Seems you missed 9-11.

Baloney. You've never heard me utter even a whisper of opposition to the war in Afghanistan. The war in Iraq has nothing to do with that; in fact, I contend that 9/11 simply gave this administration a convenient excuse to carry out a war in Iraq that it wanted to pursue the moment it took office.

If you need any proof of that statement, consider this: the civilian leadership in the Department of Defense in this administration is dominated by people who have been publicly calling for U.S. military action in Iraq for the last ten years. What is most remarkable in light of all this was their astonishing lack of any interest in al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden anytime before 9/11.

Uh, seems you are not aware that we HAVE been involved in military actions in Iraq for the last ten years.

Now you are blaming an administration that had only been in place for a few months for 9/11. You would be better off with your pals over at DU.

If Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda, why did Al Qaeda bomb Spain to get their troops out Iraq?
