"Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks of 9/11..."
We need to keep saying that until it sinks into the deep skulls of the Bush worshipers. They never seem to grasp that important fact. We were attacked by Osama bin Laden and the al Qaeda - not Saddam Hussein and the Sunnis. We left the battle against bin Laden in Afghanistan and invaded Iraq. Our country invaded Iraq on a mountain of lies. The CIA, contrary to what the White House says, told them there was no proof of WMDs in Iraq. Even today, the White House continues to lie about this, when they say "everyone" thought Iraq had WMDs, when not even our own CIA thought so.

2. I do it all the time and I agree with you!
Whenever somebody says "Get real people we were attacked!" I respond with this phrase, written or verbal -

"Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Why did we pull our Special Forces out of Afghanistan? Where is Osama bin Laden."

Haven't had a response yet. They go to radio silence.

4. Plus, Colin Powell used forged documents to sell it.

"It was the information that we had. We provided it. If that information is inaccurate, fine," Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press"

6. Not only did Iraq not have anything to do with the attacks of 9/11...
...but by deposing Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi Baath Party, we stupidly took out the worst regional enemy of the group that DID attack us on 9/11.

IDIOTS. Idiots. idiots. :eyes:

9. For the hardcore 20-30% of bush worshipers, it is too late..........
THEY can NEVER be deprogrammed as long as fox news and the WH keep serving the propaganda kool-aid.

12. I just had a conversation with my thirteen year old granddaughter
about that very thing. She was telling me how necessary it was that we were over there fighting so they would not come over here and kill us. She informed me what she knows about the war was learned in school. When I told her Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 she said that her teacher had told her differently. She has a very hard time distinguishing between Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, or any of the other countries in between. It is all just "over there" to her. After our conversation she was quite confused because I was telling her there was indeed a difference. She is a straight A student as well.. I was truly shocked with her lack of geographical knowledge..

13. I'd request a conference with the teacher.
And ask her/him where they got this false information and why are they spreading lies to impressionable young students.
And then try to keep your self from strangling her/him.
That teacher should be fired for that!
