It was Bush -- SENIOR's - fault. Why did we get mixed up in Gulf War one? Saddam was a useful tool against the Ayatollahs, the jihadis and the Gulf monarchies -- the former two hated him and he killed them continually and the latter feared him and their money spending on jihadis was kept in check as he constantly blackmailed them for money to fight the former two.

If Saddam was not removed we wouldn't have had 9/11 nor the Ayatollahs still around

The US should have invaded Pakistan after Afghanistan - and eliminated the Paki nuclear weapons and their terrorist training grounds -- the Pakis believed they were next Pakistanis wonder -- will they face Iraq's fate?

These articles are the liberal medias idea to get your mind off of the situation. The fact that Obama created ISIS as it is today when he overthrew Libya which is where these clowns got their heavy weapons and other advancements in technology shipped out of YES Benghazi. Obama and his media keep folks like you living in the past as opposed to putting Spec OPS on the damn ground and calling in TAC air and killing every ISIS SOB. Yet he used DELTA Force comprised of other SF to capture an ISIS fundraiser. A real lack of any effective plan and strategy is apparent.

Unsure what you mean, when you refer to Saddam’s removal, Snr Bush and 9/11. Bush senior didn’t remove Saddam; 9/11 happened before Saddam’s removal.

Bush senior was protecting Kuwait when Saddam attacked it, and by default both U.S. and Saudi interests there. But, both the Saudis and the Iranian regime benefited from Saddam’s removal by Bush junior.

Why did we get mixed up in Gulf War one?

Because Iraq had crossed Kuwait and was approaching the Saudi Arabian border? Nah, that couldn't have been why.
