The Saudis.

And Trump needs to nail Hillary on her support for the war, and the fact that Hillary is much closer ideologically to Bush, than Trump is.

bullsh*t. it has become fashionable in this forum to dump on GWB and the decision to remove saddam from power, when in fact it had overwhelming support from the public, it was authorized by act of congress, and it had near unanimous support in this forum.

monday morning quarterbacking; don’t do it.

We did it because Iraq failed to live up to the terms of the 1991 cease fire, which included, among other things, a requirement that Iraq would cooperate fully with inspectors as they confirm the veracity of Iraq’s accounting of its WMD programs;
We did it because Iraq was bribing officials all over the world to get sanctions lifted and the economic means of containing Saddam’s ambitions were coming to an end due to the corruption of UN officials and coalition officials and even media;
We did it because under the terms Iraq signed it was obligated to return captured prisoners of war from both the Iran/Iraq War and from its invasion of Kuwait;
We did it because Iraq was assisting al Qaeda affiliates in the development of poisons including the ricin cream that turned up in London ;
We did it because Iraq was harboring several wanted terrorists and was even providing them with pensions;
We did it because Iraqi, Iranian and NIF officials had been meeting in Sudan in advance of the 1998 US Embassy bombings;
We did it because Iraq was harboring two terrorist cells, one in Baghdad and one in northern Iraq which were involved in the assassination of USAID official Foley;
We did it because of Iraqi assistance with the Libyan nuclear program and other offshoring efforts;
We did it because of Iraqi diplomatic involvement with Philippine terrorists who had bombed US targets in that country and who had killed a US Army Ranger;
We did it to find out what had become of a USN officer;
We did it because of an Iraqi attempt to assassinate a former US president, his wife, and a Kuwaiti ally;
We did itbecause Saddam was promoting suicide bombings by providing family support to jihadists carrying out such bombings against a US ally and westerners caught in the bombings...
