Yet, just one good attack on the hated RG would have boosted the morale of Hussein's opposition within the general populace there, and given the RG a chance to reflect on their vulnerable mortality. That we walked before that occurred has puzzled me since. Isn't it an accepted idea though unstated as policy that Bush, 41, and his successors have intentionally left Saddam Hussein in power with just enough power to counter Iranian fundamentalism and also to justify an ongoing US presence in the region? It seems obvious that the goal was an overall policy allowing the US to remain there to protect its own and its trading partners oil interests.
