So the whole response to the African embassy bombings doesn't count? It's just "taking a break?" Newsflash: that happened months after Clinton launched the missiles. The missiles hit a camp that Bin Laden was supposed to be in. He left hours before the strikes. And children, let's go to the definition of "Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs)." WMDs are what we went into Iraq for. Nukes fall under WMDs, but they are not the only type - that's just a convienent thing for Bush-bashers to forget about. Two out of three were found. Try back next time. Saddam had no connection to Bin Laden. He did, however, allow a little group called Ansar al-Islam into the country in 2002, months after the US invasion of Afghanistan. The group was on the US's list of terrorist groups and was headed by our late friend al-Zarqawi (spelling?). This little group possessed chemical and biological weapons supplied by the Iraqi government. We know this because their camp in northern Iraq, near the Iranian border, was raided a few days into the invasion. All/most of their manuals, weapons, and other things associated with the chemical/biological weapons (NBC suits, vaccines, memos from the Iraqis concerning the weapons etc.) were found there. Our buddies from Ansar al-Islam hopped the border to Iran when the camp was raided, to be observed being met by apparant Iranian officials (had military uniforms on) through binoculars. The US/Kurds couldn't shoot at them once they crossed, so most got away clean. Do you know the reason why the US doesn't go after Israel, Machaivelli? Simply that they haven't done anything wrong in the US government's eyes. The US considers self-defense a right. That covers their nukes and their responses to Palestinian attacks (don't get started on this long list of "attrocities" - I can name more than you'll ever be able to name coming from the Arab side). If they were to start screaming "DEATH TO ARABS! DEATH TO IRAN! WE WILL WIPE THE ARAB WORLD OFF THE MAP!" like certain other people, then the situation would change since they would then have an intent to wage wars of aggression and be put on the US's naughty list that year.
Wait, wait...now I know you don't like Israel' s so-called counter-terrorism policy, but 9/11 is not solely on the basis of Israel' s strife with the Islamic community. Yes, Israeli forces are out of jurisdiction, but wasn't 9/11 simply an attack by Islamic extremists over an overall Western policy? Israel only plays a major role, we still need to blockeduate that many right-wing and extreme Muslims hate the US even before the Israel thing was entirely a problem. EDIT: Besides, majority of Israeli extremists are in the Zionist class right? That' s not considered a form of anti-American terrorism. Couldn't just be the main difference between an Israeli terrorist and an Iraqi one?
Get your facts right, please. Everything bad that happens in this world is now the result of an evil Western/US/Zionist conspiracy. Please do not attempt to deny this absolute truth. The US never found nukes. It did, however, find chemical/biological weapons (WMDs), the stated reason that the US went into Iraq over. Who is concealing the truth here? Half-truth is still lying, Machaivelli. For the sanity of those of us who are still capable of thinking for ourselves and not repeating the same mindless lines, please do not get started on the Israelis/Palestinians.
