If the socialist squareheads hate us we must be doing something right.

I'll let President Bush senior (a man whom I greatly respect) have the final word:

"While we hoped that popular revolt or coup would topple Saddam, neither the U.S. nor the countries of the region wished to see the breakup of the Iraqi state. We were concerned about the long-term balance of power at the head of the Gulf. Trying to eliminate Saddam, extending the ground war into an occupation of Iraq, would have violated our guideline about not changing objectives in midstream, engaging in "mission creep," and would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible. We had been unable to find Noriega in Panama, which we knew intimately. We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome."


that was stated when?
how about: Time (2 March 1998)

why don't you go find quotes against the US heading into ww2 5 to 10 years b4 she entered it...

So you do not agree that sadam killed an estimated 300,000 people?  

Not counting the Iran war and the invasion of kuwait that tacked on another million or so.

Ah, the hoary old "anyone who disagrees with the USA is a communist" argument, second only to the "we saved your tulips in 2 world wars so we should get a free pass now" argument. Nice work!

what context, you had a one line reply?  If you were refering to the post above yours (I just looked) my apologies.

I may not know the exact number of people murdered by sadam but I do know it was more than 1 and very likely more than 300,000.

BS. The US may have done business with him (so did most of the world) but to say we created him shows a breathtaking lack of perspective.  As far as selling him mustard gas, how many times does this myth have to be debunked.
