Ecuse me for being dense here, but just exactly where does GB encourage the people to revolt, by themselves, against Saddam.

CIA operatives under Bush Sr. encouraged Shiite Muslims and Kurds to revolt. Since the CIA operatives were on Bush Sr.'s watch, Bush Sr. is held responsible. It is further said that they he encouraged the CIA to act accordingly. However, contrary to the advise of his close supporters and other coalition nations, he decided not to send in troops as promised to aid the revolting parties.

I understand Bush Sr.'s reasoning but he had more right to depose Saddam than his son does. Furthermore, most nations would have forgiven us fairly readily and there would not be the schisms that we have today.

None of this is in dispute. Its a matter of public record.
