I heard the former US ambassador to Iraq this morning. He had a conversation with Saddam 12 years ago. Supposedly, after the Gulf War, Saddam was hoping that the UN would get involved just like they did and he was hoping for an unending string of sanction after sanction. He said that it would give him time. The UN was Saddam's perfect tool.
Knowing this, why would our guys give ANY part of the rebuilding of Iraq to the a-holes who put us in harm's way? They have proven to us that all they are good at is gumming up the works.
Ya don't do that to yer friends.
Ditto.
