“It is interesting for me to realize there are people out there that actually think leaving Hussein in power would have been a good idea.”
Yes, it’s idiocy.
And he did not do a better job fighting radical Muslims.
He allied with radical Muslims and supported radical Muslims, actually giving monetary rewards to their families for their suicide bombings.
To clarify. I say that after the first Gulf War, he needed to be taken out. He should have been taken out, once we committed to liberating Kuwait.
But I question the First Gulf War. It was an errand for the Saudis. And the end result was a further radicalizing of Saddam. And to go in without removing him was dumb.
Thanks Infinnegan. That’s how I see it.
