For this BBs, better upgrade to people not sticking their head in the sand, but removing their head from their own ass.

The UN inspectors did leave voluntarily from Iraq.

Regarding Kuwait, Saddam invaded and tried to annex Kuwait, the war in 1991 was justified.

This is a different war, and we rolled the dice thinking we would go in, find a stash of WMD, and the world would be thankful that we did. Instead, it came up snake eyes.

We underestimated the validity of reports that an insurgent war would emerge, leading to possible civil war.

We overestimated our belief that a Christian group of men would be tossed rose petals my Muslim women and men from the Gulf up to Baghdad,

There will be elections, but the suckers who get elected will be treated like Black Bart from Blazing Saddles...may as well hang them now and get it over with.

Even a dog knows when it ****s on the living room floor that it made a mistake. It's too bad our leaders don't have the intellectual equivalent of rover.

SH  bad guy? Why not roll in to Ruwanda next? far worse atrocities there, Nuke.

You didn't read my post, did you?

We didn't invade Iraq to free the people from Saddam.

Exactly. We invaded because Iraq was a threat to the safety and security of the United States...


That's the reason. Unfortunately, it wasn't true.

They invaded Kuwait. It also wasn't specifically a U.S. action. IIRC, it was UN Resolution 678 that authorized all member states to do so.

So why did the US go to war in gulf war 1? Why did we send our troops over? Did you support that action?

As a matter of fact, I did support that action... but not by choice. ;)

The reason is that Iraq threatened the Middle East and the oil reserves there. That is a strategic interest to the US and the world. The area is vital to the security of the United States.
