Time to remember why we went to war again since the Bush Administration cannot be bothered to make the case.
This was published as a blog post to commemorate the 5th Anniversary of 9/11. It is time to remember why we are fighting in Iraq.
Why did I make this list of Saddam’s Connections and Collaborations with Al Qaeda?
This list started out as just an area to drop links that I found relevant regarding the most obvious reason for taking Saddam out of power, his use of Islamic terrorists to wage war by proxy. This aspect of Saddam’s madness has always been the central reason for deposing him. We could not allow any Dictator who believed in using Islamic terrorists as proxies to have any sort of major weapons. The crux was his desire to use Islamic terrorists as proxies in wars against us, which he states as a viable strategy against us in his conversations with Ambassador Glaspie prior to Former President Bush’s war to take back Kuwait.
As a father it struck me early on how important it was to have valid reason for going to war. Theorists, policy makers, and various bureaucrats might believe UN Resolutions were important enough to go to and sustain war but as a father I knew it wouldn’t be. None of my children mattered so little to me that I would waste them upholding such a cynical organization as the UN. But showing clear connections and collaborations between a nation and those terrorists we knew to be attacking and I would support going to war.
Our war is far from over. To do our part at home we need to respond against those who try and stop our battle for survival by discrediting our war in Iraq specifically, and against Islamic totalitarians in general. Fight back against those who try to say that Saddam was not linked to terror, either in private conversations, letters to the editor, radio talk shows or wherever they make themselves known. Now when you hear someone make the claim that there was no evidence of Saddam’s links to terror you have at your fingertips enough evidence to make effective counterpoints.
