Obfuscation
Big Time:
W uses this line, too. And it's true. But so what? The reasons they hit us in 2001 are myriad, but primary among them were our troops' presence in Saudi Arabia -- where they're not anymore -- and our support for its corrupt rulers and for Israel -- which continues. And now they just have another reason to hate us: the invasion, conquest, occupation and subjugation of a Muslim country to steal its oil. But the main reason they hated us enough in 2001 to hit us was because most of us didn't even know they hated us. And most of us know now that they hate us, but haven't made any effort to learn why. So they'll keep trying to hit us again.
"Some have suggested by liberating Iraq from Saddam Hussein we simply stirred up a hornet's nest. They overlook a fundamental fact: We were not in Iraq in September 2001 and the terrorists hit us anyway."

Unfortunately, it's too long to soundbite, but one of the reasons they give for 9-11 is the presence of US military forces in Saudi.
So, yeah, we weren't in Iraq, but we were still in Saudi.
