You have no way of knowing that. It could have been done with a single shot to the head. Avoided all the bloodshed. Same outcome? Doubtful.Clearly, if Saddam had been killed by Bush Sr., the mess in the ME would have happened that much sooner.Who knows had he killed Saddam the iraq war of W might never have happened and ISIS would not be Obabble's nail in his coffin as it now stands.Bush's father didn't leave. And you can't leave a cancer, you must eliminate it. I agree we don't have to live in the ME to eliminate it. Lay down our terms...if they are violated , act to destroy the offender with a nuclear strike. No more small ball.Scientists are wonderful people. They create new things out of old things all the time. But none of them have ever created a new thing out of nothing.
Like most of your sig:
America's new direction...(proposed)
Pull back from foreign entanglements (like Iraq and our insane involvement in the ME. Bush should have gone in, taken out BL and left like his father did.
Muscle up at home (military /infrastructure/economy) (we already spend more on our military than the next 10 countries combined. How much more do we need to spend?)
Man up to friend and foe (what does that mean? Please give an example.)
Lead (when Obama built a coalition of ME countries, that was a perfect example of leading. Bush's coalition had countries like Jamaica and el Salvador and every country we give money to. The problem is those ME countries all hate each other and every country is made from groups that hate each other. No one can lead them. We need to step back and let them figure it out on their own.)
New management required. (current management is fine. The problem is 8 disastrous years under the most ignorant GOP president since Reagan and then 6 years of Republicans punishing America for electing a black guy. Imagine, planning his downfall before he was even sworn in and telling us about it. So bold in their hatred.)
Nuclear strike against people who never attacked us? Who live on the other side of the world from us? That's insane. You know that, right? What gives us the right?
Sorry to disagree. Bush's father chased Saddam out of Kuwait and back into Iraq and then stopped at the border. He had the smarts to NOT invade Iraq and not waste American money in rebuilding a country that will only tear itself apart again because of sectarian violence. Then he brought our troops home. To me, he left.
On the nuke thing...either the members of the unprecedented coalition solve the jihad problem....or we solve it for them....not with ROE a and small arms but with catestrophic attacks. It's time they solved their problem...one way or another
