Right, no Iraq 9/11 ties, no WMD. Who would have thunk that is why our troops are there? We invaded because they were killing their own people and we wanted to make them a democracy that loved us and their neighbors. Like the Blues Brothers, we were on a mission from God.
Did you forget the /sarcasm flag?
We were on a mission to do what had to be done which was to take out a mad-man Saddam who had previously invaded Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, had links to Al Qaida and had WMDs. The fact we haven't found WMD stockpiles that were hidden wherever is irrevelant.
Question: Why would Saddam have a painting made showing his pleasure at 9/11 .. IF he was not a participant in it ..?? Maybe Saddam didn't plan it, organize it, or train the terrorists .. but he could easily have funded it, and provided the place for training as evidenced by the airline shell at Salmon Pak.
