Oh, really? Post a single scrap of evidence that a figure in the Iraqi government provided six-figure sums directly to the 9-11 hijackers. Post a single scrap of evidence that Al Qaeda leaders were walking around with the phone numbers of high Iraqi officials committed to memory. These are facts about the others you named. Go ahead - try to say them about Iraq.
"Every time they kill/capture AQ over there, you pretend it's not significant."
That's just a lie. Unless you truly believe that not forgiving them for their support of AQ in some circumstances just because they hunt them in others equates to "pretending it is not significant." But I'm sure you don't believe that, so it must be another of your vacations from the truth.
" The people who condemn Pakistan the loudest are likely those who would be complaining if we'd done Pakistan first that we were ignoring the bigger threat - Iraq."
Another misadventure with the truth, if you are applying it to me. It is really simple - I think the initial military response in the WOT should have been to punish those who attacked us and those who were involved in the attack. The ISI was involved in the attack. The Iraqi government was not. Those who attacked us were being sheltered on Pakistani soil, not Iraqi soil. The Pakistanis, not the Iraqis, were helping defend the Taliban.
Catching some jihadis to keep the aid and weaponry flowing in a country that has a surplus of jihadis does not, IMO, absolve them of their sins.
There you go again. Saying stuff about other countries and 9/11 that you've never said before (at least to me) and then expecting me to prove that Iraq did the exact same thing as those other countries.
I can, and have, provided information about how Iraq supported Al Qaeda directly and indirectly. Even the Senate Intelligence Committee report said that Iraq trained AQ terrorists in biological, chemical, and nuclear weaponry.
You and I will never agree on this matter.
You have been asked to stop posting to me. I have been asked to stop posting to you. I have abided by that request unless you post to me directly.
Which you continue to do repeatedly. Your stalking is not attractive. Most freepers know what you are. I've asked you to stop posting to me and you have refused, again.
