Good.
Wrong.
It was coroborated by British, American, and Russian intelligence among other sources.
Then I'm sure you can present the evidence that these intelligence sources found. Go ahead, by all means. Oh wait- you can't? Let me guess- it's a secret!
We know that Saddam had plotted to assassinated George H W Bush
LOL- so fucking what? The same way Bush 41 tried to kill Saddam? Clinton already retaliated for that when it happened, at least he had the fucking sense not to treat it as casus belli for war, invasion and occupaiton.
and that he provided monetary support for terrorist groups in Israel.
Ah yes, the widows and orphans fund Degan has already belittled. That's the best you can do? Perhaps you can also inform us when the fuck Israel became the 51st State of the Union, and why you think American soldiers should die for Israel.
I have provided "evidence" (see above, see the links in previous posts). Sorry if I can't produce pictures of Saddam at Osama's birthday party or on a hunting trip with Al Zarqawi. I guess thats what it would take to be "compelling" for you.
Nice strawman, fuckwit. If you can't provide the evidence, STFU.
No it doesn't. No more than the person who talks the most or the loudest makes them the smartest person. Yes I'm referring to you
Nice false analogy retard- you have continuously pretended that the emphasis on WMD was unjustfied because the media didnt' divine from tea leaves or some such that it wasn't the 'true' reason, even though that's what was flogged the most before the war began, overwhelmingly. Well excuse everyone for hanging them by their own petard of falsehoods.
On the basis of the points I stated. We were not going to risk the chance of Saddam using his substantial finances to finally strike back at the U.S.
Ah, so that would be no real basis. Gotcha.
Well, I've been there and done that myself. I HAVE read it all before, presented much more eloquently. I've not been convinced by bit of it. Its the same tired line of bullshit lies that was presented in Fahrenheit 9/11.
Actually it's got nothing do with Fahrenheit 9/11, which I have seen and makes virtually none of those points. Too bad you're too much of a fuckwit to read it before saying something so stupid as above. That you have the gall to talk about "not being convinced" when you've presented no compelling evidence of any kind and when governemnt investigation after investigation has held up all the pre-war rationales to hold no water really takes the cake.
Bush never connected 9/11 and Iraq.
Yes, he did. Degan's quotes make that quite clear. You know, the ones you didn't read.
He connected Al Qaeda and Iraq. And it is generally conceded that there was communication between the groups.
And NO OPERATIONAL TIES.
Exactly how much communication is up for debate.
No, it isn't. The commission has already made its finding in that regard. Reality once again interferes, I'm afraid.
And again, it is irrelevant because "Al Qaeda" isn't the only terrorist group out there.
Yeah, gotta stop those evil Palestinian widows and orphan funds from blowing up Israelis, that's America's job after all.
