Yet again, why Bush 41 didn't topple Saddam...
Edited on Wed Jan-10-07 11:16 PM by roamer65
<from his 1998 book>

"To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us, and make a broken tyrant a latter-day Arab hero. It would have taken us way beyond the imprimatur of international law bestowed by the resolutions of the Security Council, assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerilla war. It would only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability and destroy the credibility we were working so hard to reestablish."

Too bad his idiot son couldn't get it.:-(

Almost prophetic now.
