  Are you conflating Osama Bin Laden with Saddam Hussein, for whom as summarized by wikipedia:

  In 2003, a US-led coalition invaded Iraq, falsely accusing him of developing weapons of mass destruction and of having ties with al-Qaeda.

  I know this is a shitpost, but I don’t want to spread old, debunked propaganda.

    Also, Bin Laden was a puppet of Hussein

      Can you cite where Saddam is involved in 9/11? Again, it’s generally accepted history that the Bush Administration claimed he supported the attacks, never presented evidence he was involved, then later admitted he was not involved.

        Also, that document was first archived in August 2013, not 2006, not 2001

        So please don’t try to refer me to ancient shit that could have been altered over many years…

        Did you miss the mass erase of online data?

        My data is before the mass erase.

        I don’t even trust modern links, they’ve all been tampered with.

    I mean, as fucked up as random regime change is, at least he wasn’t exactly a good dude? Silver linings and all that.

  Dafaq? Saddam had nothing to do with it, and a vast majority of the world knew that at the time. That’s why the bullshit WMD story was circulated as an excuse to attack, and still most of the world was dubious at best.

        Do you realize that the damaged area of the Pentagon was way smaller than the plane that supposedly hit it?
