Everything Bush said about Iraq has turned out to be true.
Bush Sr., that is.

"Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land." George H.W. Bush

From:

"Why We Didn't Remove Saddam"
George Bush and Brent Scowcroft
Time (2 March 1998)

1. Too bad * Jr. didn't take his dad's advice.
Very interesting about the article "disappearing" from the table of contents, huh?

2. Yes indeed.
There wouldn't be a little man with initials K.R. involved in that, would there?
