can someone help me refute a freeper
Advertisements [?]
i know it's a pain to ask for someone's help but can someone give me some facts or point me to a website that will refute this freeper i know.

original message:

"When I was in the military Saddam was constantly doing things against the U.S. because we did not retaliate. Al Qaeda has been a pain since Bill Clinton was in office. Bill knew about them and even had information that would have prevented 911. Bill even knew where Bin Laden was located, but instead chose to bomb an aspirin factory to cover the Lewinski scandal. When we were at peace, not attacking anyone, minding our own business, the Twin Towers were struck. Now that we have taken out Saddam have terrorist attacked us again? When the invasion of Iraq began, remember the reports of Al Qaeda camps were found, Bin Laden leaving Iraq and going into Afghanistan. Also a lot of the countries that were against the invasion were getting illegal oil from Iraq. The media shows an angry Iraq, but they don't show the thousands of grateful Iraqi citizens. A soldier that
was over in Iraq said a lot of times there will be peace until the media shows up, then an Iraqi insurgent will do something to strike attention, such as shooting at the U.S. soldiers or self inflict injury and claim the military did this. Also I want to bring to your attention, the scientist that were caught were interrogated and they found biological substances in their homes. Saddam ordered them to take these items from their labs and take them home. WMD is there, remember President Bush wanted to go in immediately and take out Saddam, but the Senate wanted to give Saddam time and go through the U.N. This gave Saddam ample time to hide these weapons. He hid a whole air field under the sand. President Bush to me is doing the right thing. I think people need to be in the military to understand what is going on. One last point, all we hear of is the casualties of Iraq, how come we do not and did not hear of casualties in Kosovo. I remember a soldier stepped on a mine in Kosovo,
we were told by the media, he was okay, just a few bruises. I met this soldier, he was damaged pretty bad. A lot of lives have been lost there, a war where we have nothing to gain."
