<<<The fact Saddam on hundreds of occasions attempted to murder Americans meant he had to go. The fact Saddam had standing orders to attempt to murder Americans meant he had to go. >>> Saddam was not the smartest guy around. He had no PR. He was hated by almost everybody. A case could be made to play hardball. A case could be made to get rid of him. Did we have to make up this mushroom cloud bs? Nobody bought that. Once we got rid of him, did we have to screw up the occupation? Professionals told us we needed several hundred thousand troops for the occupation. Guard the ammo dumps. Get the job done for several hundred billion dollars and get out. Instead we had to lie about the mushroom cloud, the number of troops needed for the job, the amount of money needed to do job. When you start lying, bad things happen.
