If the job had to be done sometime then there was no better time.
Congress was incensed, having been a target.
The public was aware that we has enemies in the ME.
The troops were in Kuwait, could not remain another year while the UN played around.
If the UN had another two months to debate, we would have been going in with gas masks and chemical suits plus equipment in temperatures up to 140 degrees.

The troops were ready, Congress was ready,the country was ready.

It was Saddams unlucky year.
