One of the arguments I constantly hear about McCain, is the big mistake, Iraq. I do not see Iraq as the big mistake. Has anyone ever stopped to really think what it may of been like had we not gone into Iraq. It is a well documented and known fact that even before 9/11 that Osama Bil Laden & Hussein had an "operational relationship from the early 1990's to 2003. They were partners in WMD's, Iraq provided support for terrorist attacks, Al Qaeda Training Camps, financial support for Al-Qaeda, and a safe-haven in Iraq. USS Cole, 10/19/2000 was said to be the 1st joint operation between Osama & Hussein. Saddam Hussein warned of the WTC attackes before 9/11. Hussein also praised Osama after 9/11. Here is what was written in an Iraqi State Run News Paper on July 21, 2001. Read each word carefully, and you be the judge. "with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the deseart about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House." and at the end of the article, "will strike Amercia on the arm that is already hurting, and that the US will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs". (Just writting that gets me sick to my stomach, and for you youngsters out there, the reference to Frank Sinatra's song.... New York, New York. One the US Invaded Afganistan, where did the Al-Qaeda run to, to meet up with the others all ready in Iraq. And this is when Iraq stopped the US from coming to WMD Inspections, do you all remember that, how they would not let us, not let us and not let us. Although Bush insisted, let us in, or their will be war. They continued to refuse for months (which of course anyone w/common sense will say to get rid of the WMD's). Bush continued to warn Iraq, STOP HARBOURING TERRORIST, which they did not. There are pages, and pages of information that clearly illustrate why we had to go into Iraq. Now Barack Hussein Obama says, and this is a direct paste: The first step must be getting off the wrong battlefield in Iraq, and taking the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. So what is Obama saying, he is NOT bringing the troops home, they are going not only to Afganistan, but now to Pakistan. Here is the link to his article, The War We Need To Win, while it may be a very long article, it is one that needs to be read. http://www.barackobama.com/2007/08/01/the_war_we_need_to_win.php In closing, of which I am sure I am about to insult Obama supporters. But as I wrote this article, it was even more clear to me why Obama scares the hell out of me..... Iraq = Osama & Hussein Sorry there is not such thing as coincidence, life has an interesting way of coming full circle.. BTW the picture above was found by our troops in one of Hussein's Mansions, along with other muriels depicting that tragic day!!!!!
