Quote:Not to mention that this war was planned out in 1998 - 3 years before the 9/11 attacks
Well, at least a war was planned after Saddam decided to wipe his ass with the ceasefire completely and kick weapons inspectors out of Iraq. Unfortunate that a certain former president didn't do anything about it.
Can you explain that reasoning , please? Why would we let an enemy of ours just break a ceasefire and not do anything about it? Sure, Iraq invaded Kuwait, and was a threat to the region until we knocked them out, but it's not like we needed to check up on them, right? So, I guess we could just let a lil thing like that slide.
Now, Bush has said that he knows we will find WMDs. Remains to be seen, but WMDs weren't even necessary to wage this conflict. Saddam was suppose to prove himself to the world that he was not building an arsonal, that he was not pursuing weapons programs, and that he had destroyed all stockpiles.
He never proved himself. And he had ten years to do it. And he was given so many chances. All he had to do was prove that he wasn't doing shit, and he could have merrily killed, raped, and maimed his own people till he was old and grey and jerking it while Uday carried on the family business.
But he didn't. And we were not about to take the chance that he has them.
