Why are you so compelled to shut your eyes to the fact that Atta and other Al-Queda operatives are partially funded by Iraq?
Why are you trying to see something that isn't there? Why are you trying to stretch so hard to make a link where there is none. Al Queda wasn't financed even partially by Iraq. The fact that a member of Al Queda happened to visit Iraq doesn't in any way mean the attack in America was funded by Iraq.

Quote:
Why is it so hard to believe?
Because it's false. Iraq and Al Queda expressed a vocal hatred of each other for decades. They were not allies no matter how many straws you grasp at, it won't change the fact that Iraq has no connection with Al Queda other than a mutual hatred..

We have financial links, we have intelligence links, and lord knows what all links that the media doesn't know about that heads of state do.
Wrong, there are no financial links or links of any other kind. There is more to suggest that America had a connection with the Al Queda terrorists than Iraq. Not one shred of evidence has been given to link Iraq to September 11th. Not one. Not one WMD has been found. NOT ONE. And even if they were found, it wouldn't make a difference because America and the UN have no authority to tell them they can't have them.

Saddam Hussein is a compulsive liar,
No more so than George W. Bush who KNOWINGLY lied to the American people about Iraq posing a threat to get support for his unconstitutional and unprovoked attack of terrorist aggression against IRaq.

Quote:
and his regime lied and murdered and committed acts of atrocity
Which is completely irrelevant. It wouldn't matter if Saddam boiled an Iraqi baby in oil and ate them for dinner every night. It still wouldn't grant the US or the UN the authority to intervene. And Saddam is no more or less a murderer than George W. Bush. Every single person who died as a result of the war that George W. Bush alone started in Iraq is on his head. Every single American, British, Italian, and other "coalition" troop, and every single Iraqi person who was defending their country or who has attacked troops since they invaded is a murder by George W. Bush.

Quote:
What makes you think he'd NOT fund terrorists?
He DID fund terrorists, but none that attacked America and not one speck of evidence suggest otherwise. Not even a lame report about a secret note Saddam wrote. And you don't attack first and look for evidence to justify your attack afterwards. That's like a cop arresting you and then searching your apartment for a reason to justify the arrest.

The burden of proof rests on the shoulders of George W. Bush and he has failed to provide any evidence that Iraq ever posed a threat to America. And even if he finds something like the piece of crap you're using to grasp at straws, he must show that he had this information BEFORE he attacked.

It's logical to assume that it makes you look like a moron.
I'll have to defer to your many years of experience in looking like a moron. Surely by now you must be an expert.
