Rationale for war: “Saddam had a long history of supporting various terrorist groups”
Former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith says that nobody in the administration believed that Iraq was responsible for the attacks of Sept. 11, and that the controversy of Iraq’s ties to al-Qaida was not an enormous influence on going to war. He says that the rationale of the war relating to terrorism had to do with Saddam’s long history of training terrorist groups in Iraq and promoting terrorism. (1:11)
