How the hell did we survive 88-92 with so many of these clowns in charge?

My take is that Papa Buss invalidated some of the REALLY REALLY bad policies.

He was POTUS after all.

I certainly don't know all the ins and outs of the first gulf war, just seems to me had we went after Hussein then we might not had this war to fight today.

JMHO

Well, fortunately the USSR was disintegrating at the time, and the islamofascists were just getting on their feet. Saddam provided entertaining TV drama with his largely useless "third largest army in the world." Given the times, and aside from Desert Storm, doing nothing but bloviating at our friends was probably the best policy.
