Nice rewriting of the the facts. Iraq was a big problem under Husseign. He murdered his people and took over another country. He refused to follow his agreed surrender terms and funded suicide bombers in Israel. Offered something to the tune of $50,000 per bombing to the families. He was a cancer. He and his sons were vicious. He was declared an enemy by three consecutive presidents of both parties. Removing him was not a feud between families.
Ya know .....
FWIW, there’s a lot of folks that raised a whole lot of heck about a little country named Vietnam, and why we shouldn’t have gone there, at that time, too.
The difference between some raghead dictator in some country amidst an ocean of sand, and Vietnam, was that there was a larger game behind Vietnam, called stopping the growth of Communism.
Nowadays, with self-avowed Communists in the seats of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as dreamers thinking they can become president, some folks just don’t think of the 50,000 plus sacrificed souls that stopped that Communist growth.
The tinhorn iraqi should have been left to the Mossad, which would have done it quicker and quieter than we did.
Still not worth it. And we should save that discussion for another thread.
Every President going back to Reagan and before knew exactly how evil Saddam was. But he was a useful counterweight to Iran.
