GB I had the common sense to understand the international coalition wanted the return of Kuwait to it's previous state...nothing more. There was no such coalition, and nowhere would one of reason extrapolate from the language of the original resolutions dealing with Kuwait-Iraq that any member of that coalition could unilaterally invade Iraq on the flimsiest whim.

Indeed he understood a contained Saddam (basically mayor of Baghdad) was far more preferable than an Iranian style theocracy. Something the later PNAC zealots failed miserably to understand.-

Bush lied. If he did then the previous administration and the people in congress under both told the exact same lie. But Bush lied.
Bush waited for Congress to give him the go ahead which the constitution requires but he destroyed the constitution.
Bush just went to war for no real reason. Clinton was making words about Husein but that is ignored. The UN kept resolution after resolution and finally the wording was such that the go ahead for member nations enforcing it was there but Bush went to war outraging the world community.
Bush never got a group of nations together but just went alone. Doesn't matter that 22 other nations sent troops there and there was no outrage except in a few biased places.
We capture people for all the wrong reasons. But when a small group was let loose 30 of them were killed there fighting our troops, captured, or suicide bombers. But we had no real reason to hold them.
A few incidents of mistreatment of prisoners happened but the left turns that into a full court press that makes it sound like our troops are continuously doing that.
The death toll of people in Iraq goes from extremely high numbers of several million down to hundreds of thousands. They make it sound like our troops killed people all over the place. Who did most of the killing? Terrorists. Usually by blowing themselves up along with others. In firefights with the terrorists there are dead bodies. It is made out that all non uniformed people killed are civilians when most of them are terrorists.
Lies lies lies!!!!!-

Yes endo, you are full of lies, please list the 22 countries that went in with you and the amount of troops they sent. Then i can check on how much financial aid was given or how much debt was forgiven to them. You are nothing but a terrorist sympathizer and you are one of the most immoral people that i have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I feel the need to disinfect my keyboard each time i post in response to your hate filled trash.

Right. Until Saddam kept thumbing his nose at the world and the UN (actually secretly receiving kick-backs from the UN in the Oil for food scandal), requiring more resolutions, and more veiled threats until a leader with gonads said enough! If you're unwilling to do what is required, then we will.
Don't forget. We just went through 9-11. If there was a time or reason to strike back at terrorism, now was our chance.
