeAtlanta]

1). Saddam may or may not have had prior knowledge, but if it were not for him 911 and his financing and other support, 911 would not have occured.

2). We have found WMDs in Iraq, and they have been used for very small attacks against our troops.

[DJ MacWoW]

I do believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11

Newbie, if you're trying to get Freepers to agree, you won't. Saddam supported terrorism in general but had no apparent direct links to 9/11.

Oh, and welcome to FR.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Why does nobody get the connection.....no attacks on U.S. soil or anything like 9/11 anywhere in the world, since we took out Saddam. That doesn't prove he was behind 9/11, but it certainly suggests it to me. I believe Bin Laden and his gang were simply a bunch of gangsters hired by Saddam Hussein to get revenge on the U.S. We know Saddam tried to assassinate former President Bush; we know he blamed the U.S. for everything; we know the U.S. was the only power enforcing the economic sanctions and patrolling the no-fly zone. So why is it moronic to believe that Saddam hired Al Qaeda to try to take out the U.S. economy and governmenr in one crippling blow? We must not forget that Flight 93 was supposed to hit either the Capitol or the White House. Had it succeeded, things could have been far worse for the U.S. than they were. And we still do not know if there were other hijackings in moition that day that were stopped when all the flights were grounded.

Even under Bill Clinton, the U.S. government's position had always been that terrorist groups needed a state sponsor to be able to pull off really large and complex attacks like 9/11. Yet suddenly this doctrine disappears after 9/11. Why? Do people really believe that 19 hijackers were trained and this entire plot funded and managed out of some cave in Afghanistan? That is what is moronic, if you ask me.

[M Kehoe]

Here's one for you: Saddam supported and financed the first attack on the WTC. Ever heard of a guy named Ramsey Usef?

Welcome to FR.

Your are 100% correct about Saddam and 9-11.

It’s only natural for socialists to side with Saddam as he too was a socialist.

Write that in Swedish please.

We did win the war Iraq is just like the street of Philadelphia.

In 1993 Abu Yasin and Ramsey Youseff flew from Bagdhad to NYC on Iraqi passports. They then set off a bomb laced with cyanide in the WTC killing 6 and injuring more than 1,000. Yasin returned to Iraq where he was greeted by saddam as a hero.

Czech intelligence stands by their story that mohammed atta met with Iraqi intelligence in Prague. This meeting is dismissed by the CIA, the same intelligence organization that failed to see 9/11 coming and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

We did find wmd and prohibited programs in Iraq according to both the Duelfer and Kay reports. Gen. Georges Sada states that he knows the pilots that ferried chemical weapons to Syria. Let's not forget the truck convoys out of Iraq in the run up to the war. We also found yellowcake and enriched uranium, some of which we knew about, parts and plans for enrichment centrifuges and plans for nuclear weapons. Iraqi scientists stated that production would resume when the sanctions, gutted by Oil for Food, were lifted.

Zarqawi and many al-queda were given sanctuary in Iraq during the Afghan war. Funny that Obama wants to attack Pakistan, an ally, for harboring al-queda but says we shouldn't have attacked Iraq, an enemy, for doing the same.

Saddam was working with Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, Bush was too stupid to realize that the neo cons worked with Saddam and the Bildeburgers, I think the KKK was also in on it, someone had to blow up the buildings at the same time that the fake airplanes were sent into the buildings . ...check out Rosie O’Donell she knows all the stuff
