Dumbest argument ever posed, because it is useless. We all know and knew that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Now, the reason Iraq is important to the war on terror is because Saddam has MANY ties with Al Qaeda and Palestinian terrorists.
1. Saddam gave $500,000 US to a man by the name of Al-Zawahiri, at a time when he was a founding member of Al Qaeda, and bin laden's right hand man.
2. It is a known fact that before the removal of Saddam, he paid $30,000 to many families of Palestinian terrorists who killed more than 10 israelis.
3. Saddam supplied small arms and plastic explosives to Taliban fighters who fled from Afghanistan during the American liberation.
The 9-11 commission said "Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11", and every dem in the place goes nuts! But as I remember, bush always said that Iraq had connections with Al-Qaeda, but I dont recall ever hearing him say connections with 9/11.
Its a major misquoting by the dems, and if I am wrong, please correct and I'll shut up forever.
