Why were these facilities not destroyed during the Bush years?
I thought he couldn’t find them?
Long story but, during Gulf War 1 operation Desert Storm, the US bombed the crap out of Saddam;s WMD facilities. Follow on studies determined that it created a environmental catastrophe and actually killed a lot of people living near those facilities. There was a CIA report available on the web about it. Linked to it on Freerepublic many many years ago. So you cannot just blow the facilities up without consequences.
