For some reason people still think that iraq/iraqis were involved in 9/11. Something that disturbed me was a girl said something to the effect of "iraqis killed americans on 9/11 so our troops are there to kill them." (not exact quote but the jist). no matter what your feelings are on the war we should make sure people know the facts. now i have not read anything saying iraqis were involved so please... make sure other people to claim they were are told the truth.

  • Is this post really necessary? You heard some idiot girl say that when? I think people around here are past that issue Iraq had no direct connection to 9/11. Yes we get it, I haven't heard anyone around here argue that for awhile. So, why bring it up again?

    i've heard idiots saying that recently. there are loads of people who still buy that shit. it might not be so much of an issue on the board, but we can vent here if we choose to, right?

    More accurately, the Bush Administration is killing Americans in Iraq.

    Yea, your forgiven. It's barely related to the topic, but very real.

    Bush sends Americans over there to get blowed up for his sick personal satisfaction.

    Wow that is a really stupid statement. Maybe we need to stop the ignorance on that issue as well.

    I'll give it a shot.

    So, I was talking to this guy I work with, his name is Michael and he is a biology major with a degree in automotive engineering. He tells me he doesn't really have a passion for biology, which makes it difficult for him to chew through it. But his family is a long line of academics and he feels he has to get 5 or 6 degrees just to live up to his family name.

    Bush Sr. had a deal with Iraq and wanted to topple Saddam. His son wanted to do what his dad couldn't and carry on the family legacy. So he made shit up to send American soldiers over there to get Saddam. It's for his own satisfaction. It's certainly not helping Iraqi people or American people. Part of the Nazish motivation was to create the myth indirectly that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, by using 9/11 as an excuse to go into Iraq.

    Great theory, but it's based on what? You spoke to Michael, but did you have a sit down with W, and come to your conclusion after that?

    Uhh, no. You have a good point there. Do you have an alternative theory?

    Why do you think Bush went to war with Iraq knowing that the evidence he had was flawed. If he didn't know, who did? The director of the FBI knew about it. Why were there so many unfounded claims about Iraq. Why did this happen in the wake of 9/11? The actual reasons used by the Bush Administration had nothing to do with 9/11. Collin Powell amongst others urged against wars in Iraq and Afghanistan simultaneously. Why the sudden need and desire to march into Iraq?

    It's just what people do when they are left in control of the world's most powerful army. Bush wanted to push the button on a bad guy, and so he did. Meanwhile, a whole new source of oil will eventually be brought to the market. He probably expected that oil to be available sooner. I don't think anyone had planned for the insurgency to reach the magnitude that it has.

    trying to overthrow saddam to make up for daddies failure is a far cry from sending people over there to get blown up for someones sick personal satisfaction.

    You'd think so, wouldn't you. But no. Actually, the Polar Bears are melting all the ice caps. Bloody Polar Bears.

    The North American media thrives on preaching ignorance and fear. The 'facts' do not always make 'good' news stories.
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    i don't think it's personal satisfaction or making up for daddies failure...i think it's more of control of one of the biggest oil reserves in the world. pnac mentioned control of iraq, it's resources and the region back in 2000.

    I agree, i don't think it's either but it seemed that Ahnimus did; i was going to be surprised if anyone actually thought Bush sent the troops over to die for his own sick pleasure.

    I def think the resources played a part in the war. Esp, with the PNAC connection. Esp a resource like oil that goes into a ton of things we consume in America and Europe. But I won't say that it was strictly for oil

    It was probably for both. I think Bush Sr. had an influence on things.

    None of that even matters anymore. What matters now is not turning our backs when the country is in chaos.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Actually, depending on how you are defining 'iraqis' being involved, they were. Muhammed Atha, the lead suicidal fuck, was an Iraqi. Now, did they support it as a cause, they being Iraq, that is another question. I'm sorry, did you want to go that deep?

    no he wasn't

    Atta was born on September 1, 1968 in Kafr el Sheikh, a city in the Nile Delta in Egypt,[1] and also carried a Saudi passport. He grew up in a strict family in Giza, a suburb of Cairo, Egypt[1]. Atta's father wished his children to be all well-educated. Since he was a child, Atta spent most of his time staying home and studying. He had an excellent performance on his study and graduated with a degree in architecture from Cairo University. He was apparently not particularly religious during this period.

    Atta then moved to Germany, where he was registered as a student of urban planning at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg in Hamburg from 1993 to 1999. Th

    Wasn't Atta in FBI custody prior to 9/11 and weren't the funds coming from the Pakistani Intelligence?

    and that makes him an iraqi for being suspected of living in the country for a few months.....? if you're refering to the talk of him meeting w/ iraqi intel or military that was debunked by the fbi who had him under surveilance in the us at the times of the supposed meeting

    if i move to canada for a few months does that make me canadian? no

    do you have anything stating he lived in iraq?
