The fact that he turned his back on the victims and families of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, in order to attack a country that had nothing to do with terrorism until he attacked.
Oh, so Afghanistan an dthe Taliban weren't harboring Al Qaeda? There weren't any terror camps there? We didn't send ultimatum after ultimatum with the same message "Turn over Bin Ladin or suffer the consequences"? So they DIDNT refuse our ultimatum?
Yeah the Taliban had NOTHING to do with Terrorism before we attacked. They were like innocent little schoolgirls licking lollies.
Then of course, is terrorism on Iraq, which was the result of him invading a country that had never attacked the US.
No, Sadaam Hussein has always been a supporter of Terror. He attacked our interests on several occasions, and have defied UN resolution after UN resolution. Furthermore, he backed suicide bombing with his money, and has used biological wepaons on his people and committed rape and genocide. The bastard needed to be unseated.
The fact that he has kept the US troops in Iraq way too long for such a cause that he himself has changed and lied about his motives in.
2 years is not a long time. And the amount of soldier death per year is paled by murder, cancer, drug and automotive related deaths. Sure 1,000 people died in the first year, but how many human beings die from other causes each day?
Furtehrmore, he did not lie about his motives, for he himself believes in them.
This in turn has caused the deaths of many, who were lead to believe that they were dying to defend their country, which in fact was never the case with the troops in Iraq.
Caused you say.
yes they WERE fighting for their country. They were fighting to remove a disgusting dictator from power so we could spread democracy in the middle east and make the world a safer place for America.
Now, of course, he has caused many families, both American and Iraqi to lose loved ones, all in the name of his "war," which HE started in the case of Iraq.
Why do you liberals always look to the president for blame?
Why not blame the terrorists for once in your miserable unlives?
They are soldiers who knew what they were getting into when they joined thr army. They were prepared to die.
If he would have truly focesed on tracking down the REAL terrorists, (aka, the ones behing the ACTUAL terrorism on the US), I would have a profound respect for the man, even if he would have failed.
The first ones we went after were the Al Qaeda based in Afghanistan. We crippled them and sent their leader into hiding. We're still searching for BIn Ladin. We've BEEN going after terrorists who attacked us or have threatened us.
Sadaam Hussein WAS a real terrorist and a terror supporting dictator. By the very definition: rule by means of terrorizing people.
well said.
