went after saddam without 9-11. sorry about the caps at first.

Anthony,

       I do remember the Gulf War. The UN agreed to kick Hussien out of
Kuwait whom he had invaded. We did that in record time and were about
160
miles from Baghdad when Bush I ordered Schwartzkopf to stop and to not
take
all of Iraq.
Many people criiticized Bush I for not finishing off Hussein at the
time. But
He was abiding by the UN mandate. I now believe we would have gone after
Iraq
even had 9/11 had not happened, because it was on George W.'s agenda.
This
war is not about oil or American business, it's about avenging George
I's
"mistake".
