Three thousand dead people say they are.

  The 3,000 dead might say they died to take down Saddam, but not necessarily al Qaeda, as the original intent was to do the former and secure what little WMDs there were.

      I didn't say military personnel would fight one but not the other; I merely said that originally soldiers were sent in to Iraq to take down Saddam. al Qaeda presence was not mentioned as often as a concern early in the fighting.

        As a part of your in-depth study materials, do you have any information on just how many folks are in al-qaeda iraq? (NOT al-gaeda; just al-gaeda iraq).
        It seems to me that this is one of thee most basic questions to ask in an in-depth study, yet nobody seems to have a credible answer.

        It only took 19 to bring down the World Trade Center, damage the Pentagon and kill nearly 3000 innocent civilians. That's all the "in-depth study materials" I need to know.

        But again, the war has killed far more than that and hasn't brought us any closer to Bin Laden. It hasn't ended terrorism. If anything, it has made it worse.
        So who is a bigger threat?

        That's because the US hasn't been after Bin Laden and had no real intention of going after anyone having anything to do with 9/11. Which is why we invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and have since insisted on securing all the oil contracts within Iraq.
        At the cost of more than a million dead Iraqis.

        19 carried out the act.. many more were involved in logistics and planning..

        Kville...If you're not interested in arguing or any kind of discussion, why bother to even post?
        Actually, in my original post on this subject, I mistook Drops statement...I thought he meant the number of Americans killed in Iraq, but now I see he meant the 3000 who died on 9/11. My error...

    I was referring to the WTC casualties.

      And the WTC attack had to do with Iraq HOW? Remember, al Qaeda had virtually NO presence in Iraq before your hero Bush opened the door for them. Ansar al-Islam operated in Northern Iraq ONLY because the US no-fly zone prevented Saddam from getting his helicopter gunships up there to blow them to pieces.
      The real al Qaeda, the one that launched the attacks on the WTC and killed 3000 Americans, is the one your hero Bush deliberately let slip through his fingers in Afghanistan so he could continuously use them as a fear-mongering tool to get the Iraq invasion he wanted. That's killed 4,000 plus more Americans. For what? To enrich his cronies in Halibruton, KBR and Blackwater, etc.
      The Iraq debacle has made America LESS safe. It has helped al Qaeda reconstitute itself. Do you really think an additional 4,000 dead for such foolish reasons makes the WTC families feel better for their loss?

        The President didn't clear the Iraq war with me first. I commented on its pitfalls from the beginning.

        That still doesn't answer how it conflates with 9/11.

  Um...the war has killed more Americans than that. Who is the real threat to our nation?

    I would say terrorists since terrorists killed the WTC victims and our soldiers.
