I hate to say this, but “W” should’ve handled Iran years back. Of course speaking from hindsight, they are a much bigger threat than Iraq ever was.

Moscow & Beijing are siding with Iran on this.

Why hate stating the truth? I've been saying this for a while now, and the ugly truth is, GWB screwed the pooch when it comes to the 'War on Terror' because after taking out Saddam, he lost his balls so far as Iran and North Korea were concerned (the other two 'legs' of that 'Axis of Evil') and for all his yammering about "not allowing Iran to obtain a nuclear weapons capability", he ignored the advice of Dick Cheney AND John Bolton and failed to take action against Iran to neuter their nuke program before it got to this point.
Anybody want more? After meeting with the North Korean defector and author who wrote 'The Aquariums of Pyongyang', detailing the sufferings of his family in Kim Jong Il's concentration camp system, GWB was allegedly asking what could be done to help the North Korean people, and after long consideration, decided the best way to help those poor bastards was to sell them up the river by taking North Korea's regime OFF the list of terrorist supporting nations maintained by the State Department.
My conclusion? There just might be more than mere speculation when it comes to the rumor that the only reason GWB wanted to 'get' Saddam so badly was that he viewed it personally after Saddam had reportedly planned to assassinate Poppy RINO on a visit to Kuwait many years before.
Now there were benefits to overthrowing Saddam, no question of that because if Saddam were still in power, we would have THREE regimes in the region pursuing nuclear weapons, Iraq AND Iran (because Saddam was not about to let the Iranians gain the upper hand, especially in the nuclear field) plus LIBYA because Gaddafi only turned over his nuke program to the UK and the US because he feared that after Saddam, he might be next.
The bottom line? GWB left the job undone, just like Poppy did after the first Gulf War when he sold out the Kurds and allowed Saddam to remain in power.
