“Have always wondered if Bush’s Iraq invasion was more of a vendetta agains Saddam’s assassination attempt agains GHWB.”

Another Iraq invasion myth. The biggest of course being that we went in because of WMDs. All anyone has to do is read GWB’s statement on the eve of the invasion to see it was Saddam’s ignoring UN inspections and sanctions that precipitated the Coalition’s invasion.

The same rationale today would have had us invading Iran last year for violating UN sanctions and inspections. There would be the usual cries about “blood and treasure” but the world would be safer without Iranian nukes.

Are we safer now than before GW invaded Iraq and deposed the military and Sadaam Hussein?
