I don't know about most of you but ever since the emergence of the Downing St memos I have been trying to figure out the significance ...especially considering the event of 9-11. This means that not only did the President have a pre-concieved notion to get us involved but 9-11 seemed to play a big part in convincing us it was necessary...all that was needed now was evidence...easy enough right? If Iraq was so bad then no doubt we'll find those WMD's...right? Wrong!

So ask yourself this...Why didn't Bush take 9-11 seriously? He seemed awfully anxious to get involved in a war with a country that was NOT a direct threat concerning the 9-11 attacks. Right? Well if Al Queda was a credible threat then why attack a country where there is NO Al Queda? There was never any contact by Saddam and Ben Laden. If there was then ECHELON would have it for sure.

Seems we never heard of Ben after the Pentagon faked his video, claiming it was him, but proved to be a forgery. He pops up during the US Presidential election in time to remind us of what...vote for Bush? I am having serious doubts as to his existence and I don't think that Bush was ever worried about Al Queda...but he sure has changed our country hasn't he? For better or worse I guess is a matter of opinion.

heh the downing street memo....you mean the one where the journalist kept the photocopy and destroyed the original?

the one that only 'proves' that after 9/11 invading Iraq was put on the agenda bcause of the percieved threat associated with it?

Ha bathory...think about it this way...what are we doing in a country we had to lie to go to war with right after we just got attacked by so called "islamic terrorists" ? Does that make sense to you? It doesn't to me. If I am "supposedly attacked by dummy number one...then why would I make up a lie to attack dummy number two? I guess thats some Texan/ Bushian fuzzy logic? Try again plz...lol

you assume that they lied, there is no definitive proof of this. Going into Iraq in light of what was known just after 9/11 made sense

What makes sense to some, does not make sense to others
The governments decided to invade Iraq, it was good for business.
The invasion was pre-conceived and we were unprepared. Dang, if they want to 'know' how to go to war, they should have 'thought' it out better. Anyone with reading capabilities can read between the lines . I hope that 'they' are punished for what 'they' have started. Poor innocent people, believe in the POWER OF LOVE. Something most ploiticans NEVER talk about.
