1) what proof do you have that saddam's invasion of kuwait was a threat to the world oil reserves? how do you know he wouldnt have just kept selling it as is?
2) You forgot the US left the Kurds out to dry thereby getting a bunch of them killed in an offensive that we promised air cover for and did not provide.
3) hellbent on war....bush aint done yet he just got done saying he was bringing democracy to Muslim countries. And I dont think he means by using his diplomatic skills.
4) nice timeline though gives a good idea of things I would add bush is fixing the mistake his dad made by leaving Saddam in charge but then again thats just my opinion.
you would have rather had a power vacume and civil war then????
How soon you people forget.
1. If you will remember the "highway of death" that was a major spark in ignighting a STOP THE WAR cry though out the world
2. Removing Sadam from power was not the coalition forces mission. It was to liberate kuwait. If you'll remember this was a coalition force acting with UN approval.
3. If the massive force would have turned north to bahgdad and started occupying a soverign nation people would have made the same arguments then as they do now about how it was un justified.
4. Yes the US left the kurds high and dry because there wasn't congressional approval to overthrow Sadam at the time and it would have been argued an illegal secret war.
5. Who cares about oil reserves the first Iraq war much like the second was totally justified.
