Leftist Propaganda and Lies About Saddam and Halliburton

“Iraq was not a breeding ground for terrorism. Our invasion has made it one.” --Sen. Ted Kennedy "Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion." --Sen. John Kerry

Ever since the start of “Operation Iraqi Freedom”, opponents of President Bush in general and of the invasion of Iraq in particular have bombarded us with these messages:

We created the terrorists by going to Afghanistan and Iraq to fight them.

There was no connection between Saddam Hussein and Muslim terrorism.

The war was started to give fat contracts to Halliburton, Cheney’s former company.

To say that we created the terrorists by fighting them is a lot like saying that chemotherapy causes cancer, and it makes about as much sense. One of the aims of our invasion of Iraq was to draw the terrorists there and fight and kill them there, rather than face them on American soil after they kill thousands more Americans. Since 9/11 there have been no further terrorist attacks within the USA, and 10’s of thousands of Muslim terrorists have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In addition, we now have documented proof of what the president knew when he ordered the move into Iraq. Saddam indeed was financing and training thousands of Muslim terrorists for missions around the world.
