If the United States would have exceeded what was allowed by the UN resolution agreement, the next time we went to them it would be denied.
We played it by the book.
Nevertheless, here we are again, fighting an asymmetrical war...being forced to show restraint toward the enemy.
Your argument is ridiculous. Bush Sr. (41) wimped out just as was explained in a previous post, MOTHER OF ALL BLUNDERS (it's ancient history and a fact) Bush Jr.'s (43) motivation for "revisiting" Iraq is to outdo his father. Unfortunately, as has been explained before, Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with the terrorist attacks on the US on Sept. 21, 2001. The Iraq War serves as a diversion, distraction from shining the spotlight on the real criminals within the Wahhabi Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who bankrolled the terrorist attacks on the United States of America on September 11, 2001. In that regard, it has succeeded to the detriment of the US.
