Last time the mission was to get the Iraqis out of Kuwait ..... that's what the coalition signed on for and was all that we could do. Had we gone on to Baghdad, the coalition would have splintered and heaven only knows what would have happened ..... the whole Middle-East may have gone up in flames, including Israel.

This time a stated goal is a change in power in the Iraqi government. It's been said publicly and the whole world knows it. Anyone signing on with us will know that's what we're going to accomplish.

The two situations are vastly different.
