  Is this some kind of meta-joke? What does Saddam have to do with 9/11?

    This is not at all a joke.

    Saddam Hussein orchestrated the 9/11 attack.

    This isn’t even funny, please educate yourself.

      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

        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.
