We were just miles outside Baghdad and had the opportunity to take him out, and we didn't.
This left Saddam in power and allowed him to 'massacre' the Shia's in the south, that rose up to fight, because they thought we had their backs.
Saddam still had his clandestine weapons program and eventually kicked out the U.N. inspectors.
So, Saddam DID win the Gulf 1 war.'

It was a case of "Read My Lips, Knew We'd Relaxes" from the man who represents the only mistake Ronald Reagan ever made.
