Read the whole thing, it sounds like wussy talk....jeewiz.
I agree....Bush I had a historical tendency of "wussing out", on taxes AND in the Gulf War....I remember well...standing and screaming at the TV....Don't Stop Now you idiots....go to Baghdad or at least destroy the Republican Guard which was bottled up between Basra and Baghdad at the end of the 100 hours of combat. IMO, GB-1 was decent but no Reagan in any sense of commitment, GW1 was too much of a DC Insider...go along to get along ....today, 15 yrs on these types are known as RINOS!
The Treaty that was sort-of, kind-of agreed to by Saddam was a total screw-up. I lost a lot of respect for Colin Powell and Gen. Schwartzkopf due to their lack of enforcement after GW1. Yes they are all culpable to some degree for the run up to 9/11....failure is the result of weakness. History will not be kind to those involved with the leadership in GW1.

Sounds like thee and me were doing much the same thing at the same time. My phrase was "idiots....idiots....idiots".
