tejek,

re:If our UN mandate did not "permit us to help" the Kurds, why then did the CIA encourage them to revolt and promise assistance to them?

Lead, assist and encourage are quite different promises.

I do believe (in hindsight) we/Bush Sr. underestimated Saddam's hold on power and what would be required to remove him.

When we remove Saddam we will face a problem that Bush Sr.'s fukk up, as you put it, didn't have to face. How do we keep the three parties in Iraq from killing each other after Saddam's regime is gone.
