Cheney Says There Was No Iraq Link to 9/11 Attacks

Wrong Very Wrong do any of you really no what a ****ing WMD is huh please tell me if you can. Also any of you care to listen to someone who was actually on the ground and in many of these site looking for Weapons, also the real reason we went into Iraq was because now follow with me folks "SADDAM WAS IN VIOLATION OF THE GULF WAR CEASE FIRE AND WOULDN'T LET US WEAPON INSPECTORS DO ARE JOBS"

Hey Dog maybe you should explain to folks what I used to do for a living since we had a very good discussion on this topic over on that "Other Forum"


Simply put they don't give a damn about you unless your dead.

If you're dead they can use you because you can't speak..if your alive they have no desire to hear or have you heard.

Only good US soldier to these people come in a black bag with a zipper...
 
If Saddam was in violation of the UNSCR's then the Security Council are the only ones to authorize any use of force, which simply did not happen. The US took the alleged 'enforcement' into their own hands.

The US violated UNSCR 687 as well as the UN Charter.

Exactly, under major protest from U.N. member nations.

Jesus H. Freaking Christ. Do you realize what you are accusing people of? This is way over the top.

You are a grade A ****ing douche bag.
 
Cheney's rehetoric..

Iraq = 9-11 = Saddam = Al Quaeda = Mushroom cloud in US within 40 mins.
 
also the real reason we went into Iraq was because now follow with me folks "SADDAM WAS IN VIOLATION OF THE GULF WAR CEASE FIRE AND WOULDN'T LET US WEAPON INSPECTORS DO ARE JOBS"
That was the real reason? Are you sure about that?

Hans Blix said:
Inspections in Iraq resumed on the 27th of November 2002. In matters relating to process, notably prompt access to sites, we have faced relatively few difficulties, and certainly much less than those that were faced by UNSCOM [U.N. Special Commission] in the period 1991 to 1998. This may well be due to the strong outside pressure.

CNN.com - Transcript of Blix's U.N. presentation - Mar. 7, 2003
UN inspectors were freely inspecting Iraq for 4 months before the Iraq invasion began. The last person to boot the UN inspectors out of Iraq was George W. Bush, not Sadaam Hussein.

On topic, I think Cheney played up the Iraq-al'Qaeda link at every opportunity. Statements like this:

Dick Cheney said:
If we're successful in Iraq . . . then we will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11.

...are why 70% of Americans believed Hussein was involved in 9/11 when we invaded Iraq, and why 1/3 of Americans still believed it as of 2007.
 
Jesus H. Freaking Christ. Do you realize what you are accusing people of? This is way over the top.

Yes I do.
You made your beds..now sleep in them.


You want me to be nice to **** who betrays my nations soldiers?, ****s on my nation?, rewrites history to suite their lies?, advocates abandoning civilians to al Qaeda?


Go to hell.

And you wonder why the Republican party is dying? You just provided that answer in your own words, which the vast majority of Americans regard as nothing but hate speech.
 
9-11 = Al Queada = Saddam = WMD = Mushroom cloud in US within 40 mins.

That's more like it.

Its still random

Its nothing more than trolling if you ask me.

How does one troll their own troll thread?

Are you suggesting that Cheney did not try to make those exact connections in reguards to lying and fearmongering America in to Bush's war in Iraq?

Wow. Have you actually read the resolution? Because, really, what you just said is not in the least bit true.

It is true that the administration focused on Iraq's alleged WMD's and Iraq's desire to restrict WMD inspections... But the resolution voted on by congree alleged many other items including the repression of the citizens of Iraq and the stability of the Middle East.

But, don't let facts get in the way of a good argument.

So, post links to your 'facts' and we'll see what's what.

Careful review of the facts often reveals the truth.;)

Don't forget to include the state of the union prior to the invasion and the speech Bush gave to the nation on the eve of the invasion. Because that's when he told Americans the reasons we were going to war.

Yes, as the war dragged on, these reasons seemed to magically change in speeches and statements from the WH. Go back an count the times WMD's were mentioned and you'll have a pretty accurate understanding of what we were told.

Remember the Orwell book Animal Farm when the pigs kept changing the rules as they went along.
 
Just today Cheney saw the need to throw George Tenet under the bus for not giving him correct information. Forgetting I guess that it is his responsiblilty to verify such information before acting on it in the name of America.

Just as Cheney is yet again throwing our soldiers under the bus for being "rogue soldiers" and not acting within the boundries of the Bush administrations endorsments of EIT's.

Not to suprising that not many in the military is coming to Dick's defense.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Not to be diggin' up any bones, but I remember the propaganda build-up and the way they played the nation with their cherry-picked, manipulative truths and half truths, all cut and pasted together to get support for their Iraqi agenda. That was the Bush plan from Day 1, I believe. 9/11 just got in his way. The trick, to get back on course to the original plan to F'up Iraq was to somehow tie 9/11 and Iraq, hip-to-hip, in the minds of Americans. And that they did. All the way from the Congress-person to Joe Sh** the Rag Man.

Everytime myself, or anybody stood up to point it out, we were outshouted, insulted, called everything in the book from traitor's to homo-lovin' liberals.

Now 8 years later, most everybody has finally gotten a clue. Surprise, surprise. :roll: I suppose it's too late for a "neener-neener." :cool:

Rather than 911 getting in the way of Bush's plans, I believe it helped them greatly. In Cheney's paper, Restoring America's Defenses, he wrote that doing a makeover in the Middle East would be impossible without a new "Pearl Harbor". Bush also knew what 911 would mean for his Middle East plans, and remarked after the attacks "I just hit the trifecta".

Ya know Dana, that's the first I heard of this.

I ain't defending Bush here, but I find it hard to believe that even Bush would say something THAT stupid.

But then again..... :3oops:

Yea, that never happened.

edit: Context is king:

The President favors conditions of budgetary balance, and -- particularly looking ahead to the unfunded liabilities of our nation -- surplus, and the reduction of outstanding national debt against the day when those bills come due, and has been pursuing a balanced fiscal policy that included tax reduction for long-term growth, debt reduction, and moderate spending growth to make those first two objectives possible.

He had always listed, throughout his campaign and since, the reasons why the nation might depart from this policy, reasons he had given as acceptable for running fiscal deficits: for war, recession, or emergency. As he said to me in mid-September, "Lucky me. I hit the trifecta."
