[Vision2020] Removing Saddam Increased Al Quada's Power

All:

What a charade!  

If "contacts" between Al Quada and representatives of a nation are a reason to invade and bomb that country into submission, the US would be a target.  The US has had "contacts" with Al Quada.  

Regardless of what the White House is saying now, they deliberately gave the impression to the American people that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, and the American people bought it, with a majority at one point thinking Iraq was linked to 9/11.

But it was known years ago that Bin Laden and his followers disliked Saddam and the form of secularized Islam he represented, in a similar fashion to how much Al Quada disliked Khadafy in Libya.  At one point the British and Al Quada were working together to get Khadafy, the British in part because Khadafy threw out the British and nationalized the oil, and Al Quada because Khadafy was against the purist form of Islam Al Quada promotes.  

It was known long ago that 9/11 was not linked to Saddam's regime.  How many times can people overlook the fact that 15 of the 19 9/11 high jackers were Saudi nationals?  How many times can people overlook the funding of Al Quada that originated from Saudi Arabia?

The US invasion of Iraq is just what Al Quada wanted to inspire their movement and gain new recruits, to prove to other Muslims that the US wants to control the Muslim world, so they could continue with aggressive efforts against the US influence in that region.  

The irony is that now that Saddam is gone, Al Quada has more influence in Iraq!  When Saddam was in power, Al Quada's presence in Iraq was kept under control, with Saddam and Al Quada as enemies.

And this report by the 9/11 commission is old news!
