Can anyone explain to me why the U.S. invaded Iraq after 9/11? I know the excuse was that there were "weapons of mass destruction" (which was a lie) but what does that have to do with the 9/11 attacks? Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11. Bin Laden and all of the terrorists who allegedly flew the planes were Saudi Arabian so why didn't we invade that country? Also, look up building 7, the third building to fall that many don't know about. What caused that to fall? Seems very sketchy to me. Input would be appreciated.

It was preemptive

The best defense is an aggressive offense.

There was no legitimate reason....the media 'sold' it to the public. The phil Donahue show was #1 on TV at that time. He said on his show 'lets wait a minute and think this invasion thru'.....they cancelled him the next day. The media run up to war was a sales pitch. Sadaam was no threat to the USA.

I remember arguing on this forum that the invasion of Iraq was wrong and stupid, and being beat on by conservatives (some of whom still post here) who were hung-ho on that war.

I've heard a few different theories...

The one Pike mentioned was amongst them... It drew all the scumbags with a chip on their shoulder to Iraq instead of them coming over here.

And small amounts of chemical weapons were found there. Just not in the amounts that justified our presence. I actually remember someone on here posting a link where a newspaper (NYT, maybe?) admitted we had found a few. Of course it was mostly ignored then... W. was long gone.
