Please do not assume that people who consider the Iraq war scandalous must be Troofers as well.

I won't go that far, although they do share a denial of the historic record of the facts.

Your problem if you can't see reality. Do you ever wonder why Obama went and killed Khadaffi? Oh wait no you don't never mind.
Seems like the tune has changed on Iraq, we went from Al Queda, to WMD's to profits, 10 years later and maybe the excuse will change yet again. Let me see we spent 10 years at war at a cost of a few hundred billion dollars (that we borrowed), fascinating economic policy, surely you can find some pulitizer prize winners to back that up.

By the way Obama didn't kill Gadaffi, wrong country, wrong leader. Maybe you meant Hussein

At least the government (Bush Administration) never said Iraq was involved with 911 or Al Qaeda.

Lets make this real simple. Can you prove that Bush/cheney and company did not profit in anyway from the Iraq war? Now if it can be proven that they did, would your blind faith in them change?

Really? It is obvious that bush alone could not concieve or even pull it off alone, it would require many people for that to happen. As far as calling her "crazy" do'nt you think that would be their intentions so she is not believable? There have been other ex-CIA agents that have the same story as she does, are all of them crazy as well?

As for your blind belief in this covert government ability to keep a secret, why don't they reveal how and who killed Kennedy? why do you think many things are deemed "classified under national security" for at least 50 years before parts of it is released to the public? so that those involved are long dead and cannot be charges for their crimes. Do you realize that if the government had any part of the 911 attack and the public knew it, the government would be overthrown by the people and all hell would break loose worldwide.

As far as your assumption about whistle blowers, think about this look what has happened to Manning and what the government is trying to do to Snowden. that being said, who in their right mind is going to blow the whistle on anything that is that large and live to tell about it or at least be thrown in jail and labeled as being crazy

Yes they did, there was the meeting in Brussels with Al Queda and they were supposedly using Iraq as a training ground, forget about the fact that Hussein hated Ben Laden and Al Queda.

There were training camps inside of Iraq, outside of Bagdad..

The fact that Hussein hated Bin Laden, doesnt disprove the statement that Bush never claimed Iraq had a dam thing to do with 911

The administration put forth the information that there was a meeting in Brussels between senior Iraqi official and Al Queda. If there were training camps Hussein didn't know about them, they were there without his approval. All in all it was a secondary excuse to invade Iraq as put forth in the media.

Yes, Hussein did know about them, while he didnt approve, he tolerated them.

Did you even look at the 911 commission report?
