Dont try to re-write history, the Iraq War had nothing to do with 9-11

Then you explain to me why the US went into Iraq? To steal the oil from
them? Cuz Saddam threatened to kill Dubya's daddy? To build that
pipeline across the country to the Caspian Sea? (no, wait, that was
Afghanistan). Just to fill the pockets of Dubya and his cronies with cash?

All of the above.


Think like an mature adult. Iraq has nothing directly to do with Bali I
and II, Madrid bombings, London bombings, pushing Irving Klinghoffer off
of a cruise ship in his wheelchair, Beirut hostage taking, chopping off
Daniel Perl's head...on and on for the past 30 years. But what they DID
have was WMDs and a propensity

Ooohhh, propensity -- that's reason for a first strike. Better
hope no one gets the idea that our commander-in-thief has a
"propensity" for initiating a baseless war.

to use them against their own internal
enemies and a sympathy with the nutcases waging war against the West.
Its pretty clear that Saddam's Iraq had the MOST resources at the
disposal of factions like the 9/11 murderers and was a good place to
start.

You cannot separate 9/11 from today's Iraq. The little mini-incidents
that the radical muslims have perpetrated against the West pale in
comparison to the 4000 lives lost right here on US soil.

Your asshole is working overtime to disggorge a statistic like
that one.

To not do
something about it would be folly. If 9/11 had not occurred, we
wouldn't be there. In that sense Iraq has much to do with 9/11.

That is the most cynical ****ing piece of circular reasoning
I've ever seen. In other words, we're there because we launched a
baseless war with no connection to 9/11. Therefore we're there because
of 9/11. So much for your thinking "like a mature adult".



I respect the people who must make these bold decisions and the
foot-soldiers obliged to carry out the task.

Oh, Jesus -- another "My country -- right or wrong, my
country".

I'm neither a politician
or a military strategist

... nor much of a "mature adult" thinker.

- and subsequently I'm not a Monday Morning
Quarterback calling the game that isn't finished yet.

... and by decree of the head lunatic in charge, can never be
finished. You'll never get to put that jersey on, so burn it now.

I'm glad this
type of whining "it costs every taxpayer $xxx" didn't happen in 1944.
Back then "Blame America First" wasn't very fashionable.

Standard right-wing dick-waggling. The fascist righties are
always willing to cut a program for the less well off based on "my tax
money", but they'll willingly **** away a hundred thousand times more
of taxes when it goes to the foreign adventurism of a deranged
president and his war-profiteering cronies.
