Freeper's explanation of Iraq and 9/11 connection - UNBELIEVABLY STUPID!
>Easy, it was explained dozens of times. Iraq's connection to 9/11 was that
>9/11 caused a re-think concerning continuing threats facing the US. After
>9/11 there was one power that had been at war with the US and the UN, had
>continued to fire at US/UK aircraft nearly every day, was breaking the
>cease-fire and a dozen UNSCRs, was harboring numerous terrorists and
>terrorists organizations, had an intelligence network that had attempted to
>kill a US president and killed numerous critics overseas, and that had to
>change. It's called connecting the dots and reaching a conclusion. The
>same people that were screaming "why didn't they connect the dots" after
>Sept 11, have spent every day since trying to prevent the US from collecting
>the dots, telling the terrorists what dots we are looking for, and
>alternating between saying Iran is a bigger threat and Iran is no threat.
>
>Iraq wasn't about "an imminent threat" and it wasn't sold as "being a day at
>the beach." Both were specifically warned were not the case. These two
>canards are post hoc strawmen commie-libs began using before Saddam was even
>captured.
>
>You can stop pretending you would support America if someone else was in
>charge.
>
>You didn't sprain your ankle dancing in the streets after Sept 11 did you?

4. But Condi told me that we couldn't wait for the mushroom cloud!

You mean to tell me that Saddam wasn't really going to nuke me after all? I just misheard her?

And of course Dubya has always said that President-in' was hard work!

5. Oh, now I understand.
And I suppose that if we'd just nuke the entire Muslim world, we could eliminate all those dots that fella's connecting. Lets see, our foreign policy should be: You're either with us or we'll kill you and rape your women.

I didn't sprain my ankle after 9/11, but I'll bet he suffered brain damage as a child.

6. It's logically incoherent, but this is indeed the BushCo case
as presented to the true believers. This is fear and gut reaction.
9/11 showed that America is vulnerable. America must neutralize all
threats. Be afraid!

Articulated more clearly by the neocons, a Middle East that lets bad things
happen must be changed. The Middle East can be reformed with brute force.

7. Bald-faced lies:
Iraq wasn't about "an imminent threat" and it wasn't sold as "being a day at
>the beach."
