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.

What invasion? 1991? The UN imposed a series of sanctions, SH violated
them repeatedly, so the countries not making money with illegal deals
with SH went in to finish what Desert Storm should have.

I'll agree that taking down the Iraqi govt without considering the
resultant chaos hasn't worked out. Too bad the Pentagon wouldn't listen
to the State Dept.

I'm surprised to read that you have no sympathy for what the Iraqis
suffered at the hands of SH and his crew. Especially his sons. I do and
did at the time.
