McCain Still Tying Iraq to 9/11 Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

Is John McCain seriously still sticking to this line?

Asked by the host whether he agreed with Barack Obama that "the Iraq war had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks of 9/11," McCain replied:

"No. We invaded a country that every intelligence agency said was developing weapons of mass destruction. Think of Saddam Hussein in power with oil at 100 dollars a barrel, and all that entails with his commitment which when after he was captured, he stated categorically that he would acquire weapons of mass destruction, and he would use them wherever he could. Now, Iraq--"

"But he had nothing to do with 9/11," the hosted interjected.

"He had a lot to do with invading his neighbor Kuwait, and we had to go to war and fight there," McCain replied. "He had a lot to do with using weapons of mass destruction, he used them previously, so there's no doubt about his commitment to get them."

McCain was a big fan of conflating Iraq and 9/11 back in 2002 and 2003 calling for invading Iraq as early as a month after 9/11.  The fact that he's still making this argument, and implicitly tying the two together the way George Bush did, is disturbing.  Fortunately, the American public has smartened up on this question.

We need to start tying 9/11 to Cheney, who many now believe allowed 9/11 to proceed on purpose.

"Think of Saddam Hussein in power with oil at 100 dollars a barrel"

Would oil have hit $100 a barrel if we hadn't invaded Iraq? My guess is no.
