The majority of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi and funded by the Saudi government, but let's go after Iraq. It was absurd then, and is still absurd to this day that he took us to war with Iraq.

Bingo: So Saddam had some weapons, so does North Korea, Iran, etc. The 9/11 group were mostly Saudi, backed by Bind Laden's group (he was a Saudi) with State sanction in Afghanistan. Taking out Saddam was as stupid as Obama-Clinton taking out Gaddafi and trying to take out Assad in Syria. All it did was create power vacums and allow Terrorist to have free reign.
Gaddafi had stopped sponsoring terrorist, what the heck did taking him out accomplish?

Because we took months to "prepare for the war" they were all moved into the jazira valley in Syria where they have been used multiple times in the Syrian civil war.

If I owned a bar where that man lived, he’d never pay for a drink for the rest of his life.
Bush hates Trump
Clinton hate Trump
No Names hate Trump
Obama’s hate Trump
Romney hates Trump
Biden hates Trump
Not saying Trump is perfect, but when this group of assholes hates you, you are definitely doing something right in my book.

He had chemical weapons. We had people injured over there encountering some of that stuff. It was all kept quiet for some reason.
He had yellowcake too. You don't use that to mix with Quikrete. But they were nowhere near having a nuke that I know of.

Totally justifies the war!

I will openly admit, even IRL, that I errantly supported the Iraq war at its outset.
I was wrong.
On the bright side, that experience has been formative for me.
In 2000, it would have been accurate to call me a Republican.
In 2021, I'm simply someone who votes Republican due to no other real option being given.
That may not seem much different but it is. Our entire government is out of fricking control and that includes a lot of things Republicans of 1990 used to think of as Patriotic entities

frick that guy. He never saw actual combat and basically did nothing during his military service. He is a disgrace to anyone that lost their life over there.

If you want something really mind blowing, look up how Pakistan essentially runs our foreign policy in the ME.
Guess what border in Afghanistan we weren’t allowed to invade from?

look saddam was a sponsor of terror also. i have posted links galore to his ties to hamas. you take them out and get out not nation build or bring democracy to barbarians. we did not finish the taliban like saddam and if you want to take out state sponsors of terror take them all out like iran and syria while at it.

No there wasn’t. Bush even admits that in his book Decision Points.
Yes, there were WMDs. It’s been pushed so much in the media that it was a lie and people now believe the lie.

I remember the stories covered here of russian spetsnaz troops and russian planes loading the bad stuff and flying it out to Syria under cover of night
the yellow cake scandal with valerie plame was used to smear Bush

I've never understood this argument. I'm not saying Saudi is innocent, but bin Laden was exiled from Saudi...like disavowed, a laughing stock. He fled to Sudan so they couldn't find him. He was also privately wealthy, meaning he didn't need saudi money.
So besides being born there and being despised, explain the connection for me?
At no point in history did bin Laden have the support of the Saudi government

90% of people here probably called anyone who opposed the Iraq War a traitor back in 2002. Remember when draft-dodging Saxby Chambliss accused Max Cleland, a decorated Vietnam Veteran, of being an Al Qaeda sympathizer? I do. Rich how they pretend in 2021 how the neocons are bad now.

The media lied, and the Admin hyped up the threat of attacks after 9-11.
Can't say I blame them, for the time when things were chaotic after the attacks.
I DO blame the policy of going into Iraq and Afghanistan, trying to rebuild those nations, when it wasn't anywhere our business to do so. 3-5 years, tops, is all we should have stayed there, with the possible exception of keeping Bagram airbase. Not 20 fricking years though. That was excessive by any measure.

Max Cleland voted for the Iraq War.
He was also a scumbag.
Odd person to white knight for.
