So are you saying that the reason we began the "War on Terror" was to fight Saddam Hussein?
I realize that. But that was only because Saddam was the one in power when the United States began to fight the War On Terror. If it had been someone else, someone who didn't have any beef with GW senior, the targets probably would have been totally different. You say that the Iraqi's didnt think that the original reason was to, as our President said,"Hunt down, and punish the cowards..." I say nay. Because that was the reason we made our way over the the Middle East. If we went over to attack Osama Bin Laden and half-way through the attack we turned around and attacked Saddam Hussein because it was convenient, then don't you think the Iraqi's would have noticed it?airborne eagle said:toppling the regime and breaking Saddam were one in the same
The non-Iraqi's and Baathist's see them as the bigger threat only because they want to topple the fragile,barely established government early before they get a strong hold. They want to push the Iraqi government down before they stand all the way up. They figure that if they can move the government into a position of no power, then they can just reclaim the "throne" and start fresh with a new totalitarian leader....airborne eagle said:That is, the non-Iraqi terrorists and the Baathist hold-outs have come to see the Iraqi people in the predominantely Sunni provinces as the bigger threat.
