President Bush has answered this question more than once. Before 911, Iraq was shooting at our war planes everyday as they enforced the no-fly zones. After 911, the US was not going to allow such a man or regime to continue to threaten us everyday.


So before 911, Iraq was an irritation, after 911, it was something we were no longer going to deal with.

BUSH LIED; pt1/5 "Those NO TIES Lies"

“Notwithstanding four decades of intelligence reporting, IC officials and analysts expressed frustration over the lack of useful intelligence collected on Iraq’s involvement in terrorism, particularly on links to al-Qaida. A January 2003 IC assessment of Iraqi support for terrorism explained, "Our knowledge of Iraq’s ties to terrorism is evolving and (REDACTED)". Based on information provided to Committee staff, these gaps had three main causes: 1. a late start collecting against the target, 2. the lack of a U.S. presence in Iraq, and 3. reliance on foreign government services, opposition groups and defectors for current intelligence.” [emphasis added]
