And then when the Kurds rose up against him in 1992, an uprising alleged to have been encouraged by the CIA, we stood by and watched the Kurds get slaughtered. We absolutely did. Why did we do this? Because we had made this commitment to the G.D. UN. People talk about Bush 41 having "made a mistake" by not going to Baghdad. WRONG. The mistake was in getting UN approval beforehand. And here we are being screwed by them again. All the more reason for telling the UN to shove it and doing what the hell we think needs to be done. And that is precisely what is going to happen in short order if the UN doesn't get their act together.

Ted Re..Read your history........Saddam went after the Kurds in 1984; AFAIK, Saddam gassed the kurds in 1998. I think the Iran Iraq war was sti8ll on in 84. And then when the Kurds rose up against him in 1992, an uprising alleged to have been encouraged by the CIA, we stood by and watched the Kurds get slaughtered. The US was prohibited to help by the UN. And while Bush 41 encourage them to revolt, I have never seen proof that Bush 41 promised to help them crush Saddam. It would be like me telling you to go ahead buy a car; but that doesn't mean I intend to make your payments. Bush probably though they were asking if Bush would stop them, not asking him to help. Control of Saddam only began in 1992........before that, Reagan and Bush Sr. considered him to be 'a special friend'. Really, because the invasion of Kuwait was in August of 90, and the war took place in 91. Do you have links to show Bush 41 was friendly after the invasion.
