I was thinking we should help them do that way back in 1991 instead of letting Saddam fly his helicopters north to kill them.
Yep, old Bush 41 and Schwarzkopf screwed the Pooch when they let Saddam use Helicopters in the No Fly Zone.
Then again, Powell really messed it up when he started whining about the bad PR after wiping out the Retreating Iraqi Troops coming out of Kuwait.
President Bush caved because of the Optics, and Saddam was allowed to start fresh. Imagine if we just wiped him out back then. No Clinton and no Obama. Well, I can dream.
