"The Taliban was not responsible for the actions of Al Queda. The Taliban were attacked because they harbored Al Queda and the Coalition forces had to go through the Taliban to get to Al Queda."
---Uh, yeh they were. They supported and defied US orders to hand over Bin Laden and the terrorists and actually THREATENED to fight us if we went into their country to take out AL-Queda so I dont know where you are coming from. Its not like the Taliban were such great people themselves...
" What the hell kind of logic is that? "it was probable that they had the chance to". Read that over and try and see how ridiculous that sounds. If you were going to attack a country based on a percieved threat, Iran or Korea would be who you would attack before Iraq. They possess a greater military threat than Iraq did. Iraq was NO threat to the US. They were not nuclear capable nor was there any ambition to start a conflict with a country that Sadam knew would kick his ass."
--As i said they supported terrorists like the Taliban did before 9/11. They were asking to get their asses handed to them. And Saddam was crazy and hated us, what if, just before he was about to die, he cooked up a little gas bomb or two for major american cities? Just for a last laugh. Its been done before, more than once.
"Saddam was a threat to the countries around him and his own people, but not the rest of the world. He was actually a stabilizing force in the region due to his stand against fundamentalist Islamic ideals. I would love to see the evidence that you have regarding his support of one terrorist group nevermind three. Because although terrorists did reside in Iraq, I have not seen any credible source link Saddam to known terrorist movements or anything at all to do with 9/11."
------Saddam was by no means a "stabilizing force" in the middle east. he was just as radical as any other extremist leader. He invaded Kuwait, evidence enough to show he had more he wanted than just power in Iraq. Saddam was ruled by his own power and money, and that is just as bad if not worse than being against fundamental muslim beleifs.
Evidence of terror groups in Iraq? Here are some links to follow. I will only post one for each for now but if u want you can go find some more yourself.
AL-Queda:Al-Queada
Mujahadeen
PKK
--there are acutally a lot more than this but these are major ones.
"Actually, the British and Canadians were in Afghanistan before any americans got there. It was also a coalitioin of forces not just the U.S. And Afghanistan was not taken over by the U.S."
---Thats what I meant. And Canada doesnt really count. 🙂
"Well if he didn't say it in public, then it must not have happened, even though multiple sources including american generals and british intelligence said that Bush actually said that he wanted to get into Iraq."
---And an equal number could say otherwise. Why do we always go for the bad news over the good?
"Once again. There is no link between 9/11 and Iraq. None, zip, zero, nada, goose egg."
No duh. I already stated that was not the reason we attacked Iraq. Iraq harbored terrorists though so it is not beyond reason to think that those terrorists could have been in Iraq at one point.
