and what agreement is this between Clinton and SD?

Maybe this will turn out to be secret agreement only known to Limbaugh
listeners and we just have to take his word of honor that it
exists ...

After the mother of all battles when Saddam got his mother of all ass
kickings, the UN imposed sanctions on Iraq which Saddam proceeded to
violate repeatedly. Clinton mostly ignored these violations, which
caused a lot of hardship on the Iraqi citizens. Money from oil sales
that was supposed to be used to the benefit of the population went to
building palaces for Saddam and his family and friends, etc. Oddly, the
US got blamed for the plight of the Iraqis when Saddam spent the money
intended for his people.

Any of this coming back to you?


This yes, but not the claim that SD had an agreement in exchange for
his life as was claimed. Maybe some people should stop posting like
they just finished watching a gangster movie.

The "agreement" was the ceasefire after we'd kicked him out of Kuwait.
If we'd continued to Baghdad like we should have, Saddam's necktie party
would have been a lot earlier and he would have had a lot less time to
kill his own people. Shiites. Kurds.

And, of course, no need to return in 2003.

Oh yeah, and I'm sure you were really interested in the plight of the
Iraqi people. You probably worried about them all of your life, you
being such a humanitarian. Funny how you think it takes so little to
justify our invading other countries. I guess it costs you nothing.
Maybe if you had to do some of the heavy lifting every time we attacked
some other country you might not be so quick to want to start a war. Did
you have to kill any Iraqis personally? I didn't think so. No wonder
you're so quick to send in the troops.
