As far as I know, Saddam had no participation in 9/11.
we went into iraq first because saddam said he had weapons of mass destruction...
we took him at his word... nuff said.
It has been my belief that the 9-11 hijackers wereally trained at Salman Pak
The Iraq war was not directly related to 9/11 however the basis of the was was that the US would preemptively remove threats to US security. Saddam had WMD. He used them on Iran, the Kurds and his own people. Saddam tried to acquire the means of producing nuclear weapons. That’s why W removed him.
The first gulf war was ended by a cease fire agreement, not a peace treaty, so a violation of the terms justified that it could be resumed. W had both congressional UN approval for hostilities. The war was legal.
The UN demanded that Saddam comply with the disarmament terms. Saddam did not comply. W was authorized to use force to disarm Iraq.
Al Qaeda made Iraq a front and extended the insurgency. Fighters from outside of Iraq flowed in to join the remnants of Saddam’s tribe. By 2008 W had them beat. Victory in Iraq was a gigantic success and gave the middle east hope that democracy could succeed. The victory set off the middle east spring and tyrants were toppled.
Obama snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by pulling the troops out Iraq in an act of treasonous spite. ISIS filled the void and built its horrific caliphate. Not to mention, it was McCain’s idea to train and arm Syrian “moderates” to fight Assad who promptly switch sides and became ISIS. Christians were slaughtered, enslaved and taken as sex slaves thanks to Obama’s collaboration with Iran. Obama, not W, squandered the lives and treasure invested in the Iraq war and handed victory to Iran.
Omar, the parrot, mindlessly repeats the false left wing narrative on the Iraq war. I hope W and his admin wakes up and fires back for a change. Condoleezza vs Omar the tent maker would be an interesting debate.
Her comments were framed within the context of Islam.
HE WAS MUSLIM.
HE WAS A TERRORIST.
We should have nuked Baghdad, Mecca, Islamabad, Kabul, Tehran, and Mogadishu.
3 Saddam did shelter all Qaeda leaders.
OTOH - making claims of having lots of WMD’s right after the biggest terror attack on us, ever, was not a bright thing to do.
