That still does not address the lies about a connection to 9/11 and WMD's. You are fixing the facts after the fact just like a good lapdog. | Saddam was connected to 9/11 in the same way that Hitler was connected to Pearl Harbor. The idea that Osama bin Laden and Al-qaida (which means the "the base") are the only Islamic militant threats to the West is naive. Saddam gave gifts to the families of palestinian suicide bombers, who knows who else he gave money to. | That's idiotic. Al-Qaeda is a religious extremist group. Saddams regime was a secular one. Osama disliked Saddam's regime more than any other in the region. Because Saddam wasn't a practicing Muslim. There was no connection at all other than in the heads of the propaganda writers and the idiots dumb enough to buy it. | Saddam's government was secular, but he funded religious organizations which supported his causes. It's not true that OBL disliked Iraq more than any other ME regime. He hates the Saudi royal family most of all because they allowed us in during the Gulf War. He had offered his mujahideen to fight, but the royal family rejected him, and later revoked his citizenship. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ~Edmund Burke |
