Should We Go To War With Iraq? - Time To Choose.

[Is Don on the phone?]

but when exactly was saddam linked to the wtc attacks? i don't doubt that saddam is trouble and needs to be stopped, but why does the government insist on blaming him for 9/11?

Now that's the funny part; the government never really linked the two, and the war would not be about 9/11. Its about preventing the next attack, not avenging the dead from the attacks.

Of course, there was that meeting between Mohammed Atta and a known Iraqi intelligence agent prior to the attacks, but no one can nail that one down, so we can't put enough stock in it to call it evidence. And there is that training facility with the mock-up of a commercial airliner, apparently utilized by Iraqi intelligence to train small bands of jihadis on the finer points of taking an aircraft over with small bladed weapons, but THAT certainly does not positively link them to 9/11. Nor does the financial support to the homicide bombers of Palestine, while it links them to terrorism in general, it does not link them to 9/11 directly.

Do you really think Saadam will disarm on his own? He's had 12 years to disarm by himself, and he's done nothing but lie and cheat and connive his way around the U.N. You cannot negotiate with a liar, he will not keep his side of the bargain, no matter how many resolutions the U. N. passes.

And speaking of negotiating with liars, don't get me started on North Korea. Clinton gives 'em a sweetheart deal, and yet they still have their program intact. And people are STILL starving, and only have electricity for two hours a day (hence the lack of postings from Pyongyang on the ol' CDIH board).

And let's not forget Iran, and the line item in it's annual budget to support islamic terrorism worldwide.

We declared war not just on Al Quadea, but on terrorism. Do we really mean it, or are we just paying lip service to it as we have for the past 15-20 years, before it was tangible to us?
