I'm sorry that you didn't understand. I'll try to clearify. Read the first sentance that you quoted from me.
"the path of least resistence"
He took that path of least resistence. That is why there was a slow and predictable increase in Somalia. That is why Bush the elder left Sadam in power that is why we tried to use mercinaries to do our fighting for us in Afganistan.
Get it ?
Politicains take the path of least resistence. In other words ; the do what is politically expedient at the time. nt what is needed for the future security of America.
I hope that the politicians that screwed up the Gulf war the first time around loose this time and America wins.
Nice attempts at history re-writing, newbie. Your 20-20 hindsight is certainly remarkable.
Bush Sr. and his military leaders did exactly the right thing, every step of the way before, during, and after the Gulf War. It was one of the greatest victories in American history. And the coalition that he built and maintained amidst terrible odds saved Israel and may very well have avoided WWIII.
Your boy Clinton pissed it all away within a couple years.
