Saddam was in violation of the terms of the ceasefire which ended the first gulf war. Sadly, feckless bill was more interested in bombing Serbian civilians than enforcing the ceasefire, and it was left to bush the younger to straighten it out.
Bush, the younger, took us on illegitimate, murderous, 20 year reign of terror search for phantom yellow cake. If Putin claims he’s looking for yellow cake, the American neocons should be fine with 20 more years of Russian butchery.
