Well, Bush Sr. didn't have nice hair and probably can't or won't get it up. Yet, he didn't take Saddam out. Why do you refuse to answer my question? Why is Clinton at fault but Bush Sr. is blameless?

I guess I see them as apples and oranges. Bush Sr had the task of defending Kuwait, and we accomplished that. It would have been a great time to get rid of Hussein, but an objective above and beyond the original (successful) mission. And one that the left would have wussed out of anyways.

Once the cease-fire was in place, defying the terms was a slap in the face of the US. Certainly not on the same level as a direct attack ala 9/11, but very different (worse) than a threat to one of our allies.

Hussein picked a fight with one of Uncle Sam's friends, and Sam beat him up. Then later Hussein shoved Uncle Sam himself into a wall and Sam wimpered in the corner.

That's the difference in my opinion. Maybe Hussein is a pretty good judge of character and resolve after all?
