oh my. You jump around more than a Mexican jumping bean. Now try to follow this: 1. Saddam DID get mixed signals from our ambassadors (read the transcript of the meeting.) 2. This has nothing to do with UN sanctions- separate issue- and if you think "enforcing" UN sanctions by declaring a war without UN support, when it is their sanctions you are trying to wrap yourself up in, isn't a little...deceitful then what can one say to you?

This is a leftist dream. Tell that to April Gellespie, President Bush's Ambassador to Iraq in 1990. She told Saddam that we don't take sides in arab arab disputes when he brought up his gripes with her over Kuwait just days before he invaded. The U.S. basically said, go ahead and deal with as you wish. Some speculate that President Bush and his advisors miscalculated and thought Saddam would just take the oil fields along the border and leave the rest of Kuwait alone. They would have probably tollerated that. But, that meglomanic Saddam took the whole country and upset the world applecart and sparked a war.
