Too bad he made it home OK.
“...Hussein’s regime had weapons of mass destruction (WMD)...”
I remember the time well. Bush worked through the UN for 12 years before they approved a resolution to invade Iraq. He had wide approval from Mideast and European countries many of whom provided some tangible support. The media made the WMD a big deal but Hussain violated several resolutions. Plus he challenged the UN/American “no fly” often. Twelve years passed before the invasion and everything was done with the UN Security Council’s OK.
