Iraq attacked us on 8/10/01 Bush had every right to think Iraq *might* have been involved after 9/11

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. COLLEEN MCEDWARDS, CNN ANCHOR: There's been a larger-than-usual strike in the southern no-fly zone of Iraq this morning that we're tracking for you here on CNN. Allied planes, more than 50 of them, were involved, hitting three targets in the southern no-fly zone. Now the U.S. has said that Iraq is increasingly threatening the planes that patrol those no-fly zones since the Gulf War.

They attacked our planes a month before with new technology in an attempt to hit a U2-Survelliance plane.

We then bomb then in one of the largest strikes since 1998. A month later 3000 americans are dead from a terrorist attack.

I would be pissed if Iraq WASN'T questioned.

BTW I was reading through the CNN transcripts to dig up info, thought this was informational.

Great post, I had almost forgotten about all the activity in the 'no-fly zones' around the time of 9/11. Add to that the possibility of an Iraqi connection to the OKC bombing, and I'd definitely look into Iraq after 9/11 too.
