If we were not divided on two fronts, we would be more effective in hunting down those responsible for 9/11 rather than stuck in a quagmire that had nothing to do with the attacks on us.

But Noah, you are not considering the possible conflict that we may have been fighting in Indonesia and Iran. Logic clearly dictated that we invade Iraq based on trumped up evidence.

Administrative Response

Gentlemen - I just edited a number of posts in this thread. The next one of the three of you that writes anything insulting or baiting will be put in the queue for 24 hours. No exceptions or exclusions.

I am tired of not being able to be off the board for an hour without you three starting up.

But we are presently in 2005. There we know there are no conflicts in those areas.

Are you suggesting that the invasion of Iraq was warranted because we might have been involved in other conflicts? That makes absolutely no sense.

Stop trying to twist my words.

The invasion of Iraq was warranted. The 9/11 commission said so.

If we hadn't gone there, we'd probably be fighting terrorist scum somewhere else.

Okay?

Okay?

So you admit that commiting forces to Iraq has lessened our ability to project force elsewhere in the world. At least we can agree on that point.

You keep attempting to attribute things to me that I have not said.

Stop it.

If you can't understand what I've said, and I have said it quite clearly and distinctly, feel free to moveon to the next thread.

Just to summarize my POV, I don't see what Indonesia and Iran have to do with our current troop deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. The invasion of Afghanistan served the legitimate purpose of removing the Taliban and denying Al Queda a base of operations. The invasion of Iraq did not serve a legitimate purpose and has denied Afghanistan much needed resources that could have been used to stabilize and rebuild that country which seems to be slipping into chaos at present.

Well, the 9/11 commission disagrees with you.

The 9/11 Commission said that Bush should have invaded Iraq because Bush was probably going to invade Indonesia or Iran anyway therefore resources were not needlessly diverted from Afghanistan? Can you link me to that section of the report?
