They had it before and in the 1st Gulf War............I served then and talked to Marines whose CBR monitors went off going in...........Not just one vehicle, but SEVERAL VEHICLES at the same time.........One ...maybe a malfunction........4 or 5..........it's a problem..........Should not have gone. From thousand of miles away, we were under no immediate threat, not having weapons of mass destruction. Yellow cake was just a ruse by the ones that wanted us there. Probably more advance nuclear program on liberal arts campuses right here.He was sentenced to death for killing his own people and the Kurds........Slaughtering the Shia there who rose up after Bush Sr. rallied them to take the country back, and they were killed for it..........They thought we were going to FINISH IT in the 1st Gulf War.............Why wasn`t he charged for what you say he did?Absolutely. Saddam was killing a hell of a lot more people than that. God only knows what kind of horrors he would have unleashed over the next few decades, let alone his lunatic sons after him.Was the regime change worth 23,000 casualties?The regime change was awesome! It was the rebuilding and policing that shouldnt have been done.
BBC NEWS | Middle East | Saddam Hussein sentenced to death
Saddam was contained............and a long occupation was stupid..........always goes wrong in the Middle East.......and has gotten us stuck there for 18 years......
If you don't fight to win then you shouldn't go there at all...........As I've said........we should have just Fucked them up and left.............
We blew the living hell out of their ammo dumps and storage so we didn't really know what they had left....
Even with that.............Long term occupation and rebuilding was just the politicians making money for the Weapons Manufacturers................
Either way............get in and get out should have been done ........No long term occupations.....that is why we have been there for 18 years. and spent 6 Trillion to 8 Trillion adding to long term casualties.......
