So bush didn't go out of his way to say "al-queada" "bin laden" or "9/11" everytime saddam or iraq was mentioned?
He may never have outright said "Saddam was responsible for 9/11" but he damn sure said everything close to it without completely implicating himself, cause just like the threat of saddam hitting us with wmd's, and the stockpiles of nukulur weapons just pointed at us, it was all bullshit. Just as the oil was gonna pay for the war and the war wasn't gonna cost us much money and the oil would pay for the rebuilding, etc etc.
I believe the war was right.
I believe it was Saddams responsibility to prove his weapons program was gone as mandated under the UN.
He didn't because he had Koffi Anan, the UN, France, Germany and Russia in his pocket with the Food For Oil Program Scandal.
He never thought they'd let us invade him.
He kept up the facade to make everyone fear him.
I believe Bush's policies towards the Mexican border are hypocritical to National Security needs. Not that John Kerry would do anything different but I believe that border is a huge hole for terrorists to cross and not to mention the drain on our eceonomy it creates.
As for the oil. I don't remember him saying Iraqi oil would pay for it. I remember him saying it's the Iraqi's oil. For them to do with what they want. If they feel it's right to incur the reconstruction costs then so be it. Anything less WOULD make the "war for oil" cries valid.
But right now, they aren't.
Iraq is a part of the war on terror.
So is the war in Afghanistan, Bin laden, Al Queda etc.
That doesn't mean they're all necessarily tied in together.
Look at Libya and their involvement in the bombing of the Pan Am flight over Lockerbee Scottland.
Because of the war in iraq Khaddafi gave up his nuclear weaponry and let inspectors have free reign of his county.
That's another victory in the war on terror.
But that isn't tieing them to 9/11.
North Korea is in the axis of evil but that doesn't tie them to 9/11.
The closest comparison Bush made between Saddam and Al Queda was that Saddam paid off families of suicide bombers in Hammas. Is it so far fetched to think he'd do the same to groups targeting the United States?
And if so, were you willing to wait until it happened to react?
I think in a post 9/11 world, retalliations are not acceptable.
