I have strong beliefs that Saddam did intend to be chief high honcho of the Arabic world. As such he was on a path to get rid of Saudi power and influence. The Bushes who were kissing the backside of Saudi royalty could not let such a game changer happen. So the two wars were needed not only as to oil supplies but for preservation of Saudi family power and control. If anyone takes this history as ‘Bush bashing’ so be it.
Thank you for reinforcing my point.
