[quote]The war brought Al-Qaeda into the country[/quote]No it didn't. The war just gave them an opportunity to expand. The predecessor to AQI was called al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, started in the 1990's by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. When the war started, he pledged allegiance to UBL; thus creating al-Qaeda in Iraq. [quote]created a civil war [/quote]Inadvertently. The war, itself, didn't cause the "civil war". AQI and Iran started that. Grant it, they wouldn't have had the chance if the war never took place. Fun Fact: According to [i]Masters of Chaos[/i], US Special Forces and Peshmerga forces [b]did[/b] find a chemical weapon facility in the north. It was the only such place found throughout the war.

  • Are you aware that Europe and the US had been selling precursors for biological weapons to Saddam throughout the 1980s? We funded his operation with technology and resources. Here is video of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein, our ally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r42oejmpkgw Why on Earth did we support Saddam? Because Iran had just gone through an Islamic revolution and Iraq was their greatest enemy. The secular government of Saddam hated the Islamists in Iran. And when we invaded, we broke the country, allowing thousands of terrorists to come in. One other thing happened, the Iraqi government became dominated by Shiites. Iran's ruling class is Shiite. (Saddam was Bath Party with ties to Sunni tribes). And now Iran's greatest ally in the region is Iraq. All thanks to our invasion. 25 years of building up Iraq as a counterweight to the Islamic government in Iran all down the drain...

  • First off, I wasn't stating the fact that SF/Peshmerga found a chemical weapons facility as a justification. I was saying that at least one such facility was found. Secondly, you're probably not aware of this, but everything you said post link to youtube, I already knew. [quote]And when we invaded, we broke the country, allowing thousands of terrorists to come in.[/quote]I don't know if you were meaning this as an argument to what I said about AQI (or rather, their predecessor)? [quote]One other thing happened, the Iraqi government became dominated by Shiites. Iran's ruling class is Shiite. (Saddam was Ba'ath Party with ties to Sunni tribes). And now Iran's greatest ally in the region is Iraq.[/quote]It wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't completely fu­ck up the withdrawal.
