It's so interesting how you can't or won't respond to my two posts to you about just what kind of threat Iraq presented to the United States.

The two posts quoted directly from the 9/11 Commission and Senate Intelligence Committee reports but I can see you don't have the ability to argue on the facts and resort constantly to leftist mantra.

sorry, I didn't see your posts. I know what the 9/11 report said, but even Bush has said numerous times that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Did Iraq have terrorists running around the country? Absolutely. But so does every muslim country on earth.

I will try and explain again. After 9/11, everyone knew the problem was Islamic in nature. The neocons were convinced that if we invaded Iraq and turned it into a functioning western democracy that it would have a spill over effect in the rest of the area thus making the entire region safer. Jordan and Egypt, our friends said it would just create more Jihadists.

The neocons were convinced that since Iraq had a secular tradtion, it would be easy to convert into a pro western regime. They gambled and right now we're stuck with young men dying.
