> No. The point was that Iraq was “somehow” responsible for 9/11 which is why we went there in the first place rather than going after Osama. That still baffles me to this day why they did not bring him to justice.

the only people I saw saying that, were the ones who also said we are there for oil. It was never their (the government) position that Saddam was responsible for 9/11

We went after Saddam for not letting UN weapons inspectors in to do their job. Saddam really put the final nail in his coffin. Granted, like TramaDog said, hindsite is always 20/20. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea (or didn’t turn out the way it was planned) but after 9/11, they saw Iraq as a possible threat and acted on it. Shit, the Democrats and Republicans BOTH were in favor of going in.
