She trusts commanders in the field

Posted: Tuesday, July 31, 2007
I would believe the commanders in the field before I would believe these power-hungry politicians and the news media that have been against the war from the beginning.

" Once again a neocon turning a valid proven point in a different direction and trying to blame someone else. I simply answered the quesion that shows President Bush did say their was a link between Iraq and 9/11. Was President Clinton wrong? Yeah he was. That just shows how poor our intelligence has been and is probably the most to blame forour problems relating to terrorism. Your generalizing the whole Arab world as terrorist threat just as President Clinton and President Bush have. Attacking Iraq in response to 9/11 would have been like FDR attacking China in response to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The American people want to get the terrorist that are responsible for 9/11. There not in Iraq, there in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We're fighting the right war in the wrong place. "

" On February 17, 1998, President Clinton, speaking at the Pentagon, warned of the "reckless acts of outlaw nations and an unholy axis of terrorists, drug traffickers and organized international criminals." These "predators of the twenty-first century," he said, these enemies of America, "will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein's Iraq." Was he lying too? "

" The Clinton Justice Department issued an indictment to Bin-Laden on November 6, 1998 which included...."Additionally, the indictment states that Al Qaeda reached an agreement with Iraq not to work against the regime of Saddam Hussein and that they would work cooperatively with Iraq, particularly in weapons development." "

" That's a weak claim that Bush claimed Saddam was responsible for 9/11. After 9/11, we realized we couldn't allow terrorists and terror supporting countries to thrive, and thus targeted Saddam Hussein's government for his long past of being the worst terror supporting regime on earth. He won't be again, and neither will Iraq if we do the job right. "

" Your way wrong Larryj. The Bush administration has continually said that Iraq had connections to 9/11. If you do a little research and google "Iraq connections to 9/11 President Bush" you will find hundreds of quotes from credible sources in which Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice all say that Iraq was involved in 9/11. In President Bush's letter to Congress on March 21, 2003 it states "The use of armed forces against Iraq is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations or person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001."
