What major war was that? The Gulf War?

Are you aware what that was all about?

The reason Iraq invaded Kuwait was because Kuwait had been slant drilling into Iraq’s oil fields and stealing their oil.

Irag determined that Kuwait owed them about $11 Billion dollars and they would not pay so Iraq invades.

That set Bush off because Saddam had thoughts of moving southward and invading Saudi Arabia. Now in light of what we know would that have been a bad thing?

The whole Gulf war set in motion all the turmoil we now have in the ME. It was a war we should not have fought. It was a joke.

Actually, Iraq invaded Kuwait because he was a maniacal genocidal supremacists who wanted to take over as much of the world as he possibly good.

It was not nearly as benign and beautiful as you suggest.

I am so glad he is now dead and suffered a devastating defeat multiple times to the World’s greatest military:

The United States Armed Forces.

SO NOT sorry for your loss of an SOB known as Saddam Hussein.

Someday you will cheer for the home team— trust me on this one.

Yeah, that's the ticket. And the main reason Hitler invaded Poland was because the Polish attacked a German radio station just over the border.
