Well .. I do see your point and it would be nice if they did .. but AT THAT time the intent was not to kill Saddem it was to free Kuwait (sp?) which we did. IMO I think they thought Saddem was weakened and there was a good chance he would fall

Unfortunately Clinton became President and well pretty much ingored Iraq. and now we are facing an even more dangerous madman and that is why I put more of the blame on Clinton

That is exactly what they thought, but we had commited over 500,000 troops to the battle. H.W. should have taken the chance of breaking the coalition (which never would have happened) and taken out the government (Saddam). I took part in Desert Storm, but voted for Ross Perot just because of that lack of leadership.
