US Troops execute civilian women and children, blow up house, burn cars, kill pets

Yet there was no commentary, Just a straight news story, no Bush killing babies, or anything of the sort.

Didn't have to be. Just look at the poster, and his history of rantings, and his story, however true, or untrue, it turns out to be, has no credibility.
 
No.

That's not cool. Having pecking parties because someone has, or may or may not speak in a thread. Trashing a fairly decent thread from a really decent news source just because of who posted it. Not cool.

I know it's fun and all, the whole mob mentality thingie, but it's just not cool.

anybody who thinks there was a SUBSTANTIAL relationship between iraq and bin laden and co. prior to the US invasion needs to go visit the local community college and take a course called Middle East 101.

saddam - old school ba'athist and socialist. no strong connections to islam. favors a secular state. not even considered a muslim by many.

bin laden et al. - islamist wanker. possibly also a scientologist. plooker extraordinaire.

more than anything the two were rivals.

Sorry, but that's what happens when a person becomes rabidly opposed to [fill in the blank] . Happens to me, too, but I don't get bothered by the fuss.

No, not really.

It's been 3+ years & never once has the President uttered words to the effect that Iraq & 9/11 had anything more in relatiuon than terrorism.

What's the Other One going on about then?
 
Re: US Troops execute civilian women and children, blow up house, burn cars, kill pet

I didn't bring up Bush. :confuse3:
A couple of posters here brought up 9/11, though.

And Gonz, perhaps Bush didn't, but his Secretary of Defense sure did.

Rummy is the boss? For that matter, refresh my memory please.
 
Re: US Troops execute civilian women and children, blow up house, burn cars, kill pet

There's no link. Oh, yes there is. Oh, maybe not. Um, what am I supposed to be saying here?

Vice-President Dick Cheney regularly goes further and talks of Saddam Hussein having provided safe harbour and sanctuary for al-Qaeda

is Cheney closer to being boss?

Again, I was not making reference to any of your administration in my post questioning Iraq/Bin Laden. I was referring to member posts here.

cause it's all a CYA just in case load anyway.
 
Re: US Troops execute civilian women and children, blow up house, burn cars, kill pet

A relationship between Al Qaeda & Iraq is not saying Iraq was involved with 9/11.

Iraq was a supporter of terrorism, plain & simple.
 
Re: US Troops execute civilian women and children, blow up house, burn cars, kill pet

Now that that's cleared up, we can maybe hear why 9/11 was brought up in the thread?
 
Re: US Troops execute civilian women and children, blow up house, burn cars, kill pet

I don't know...you brought it up.
 
Re: US Troops execute civilian women and children, blow up house, burn cars, kill pet

SnP and TOO brought it up.

TOO said to the blind man can't you see? And I said no. I can't. Then you said, Bush never said so. And I said, yeah, but his people did, but that's not my point, and you said no they didn't, and I said, y-uh-huh, and then you said no they said something else, and I said ok, that's cleared up, even though I had just finished reading
In late 2001, Cheney said it was "pretty well confirmed" that Sept. 11 mastermind Mohamed Atta met with a senior Iraqi intelligence official before the attacks, in April 2000 in Prague; Cheney later said the meeting could not be proved or disproved.
Bush, in his speech aboard an aircraft carrier on May 1, 2003, asserted: "The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We've removed an ally of al Qaeda and cut off a source of terrorist funding."

In September, Cheney said on NBC's "Meet the Press": "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."

Speaking about Iraq's alleged links to al Qaeda and the Sept. 11 attacks, Cheney connected Iraq to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing by saying that newly found Iraqi intelligence files in Baghdad showed that a participant in the bombing returned to Iraq and "probably also received financing from the Iraqi government as well as safe haven." He added: "The Iraqi government or the Iraqi intelligence service had a relationship with al Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the '90s."

Shortly after Cheney asserted these links, Bush contradicted him, saying: "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the September 11th." But Bush added: "There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al Qaeda ties."
