840 Americans are dead in Iraq. Why did Bush say he invaded Iraq? |
From The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 6/17/04:
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/178134_iraqed.html
Just why was this a just war?
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER EDITORIAL BOARD
Time to ask yet again just why it was we went to war in Iraq.
There was the "liberation" of the Iraqi people, after which, Vice
President ***** Cheney predicted, "the streets in Basra and Baghdad are
sure to erupt in joy ... "
There have been eruptions, all right, few of joy.
There were the weapons of mass destruction and the ongoing programs to
create them, the existence of which Undersecretary of State John
Bolton called "beyond dispute."
None has been found.
There was also the fear that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was among what
President Bush called the "rogue states" that were "clearly the most
likely sources of chemical and biological and nuclear weapons for
terrorists" and that Saddam could "on any given day" pass such weapons
on to al-Qaida or other terrorists.
And with that came the most provocative rationale for many Americans,
that, as Cheney said just Monday, Saddam Hussein "had long-established
ties with al-Qaida" -- and the Bush administration's repeated
suggestion of a link between Iraq and the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
A report released yesterday by the commission investigating 9/11
delivered the blunt assessment that there was "no credible evidence"
that Saddam Hussein had ties with al-Qaida, not to mention the Sept.
11 attacks.
No liberation dances.
No WMD.
No supplying of WMD to terrorists, including al-Qaida.
No link to 9/11.
Why was it we went to war in Iraq?

Time for Cheney to pay Haliburton back for that big bonus when he became
VP.

This excuse was invented AFTER the war began.
It was not a rationale for why the U.S. invaded Iraq.
