He did however attack the Kuwaitis and he did deserve to be driven out and toppled.

Past US Presidents right until Clinton recognized that Saddam had a role to play in serving US' geopolitical interests in that region. In support of that interest, he was supported and pampered by the US. Even Rumsfeld knows that since he met with Saddam when he served during previous administrations.

It was that pampering which led Saddam to assume that the US would not say or do anything if he made Kuwait "his 19th province". But he soon found that not to be true. Papa Bush recognized that Saddam should not be knocked out totally but that he be restricted to his borders and have him keep the warring Iraqi factions together within his borders. And the "no-fly" zone worked fine.

Baby Bush and his cohorts of crooks and greedy oil executives changed the entire game and decided to move in and capture his oil wells. Recall how Bush had put in a lot of effort in planning to protect the Iraqi oil wells before ordering in the US military. IN the end that was what he called "mission Accomplished". When his military marched in and secured the oil wells. He had not planned anything else beyond that. And that is why we are in a quagmire today.

Just my two cents outside of any party rhetoric.
