I agree with him. Saddam had to be removed.
Yes. But that could have been done in Gulf War I. We can thank that worthless POS fake Republican Secretary Colin Powell for that. He saw the utter crippling defeat of Saddam’s forces in Kuwait and Southern Irag and the rapid drive to Baghdad coming and he became the true coward liberal that he is and always will be and convinced Bush to give it up.
Further, because of 9/11 it was easy to stretch the reason to invade and topple Saddam, but frankly he could have been assassinated, too. IMO, we didn’t need to spend more than a trillion dollars, and worse, lose over 3000 American soldiers’ lives to do it.
I’m must not into this piece-meal approach any more. If it is a real problem, I say nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Why?
If Saddam was such a bad guy why didn’t someone else from the region remove him? Why was this our job?
Saddam may have been an evil tyrant but he was THEIR evil tyrant. And he kept the sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia in check. Sure he did it brutally, but what concern is that of ours or at least ours alone? Where were the other Muslim leadership if they really wanted him out?
