: by iraq funding terrorist organizations which may or may not have DIRECTLY contributed to 9-11, they allow them to train and recruit in their country.
Step back and think about that.
Al Queda's trained in Northern Iraq and... hey, wait, the Kurds control that part of Iraq.
And we have a MUCH MUCH longer and stronger papertrail between Saudi Arabia and Al Queda than Iraq but... oh yeah, the Sauds like selling us oil.
And we CREATED the Taliban and Al Queda with OUR money, to fight Russia in their Vietnam, in Afghanastan. They still use old American munitions out there.
But then that's the whole argument for the war, isn't it?
People believing fiction pushed forth as fact... and then emotionally reacting to it, instead of thinking about it.
