Ode, your stupid. … Ode, your stupid. Think about it, what would a person more likely do….keep their mouth shut about a coverup that killed 3,000 American’s to keep their funding on their scienc project, or bring the ‘truth’ to the public and be the next great patriot, cementing his/her name in the history books going forward.
The point is that … The point is that we attacked Iraq DESPITE 9/11, not because of it. So, any of you twoofers who believe 9/11 was an inside job so that we can invade Iraq show a complete and utter ignorance of the history and facts that led to that war.
We armed Saddam … We armed Saddam with anything we could in the 80’s because he was at war with Iran. It was precisely this close relationship that he had with us that made him think he could invade Kuwait and get away with an international slap on the wrist. I think I remember he was even reassured through back channels that we would not get involved. Anyway, I think our other Arab friends in the region feared they would be next, so we ended up with the Gulf War.
I remember the … I remember the Senate looking into this and they DID find that the US DID sell chemical weapons to Iraq specifically nerve gas used on Kurds.
The Senate … The Senate committee’s reports on ‘US Chemical and Biological Warfare-Related Dual-Use Exports to Iraq’, undertaken in 1992 in the wake of the Gulf war, give the date and destination of all US exports. The reports show that on May 2, 1986, two batches of bacillus anthracis — the micro-organism that causes anthrax — were shipped to the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education, along with two batches of the bacterium clostridium botulinum, the agent that causes deadly botulism poisoning.
WTF? Bribe … WTF? Bribe witnesses? Aircraft appearing & disappearing – & why aren’t you directly responding to me? ILoIL! “Bribing?” Do you realize how easy it’d be to just threaten somebody with the loss of their position? How many scientists can perpetually fund their own work?
i like this guy hes … i like this guy hes smart he wont be convinced by stuiped peace of conspiracy theory holes who only want to believe that our government is responsible for 9/11

spoken word
In his May 1 … In his May 1 declaration of military victory in Iraq from the deck of the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, Bush said, “We have removed an ally of al-Qaida and cut off a source of terrorist funding.” He also said, “The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror.”
Bush thought … Bush thought Clinton was letting Saddam off the hook in complying with its obligations. Remember the oil for food scandal? Saddam was playing games with the inspectors re. WMD’s too, under Clinton. Bush, as a candidate and as President, before 9/11, said he will hold Saddam accountable. Your quotes speak to the issues I just mentioned, not to 9/11. If you know the history, you won’t jump to unwarranted conclusions. Again, look at the UN resolution.
March 18th George w … March 18th George w. bush’s ultimatum….
“The danger is clear: using chemical weapons, biological, or,one day, nuclear weapons obtained with the help of iraq, the terrorists could….kill hundreds of thousands of thousnads of ppl”
Bush’s state of the union 29th jan. 2003
“The gravest danger in the war on terror, is outlaw regimes that seek and possess nuclear, chemical, and bio weapons.”
So plz explain to me how it is that the government didnt use 9/11 to justify their war in iraq?
I can’t prevent you … I can’t prevent you from making any connection or conjecture you wish. You may believe that we attacked Iraq because we thought Santa Claus was hiding there. The facts are as they are and I won’t repeat them. The reasons for going to Iraq have been stated officially internationally and are a matter of record for those interested in facts, not in fantasies. 911 was NOT part of it.
bullshit…we have … bullshit…we have attacked iraq and found them enriching uranium and they were ACTUALLY doing it then. we also tried to overthrough saddam many times before. so why is it that all of a sudden coincidence that after 9/11 we would just up and attack iraq while we were also attacking afganistan? maybe because we thought it served a purpose in the war on terror? i think so. if u cant make that connection well then we just have to agree to disagree.
mrwizard, it’s … mrwizard, it’s funny, because about two years ago, I argued with odetoinsolence about the very flash you are talking about. The big flash at 7:18 is not a demolision charge and doesn’t even resemble one.
Yes, we would have. … Yes, we would have. W said so before 911 and even before becoming president, while he was a candidate. Also, you may THINK we went into Iraq because of 911 but the legal reason we went into iraq and and the resolution passed by the UN authorizing millitary action against iraq was its failure to comply fully with the IEAE. Whether the intelligence was wrong on WMDs, whether they were moved in to Syria, etc. is irrelevant to the claim that it was 911 we attacked Iraq for.

Why wasn’t any WMD’s found? Oh that’s right, no way the U.S. could have pulled off planting them there.
Much easier to make planes and missles appear/disappear and bribe and kill witnesses and passengers so we can attack ourselves.
Make sense?

No WMD ever found, Saddam was sold chemical weapons by the US, but people like SharkGoddess never really learn…
