Boy, its hard to believe that you boldface come on these boards proudly distorting the OP by bringing in the 91 war with GHW Bush and totally disregard the more recent war when Israel and the Pro Israeli PNAC Neo-cons hyped Bush Junior and Congress to attack Sadam Hussain, to give Iraq democracy...We got 4,000 dead American soldiers and Inspired Jihadist wars everywhere including the Arab Spring...
Just curious, why did you mention 91 and Kuwait? Did you want to fool us with the usual Zionist deceptions?

Memories from the Twentieth Century by Luigi Pintor
At a key meeting with Bush at Camp David on 15 September, Wolfowitz advocated attacking Iraq before Afghanistan, even though there was no evidence that Saddam was involved in the attacks on the US and bin Laden was known to be in Afghanistan. Bush rejected his advice and chose to go after Afghanistan instead, but war with Iraq was now regarded as a serious possibility and on 21 November the president charged military planners with developing concrete plans for an invasion.
Other neo-conservatives were meanwhile at work in the corridors of power. We don’t have the full story yet, but scholars like Bernard Lewis of Princeton and Fouad Ajami of Johns Hopkins reportedly played important roles in persuading Cheney that war was the best option, though neo-conservatives on his staff – Eric Edelman, John Hannah and Scooter Libby, Cheney’s chief of staff and one of the most powerful individuals in the administration – also played their part. By early 2002 Cheney had persuaded Bush; and with Bush and Cheney on board, war was inevitable.
