Saddam is a Bush Sr. oversight that apparently Bush Jr wants to rectify. He needs to keep his
personal goals out of the nation's business.

Inspections, removeal of WMD and even regime change in Iraq has been on the agenda since the Gulf War. Bush might be willing to push it further then Clinton was but it isn't a personal goal its been the US government's goal for over a decade.


Tim, this makes no sense. Bush Sr. had every opportunity to change the regime back in 1991 but didn't. And I suspect the reason was because we thought he still might be useful to us. We never knew when Iran would act up.

In any case, the plan backfired, Saddam has been a pain in the butt, and Iran is not the threat it was ten years ago so its time to take out Saddam [according to the Bushes].
