Clowns like you and this author have forgotten 911 and have forgotten that we didn't seek this war.
Are you referring to the war in Iraq or the war on terror? Contrary to what you may think, they are not one in the same. The 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by a terrorist organization with no ties to Iraq. We went after them in Afghanistan (while ignoring their direct link to Saudi Arabia, but that's another issue). The fact is that this administration was gunning for Iraq from day one, and it has exploited the 9/11 tragedy ad nauseum to further its agenda.
Well, not exactly. There has been no demostrated tie between Iraq and the atrocity perpetrated on 9/11, but there is definite physical evidence of ties between Iraq and al-Qaeda. Salman Pak, for example. Numerous intercepts that have been made public. Established relationships between Iraqi intelligence and members of al-Qaeda. Saddam actively cultivated relationships with a large number of Islamic organizations (the assertion made earlier that he was strictly secular is ludicrous - that individual may never have seen an Iraqi flag). Some of these that we know are Ansar al-Islam (al-Qaeda offshoot), Mujahedeen Khalq (Iranian Shi'ites), Hezbollah (Lebanese Shi'ites), and of course Hamas, in a big way.
It wasn't even ideological, it was just business, and that business involved terrorism in a large number of states, including Lebanon, Israel, Iran, the Yemen, Somalia, and the U.S., just to name a few off the top of my head. Nor was Saddam the only head of state involved. This whole thing is truly a network, and all sorts of people are playing who in theory would have nothing to do with one another.
Nice liberal garabge. You must miss Bill Clinton too.
