Why, then, didn't Bush Sr. take him outwhen he had the chance and no bs.....he definitely had the chance?

1. We had made the commitment, in order to build the strongest possible coalition, to abide by the UN mandate. The argument that we should have "taken saddam out" is among the least informed on the subject.

2. We had not tried containment. 11 years ago, it was totally logical to attempt to contain Saddam. I doubt ANYONE could have known that Clinton would mismanage the situation so badly (even though I knew Clinton was an incompetent before he was elected, I certainly didn't know HOW BAD he would be). This is an excellent example of how strong leadership saves lives. Clinton's mismanagement of the Iraqi situation, ultimately, may cost American and Iraqi lives. Had he not bungled this so badly, containment might still be a viable option, even today.

Its difficult to argue this point with you because you only see what you want to see

ROTFLMAO.
