Voting for the Iraq War Resolution HELPED Osama bin Laden!

[zulchzulu]

Was Al Qaeda in Iraq before we invaded? NO.

Have we let the Taliban return in Afghanistan because we were distracted and stretched our resources with the Iraq War? YES.

Has the Iraq War been the absolute best marketing tool for Osama bin Laden to get people to join Al Qaeda? YES.

Have we spent a half trillion dollars so far on the Iraq War with countless dead that took away the efforts to fight the so-called War on Terror? YES.

Did the United States government allow the bin Laden family to escape after 9/11 happened? YES.

The case can easily be made that whoever voted for the invasion of Iraq only helped Osama bin Laden. Therefore, for Hillary Clinton to use Osama bin Laden in a commercial is a complete fabrication of the real facts.

Hillary and John: Osama bin Laden's best friend.

4. Mountains of evidence PROVE that The Iraq War AIDED Osama bin Laden

Here's just a taste:

Osama bin Laden, however, is viewed favorably by large percentages in Pakistan (65%), Jordan (55%) and Morocco (45%). Even in Turkey, where bin Laden is highly unpopular, as many as 31% say that suicide attacks against Americans and other Westerners in Iraq are justifiable. Majorities in all four Muslim nations surveyed doubt the sincerity of the war on terrorism. Instead, most say it is an effort to control Mideast oil and to dominate the world.

(snip)

Majorities in Germany, Turkey and France – and half of the British and Russians – believe the conflict in Iraq undermined the war on terrorism. At least half the respondents in the eight other countries view the U.S. as less trustworthy as a consequence of the war. For the most part, even U.S. military prowess is not seen in a better light as a result of the war in Iraq.

The war in Iraq probably helped boost al-Qaeda recruitment, according to a report from leading Western think-tank.

The report, the annual Military Balance by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, does not dwell on the causes of the war.

But it does consider its effects and has some highly critical comments.

It says that the risks of terrorism to Westerners and Western assets in Arab countries "appeared to increase after the Iraq war began in March 2003".

It says that al-Qaeda was forced to disperse after the invasion of Afghanistan but remained "a viable and effective 'network of networks' ".
