Iraq was never a threat to the U.S., despite Bush*s ridiculous contentions that they were complicit in 9/11 and had ties to al-Qaeda. Because no one called him on this, he got away with actually saying they were responsible and the majority of the American public probably believes this.:grr:

The fact that 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi and that the U.S. had the intelligence that the Saudi royal family has supported Islamic charities which funded al-Qaeda is never mentioned. They are BFEE buddies in big oil and not even included in his ``axis of evil.'' I am glad that this last is finally being publicized because of the censored 9/11 report, but this story may come to nothing, like so many others.:shrug:

Yes, containment was working, and it not only cost the American taxpayers much less in dollars, but also did not result in the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers and thousands of Iraqi citizens.;(
