Your opinion is noted, Ed... as ridiculous as it is, it doesn't address

the
topic of this thread, and your comments are complete nonsense.


George, your posts are nothing BUT nonsense. Saying that the two Iraq wars
were "one war" is about as stupid as anything you've said.

What you meant, if you could hold a complete idea together all in one place,
is that, in your opinion, not taking out Saddam the first time is the cause
of the second Iraq war. That's certainly true, in a de facto way, but it was
NOT one war all about the same thing.

The first was about Saddam flexing his muscles to become the dominant power
in the Middle East. In fact, based on what he'd been told by the US
ambassador, he (and others) felt that the US had given him the go-ahead on
Kuwait. Big mistake on both our parts.


HINT: That was Bush-1 that said "go ahead".
Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. Remember those guys?
