"He claims to have won the Gulf War 1." Well, didn't he? 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.' No matter how you look at it.

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

I'm not so inclined to fault Bush 41.
He was fighting his own administration, in particular Colin Powell, as well as Congress and a coalition that wouldn't allow him to go any farther than we did.

I just think it was a huge mistake that allowed innocent people to pay for with their lives.
