I'm afraid Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism, and Bush just needed to run his business. Iraq never attacked in any way the United States. The real guilty ones are just at home with Bush and he just doesn't care about it; better blaming someone else.

Bush used 9/11 as an excuse to go into Iraq...BUT Iraq had nothing to do with it no matter how many times Bush is trying to sell us the story ..

I think unfortunately Saddam had a "big heads up" about the inspectors going in and had time to get rid of them. Didn't they find remenants of WMD's buried somewhere? I think we needed to go there, but I think we went under false pretenses. I may disagree with Bush on a lot of issues but we needed to take saddam out. The atrocities he was inflicting on his own people was horrendous!

Freinds..Terrorism has difffrent faces and forms.Osama is one face of it where for his own reputaion he has kept the entire Arab world to the War zone.And who is suffering due to all these things???The poor citizens of IRAQ and afganistan. And there is another face which is more sophistiaced and flashy...I dont nt want to take the names..but everybody knows about it. The intension of both of these pople are clear..They want to destroy the society in the name of the war for the sake of their own ego,politics and religion.And the ultimate sufferer is the oridnary civillians....IRAQ was never in a part of TERROR.And if also we go by the argument by Mr Bush that it is a terrorist country then why USA was an ally to Mr Saddam Hussein in the IRAN-IRAQ. As per my perception,both Taliban and Saddam Hussein are product of the incorrect Foreigh Policy of USA in ASIA.

I dont think IRAQ has any role in any way in the terrorist movment.USA has supported IRAQ when there was a war berween IRAN and IRAQ .And at that time IRAQ was one of its frontline allies. So i feel is that the war on IRAQ is primarily meant to show the power of Mr Bush so that he can win a War on any country in the Middle east and Asia.

Iraq is a beautiful country with Tigris river and people there, are really very good. Only a few elements make the country bad. We cannot call Iraq part of war on terror

in iraq the war is not against terror. it is exploitation of a country to get the oil asset from iraq

it was just an excuse to invade countries with oil and overtake their resources

Irag is the center of the fight against terrorists. They are all being drawn there, aside from the ones already there. There is so much classified material concerning this feature of the war, why do people continue to attempt to discredit it and aid the known enemy by the unkowledgeable opinions..You only keep feeding the terrorists with what they want to hear.. but apparently you have no concern or care for your own country. Not realizing what you would be facing if that war were not being conducted. In casee you don't know it, we are dealing with fanatics who respond to anything that is thrown at them (in their brainwashed state of mind) and comply with any order they receive.

It definitely had nothing to do with the war on terrorism Two reasons were given: a) WMD b) Links with Al Qaeeda WMDs were never found and The latest US Senate reports says that there were no links between the Iraqi administration and Al Qaeeda. In fact it goes on to say that Saddam opposed Al Qaeeda and declined any requests from Osama.

I dont think Iraq had anything to do on the war on terror. Its all about oil. If Iraq had no oil we would not be over there in the first place.

I do think it is a part of the war on terror ... Saddam was a sponsor of terrorism for sure ... but I don't agree with the way the war was brought about .... I also think Iran and Syria sponsor terror for sure but does that mean we go to war against them .... no i dont think so ... There are other ways to bring about change around the world and force is not one of them ... Why do we stick our noses in other countries business all the time ..

the war with afganistan was with terrorism, but iraq just dont have anything to do with it, it was just an excuse to take their oil or do you think USA is just making a favor to them? come on!! i really think bush is underestimate us by telling us he just want them to be as free as in america, i dont buy it! he just want to push oil prices because he own some oil too and im sure what's on CNN news isnt the whole story at all

Yes, I think so.. I want to read the book written by his general. I heard he sent his top nuclear expert to Niger twice.. Niger only trades in uranium. I also heard there was some terror contacts [maybe making their way toward dealings together]. I don't know, why did he play games with the U.N. and IAEA..? It's hard to tell what's true in all these affairs, as there's such intense politcal competing.. [and words]. :))

It is interesting to see all the unfounded opinions placed in the posts..as more and more information is found and presented, these opinion offering posters refuse to accept the reality that actually is upon us. There is evidence there were meetings with Al qaida, as well as the main one (with only one leg) having been there for surgery. While thise same opinionaters continue to avoid factual information, they cling to their own fantasies and then attempt to convince others. Seems like there was a recent bombing which killed an individual.. who just happeneed to be the leader of Al quaida of Iraq.. someone needs to keep up with the news and stop making such inane and uninformed statements. It becomes very obvious what their intent really is.. and is not a healthy one for the country.

Iraq is about oil and also finishing what daddy started. Don't get me wrong - I'm not going to pretend that it wasn't a regime that needing changing but that change should have come from the Iraqi people themselves - not the US. The fact is there are dictators all over the place, some of the worst are in Africa, but we don't see Bush rushing to impose regime change on these places. As for ignoring UN resolutions have we not just recently seen an example of disregard for the UN by Israel? As usual I didn't hear much condemnation of their actions coming from Bush. The US should never have invaded Iraq and Britain should never have supported it but then Blair is just a poodle in a suit. The one thing I would say about Bush is that at least the whole Iraq debacle was sold to the American public as regime change. Here in Britain we were fed a pack of crap from Blair about WMD's and being 45 minutes away from an attack and the British public STILL did not agree with military action but Blair just went right on ahead anyway. Disgraceful.
