THE WAR IN IRAQ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11
If you believe that you are a fool.
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?
If you believe the war in Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11 you are a fool.
My bad. I made the mistake of only reading the first sentence and getting angry.They were talking about Blather on TV, and I overreacted.
Sarcastic, reverse psychology title alert!!!
I too suspect a DU plot.....
Here's another question that Libs simply will not answer.
If Iraq is not related to the War Against Islamofascist Terrorism, then why would the terrorists care one way or another if Iraq were to become a stable, peaceful and democratic nation?
Why do they feel so much is at stake and do every evil thing within their power to maintain their vice grip on the nation of Iraq if it was not their battle to begin with?

Good article.
I just started that book this week."We were Soldiers"
Zarqawi has been in Iraq since before the war. He has been a known terrorist since before President Bush's first term. I guess this simple fact slipped the facts the MSM has been spewing.
People who get upset because they've only read the title of a thread and not the actual article are like people who get upset because they've only read the exit polls and not the actual results of the election.

Yikes====you, like many other people on this thread are completely misreading this article. Maybe the author is a little clumsy with his double negatives and polemics and contorted with his rhetoric, but there is nothing in this article any of us could disagree with.
He is TOTALLY WRONG. Those who think Iraq/Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 are NOT STUPID.
They are IGNORANT.
There is a DIFFERENCE.
Thanks for the links!
I just caught this film the other day...amazing!!!
See post 22. The article was clumsy, but the author seems to be making a good point. The sarcasm does not come off as clearly as it should, but I agreed with most of the points he or she was making. The author may want to drop the sarcasm when discussing issues of such great importance, unless he (or she) can employ it more skillfully.
I used the word FOOL. And I'm sure it's more accurate than IGNORANT. My argument is that we only need basic intuition and common sense to realize that all Islamic terrorism is associated with 9/11. Only a FOOL would disregard their own basic intuition and common sense.
You are correct.
and welcome to Free Republic.
Excellent point.
