The war in Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11

John Kerry seemed to enjoy saying over and over during the 2004 presidential campaign that Iraq did not attack America on 9/11. Kerry’s infamous argument that the war in Iraq was the “wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time” was a case that Saddam Hussein was in no way a subject of the global war on terror.

Liberal news commentators have been fond of asking the question: If George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have not been at least implying that Saddam Hussein had something to do with the 9/11 attacks then why do 80% of their supporters still believe that to be true?”

Here’s is the answer to both Kerry’s claims and the accusatory questioning of the liberal pendants: conservative minded people are not fools. We do not need the details outlined in The 9/11 Commission Report, showing a history of terrorist support, to know that Iraq has supported terrorists. We do not need all the reams of intelligence from agencies throughout the world, which simply reveal that Saddam Hussein’s regime was itself a terrorist organization, to know that Iraq was a hotbed of terror.

We are not fools. We know that Osama Bin Laden likely planned the attack on America. The specific group of terrorists who identify themselves as Al-Qaida may have carried out the horrific acts of war on our Pentagon and the World Trade Center. But the war on terror is against Al-Qaida, Hizballah, Islamic Jihad, HAMAS, Abu Nidal, hundreds of other terror “organizations,” and every individual who seeks only to kill for the sake of Allah or any other reason. Saddam Hussein is counted as prominent among these terrorists.

Making no mistake, we know that the war on terror is currently focused on the most vicious and wide-spread seed of terror; that which grows out of the religion of Islam. We know that the war on terror is a war against Muslim radicals, Muslim extremists and Muslim moderates who support terror and who cheered at the deaths of thousands of Americans and other Nationals on 9/11.

We also know that Iraq is filled with these terrorists, that it has been a terrorist state. Do we need to stop and make a special statement that not all Muslims are terrorists? No, we are Americans. We believe in individuality. We judge people as individuals. It is one of the few things left that makes America different from most of the world. We know the truth: far too many Muslims throughout the world are terrorists.

Islamic terrorists are joined, not by organization, affiliation, treaty or agreement. They are connected by a hateful ideology that says that anyone who is not a Muslim should be killed. With a hive mentality they may use different names and may never associate directly one with another but they are all one in their goals of destruction.

Why do conservative minded people believe that Iraq was involved with the 9/11 deaths? It is not because George .W Bush or Dick Cheney said that Iraq was involved with 9/11. It is not because overwhelming evidence proves Saddam Hussein took part in the plot. It is with basic intuition and simple common sense that we ask ourselves these questions and know the answers:

Did Saddam Hussein support terrorists? Have terrorists been trained in Iraq? Are terror groups harbored in Iraq? Was Iraq a likely breeding ground for future terror attacks? Is the world a better and safer place if Iraq is free, democratic and against terrorism?

Have you ever seen the assortment of black on white symbols that appear below the main title in most every post. They look something like this:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890.,?!

Now there is something you may not have noticed. When these strange symbols are put together in specific ways they impart meaning. Which leads us to,

Concept #1: The primary meaning contained in a FreeRepublic post is located below the main title.

Let's try a few sections ourselves shall we!

THE WAR IN IRAQ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11
If you believe that you are a fool.

Ok, now let's try putting those symbols together in our mind to see what happens, "AGGGGHHH ZOT ZOT YOUR A TROLL PPPHHHHHBBBBHTTTT ZOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!". Ok that was a..., um.., fine start but maybe this is time for,

Concept #2: Some ideas require more than one sentence to relay their meaning to the reader.

I know that in today's society where great truths are imparted with minimal verbosity like "Four legs good! Two legs bad!" it's easy to give up after the first few microseconds of reading. But if you devote a few extra minutes to reading a post you will be pleasantly surprised with the results!

Now look at the line that I've marked with bold for you,"conservative minded people are not fools". You will notice that this statement is contrary to the title of the article. Now you might be thinking, "Oh No! The author must be lying to me. It's a conspiracy! What ever shall I do!". Don't worry, there's no need to fret! This is actually a technique used to pull a reader (at least most readers) into the article. Quite a dastardly thing to do I admit but reading sometimes has its dangers.

But armed with this insight I'm sure that someday you and other prezotters will become excellent readers of FreeRepublic posts.(cue closing music, fade to black)

Someone had posted an image, which seems to be gone now. The picture compared the terrorists in Falujah to the Americans fighting the British during the revolution. It is ridiculously anti-American to try to make such a comparison.(which may be why the image was stricken)

One man's terrorist IS NOT another man's freedom fighter when it comes to Islamic terrorism.

The American revolution was fought for freedom of all religion and freedom from the tyranny of taxation without representation. Muslim terrorists fight to enslave all people in Islamic fascism. There is absolutely no moral equivalence.
