  You eed to pay attention

  Xrandadu Hutman:

  "Your point being what? And what does 9/11 have to do with Iraq again?"

  Bin Laden in 1997 said he would send Clinton "messages with no words" in response to Clinton's policies vis-a-vis Iraq. That declaration was followed by the bombing of our embassies in Africa in August 1998, the bombing of the USS Cole in October 2000, and 9/11. It appears that Iraq was bin Laden's main "justification" for those messages with no words. Or do you think by "messages with no words" bin Laden meant he would blow kisses to Clinton?

  "Or that you can't be bothered to confront reality if it doesn't make you feel good about your political leaning?"

  I provided sources to confirm the reality. All you moonbats have is invective.

  "While you were doing your research, what did you learn about how Saddam Hussein came into power to begin with?"

  I believe he came to power when Carter was president.

  "What did you learn about how he came into possession of WMD, and what the U.S.'s response was to his use of it?"

  I've heard moonbats claim that we gave Saddam his WMD, but the record does not support that claim.

  "What did you learn about Clinton's policy of containment, which, although flawed, proved to be 1,000 times preferable to Bush's policy of invasion and occupation?"

  Actually, Clinton's top expert on Iraq, Kenneth Pollack, argued in "The Threatening Storm" that containment, while more successful in the past than expected, was beginning to fail by 2002. I assume, like most moonbats, you have never read that book.
