There was that little issue of Saddam violating the terms of the ceasefire, remember those? Allowing inspection unhampered, not shooting at out planes in the no fly zone and killing Kurds by the thousands, those little things?

There were a number of reasons to remove Saddam. WMD was one.

You support the United Nations?
I'm anti-United Nations, in fact, I want the US out of the UN.

And that was America’s responsibility to fix, because....??

didn’t April Gillaspie tell Hussain Kuaite was not an American issue, which started the entire fiasco?

also seem to recall Bush the Elder allowing the Republican Guard to go home from Kuaite unmolested. Yeah, there was the highway of death ect., where they killed regular army looters with their spoils.

I also recall after calls for internal uprising in Iraq the Kurds stood up and tried to fight without support for several weeks/couple months with disastrous results. Once they were out of the way the no fly started.

All of that -- especially the inspections, the ceasefire, etc. -- overlooks the point that the U.S. never should have been involved in a military campaign against Iraq even in 1990.

The U.S. involvement in Iraq will go down in history as a complete disaster. Between the two Bush presidents they have destroyed the credibility of the Republican Party and many of its supporters. No wonder Jeb Bush is about as popular as a child molester right now.

And now that Saddam's out of the way, Iran has a free hand to arm itself with nuke tipped missiles.

We have to go to war with Iran now. It won't be the cake walk that Iraq was. It's a huge country, and contrary to popular myth, the Iranians are fairly well educated. But they are now also radicalized - like the Germans circa 1937. But unlike the Germans, the Russians have their back.

What are you going to do now, DB? What's your brilliant solution to ISIS, Iran, and of course the unabated Saudi funding of the fifth column in our country?

This rewriting of history sickens me, notice the author omitted any of the really inflammatory Trump statements to soft peddle the crap sandwich.
