Cloud9's point is relevant and on target. One of the reasons we have gotten so much flack from the world and even within our own Nation is that we never proved Bush's implication that 9/11 has something to do with Iraq.
Legally we are saying that Iraq is in breach of its UN obligation to Disarm, hence our invasion.
true
As part of the background argument we are claiming that Saddam supports terroristis, terrorists blew up the Towers, therefore Saddam and 9/11 . . ..
Tenous.b
We are also saying that Saddam has weapons of Mass destruction like nerve agents etc.
Probably true.
We are then extrapolating that: Terrorists want to hurt us. Terrorists have hurt us. Saddam supports the terrorists that hurt us. Saddam will give them weapons of mass destruction (nerve agents) etc. to hurt us.
Very tenous
He has had 12 years since the Gulf War to do so . . .
I really don't have a problem with dismantling Iraq. I am more of an "us against them" person that right or wrong, but I don't like having my dick stroked like the add campaign has done.
Also, aren't we more worried about his nerve gas etc now? If I were a despot with no other goal but maintaining my life and my rule over Iraq, when the final push came I would have no problem unleashing Gas on the opposing Army, or better yet, the Civilian population in its home country.
Nerve gas hidden in any major US city could kill a lot of people.
Anyway Ktsnake, that is all people like Cloud9 are really saying. The link between 9/11 and Iraq was never shown and 9/11 is the real reason we are invading Iraq.

Basically what I meant is that there are other countries that at this time posses weapons of mass destruction. My question is how many of them have we tried to disarm?
Also, the terrorist argument is tired, I've said it a billion times: Saudi Arabia is on "good terms" with the US, and we know for a fact the 9/11 terrorists were mostly Saudis.
