Hawk, previous US Presidents adopted a policy of containing Saddam, and not toppling him. Did they now?... Do you know who made the following statement?: "I believe if Iraq does not keep his word, we would have a unilateral right to respond. The United States remains resolved and ready to secure by whatever means necessary Iraq's full compliance with its commitment to destroy its weapons of mass destruction." Sounds like something Bush would say, right? Message 19507650 But the current Bush Administration decided to throw all that away and instead rushed to oust Saddam. Rush? Waiting through 12 years and 17 binding UNSC resolutions trying to enforce Iraq's disarmament is a "rush"? How many years do you think we should have waited? How many UNSC BINDING resolutions do you think should be issued because we finally say: "We really mean it THIS time" Hawk
