Even Bill Clinton dropped a few bombs on Saddam when Saddam threatened the life of George H. W. Bush. Such a threat should be taken seriously by the US government, and dealt with in a similar fashion.
Exactly! Leftists whined that GWB was trying to “avenge his daddy” by going after Saddam. Uh, GHWB was the fricking PRESIDENT of THE UNITED STATES. Saddam was lucky he didn’t get a nuclear enema. Lay a hand on a POTUS and you WILL feel the wrath, no matter what. I’d feel the same if some loser country tried to harm one hair on the head of Obama. He may be a SOB, but he’s OUR SOB.
