Nobody was under that assumption, Everyone knew it was Bin Laden behind 9/11. They openly boasted over it. Saddam was accused at having Weapons of mass destruction, which he never had. It was all a lie.

I still don’t have a clue why we invaded Irack other than needing a witch to burn

It was simply an opportunity for President Bush to make himself more popular.

It was Bushes "war on terror"

Trump has now unleashed years of terrorist activity across the West.

This ties in with my memory of that time

Consequently, the United States went to war in Iraq on a false pretense that it was somehow avenging those killed by al-Qaida. A Washington Post poll conducted two years after 9/11 dramatically illustrated the story: 69% of Americans at the time believed Saddam Hussein was “personally” involved in the 9/11 attack. Even more staggering, 82% believed Saddam provided assistance to Osama bin Laden. Both were utterly false.

Obsessed with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, the Bush administration misled the American public into believing Iraq was connected to the September 11 attacks, Bruce Riedel writes.

Never heard of it! But a quick Google gave this result:

People also ask

Why did the US invade Iraq in Gilgamesh?


This has fueled conspiracy theories that the U.S. military seized the tomb for reasons beyond archaeology—possibly to recover ancient technology or knowledge believed to be hidden within. Did the U.S. military invade Iraq specifically to uncover the secrets of Gilgamesh's tomb?

I've never heard of Gilgamesh. I'm not sure that means I live in a bubble! Are we talking about Noah and the Ark?

Actually there have been legal proceedings which argue against that...

The case is that it's ok to commit a crime to prevent an even greater crime...

In that case under the genocide act, which is rather apt given what is happening in the ME at the moment!
