my thought is 9/11 doesnt precede an invasion of Iraq, but of Afganistan. Iraq required a whole new justification, all that WMD stuff. so why 9/11?
I'm not a tin foil hatter but 9/11 was definitely a precursor to the invasion of Iraq. Remember the "axis of evil"? Bush senior regretted not finishing Saddam off after the first Gulf conflict and whispered in his Sons ear that it was the perfect chance to lay that ghost down. If that's a conspiracy then it's one between a bitter father and a vengeful son...unfortunately both were heads of the free world.
It's been said before on one of these ludicrous threads that you can rule out a conspiracy around WMD because, had the CIA been involved, you can bet that some Sarin or some such WOULD have magically turned up in the clearup operation.
Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell have both challenged the critics of the dodgy dossier and the conspiracists to produce evidence of British collusion in the submission of false data to justify the war...to date no one has.
They also forced Bush to go back to the UN for sanity checks when Washingtons sabre rattling was at its height, they further insisted on the formation of a coalition to check American ambitions and cover the US from allegations of unwarranted aggression against a sovereign state.
If it wasn't for Blair the US would have gone in anyway but without international observers involved to rein them in. It's a ****ing mess there now as it is. If the USA had gone in alone it would have been far worse.
